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...
am jus glancing thru a book i bought for my sis a few years back..i wonder if she had read it, but i doubt so.. coz she dun like to read..AT ALL!
anyway.. just feel like putting this part in the book here...
The More Mature You Are, The Fewer the Masks You Will Wear
Immature people try to hide their weaknesses. Mature people recognises that it is in their weakness that God is strong. The people who are ashamed of their imperfections walk in pride trying to protect their images and reputations. Mature Christians realise that it is not their responsibility to look good or to protect themselves.
so, im not sure if u r quite surprise that Christians put on masks...ha... actuali yar, they does... and like it said, the more immature ones that are afraid of letting ppl noe abt their true self. well, and i hv to say almost all ppl do put on masks, regardless Christians or not.
however, i hv one thing to comment abt this. Christians ought to find their fulfilment in Christ alone, and nothing else. many ppl are insecure abt themselves, but in God, we found his unconditional acceptance when we come to Him. He welcomes us with open arms. and upon seeing Him daily and fixing our eyes on Him, slowly, we would wan to expose ourselves to Him, and stop looking ourselves and protect ourselves. just the apostle paul who says that he counts all things dung, so that he may win Christ. well said! Christians are not perfect. but Christians are ppl who do wan to change when they recognised their wrongs and sinful nature.
ha..somehow... i just felt my thoughts' a bit jumble up! :P
