I don't mind if you've got something nice to say about me
And I enjoy an accolade like the rest
You could take my picture and hang it in a gallery
Of all who's who and so-n-so's that used to be the best
At such'n'such ... it wouldn't matter much
I won't lie, it feels alright to see your name in lights
We all need an 'Atta boy' or 'Atta girl'
But in the end I'd like to hang my hat on more besides
The temporary trappings of this world
I want to leave a legacy
How will they remember me?
Did I choose to love? Did I point to You enough
To make a mark on things?
I want to leave an offering
A child of mercy and grace who
blessed your name unapologetically
And leave that kind of legacy
I don't have to look too far or too long awhile
To make a lengthly list of all that I enjoy
It's an accumulating trinket and a treasure pile
Where moth and rust, thieves and such will soon enough destroy
Not well traveled, not well read, not well-to-do or well bred
Just want to hear instead, "Well Done" good and faithful one...
wretched man that i am! who can deliver me from this body of sin?! felt that i am suffering from split personality soon. seemed that i am a different person when im doing my Quiet Time or with God, but a different person outside of it. i can immediately forget who i prayed or wat i said to the Lord.. arhh.. how can it be... offering lip service with such lightness... but then, i reali do mean it when i prayed. why is that so?? because my body, soul and spirit is not united. they are lusting against one another. Oh Lord, make me united. Make my heart unite that i may fear Your name Lord. Oh, i so long to make myself wholly devoted to You!
this can be only possible when i am abiding in the Lord. that remaing in Him, that position of remaining and abiding in Him. and so whatever i do, will be united. my body, soul and spirit.
"I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit... Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itslf, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit for without Me you can do nothing." John 15:1-2,4-5.
felt that the Lord wants to do a deep work in my heart, to cut off the callous, hard part of my heart. that it will a fleshly heart. after all, isnt that what i felt i wanted to have? that God may write His law in my heart, on tablet of flesh, not stone. Oh, i want a tender heart!
