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...
something interesting happened this morning. to cut a long story short. she msg me that she is unhappi and after some questions and answers, i realised that is a relationship problem. then she says she wants to noe more of my frens. hm... ok.
i realised many of my frens of or near my age are having the same problem. well, and my answer to them will always be: have the right focus! and noe who is the right person u r looking for in ur life! and u r rite! i am referring to the Lord Jesus Christ! ppl start to look for someone in their lives coz they are lonely. so they thot looking for a partner, a relationship will solve their problem. but then, the problem is never if u foudn the right person, but the right focus. the loneliness proble will be always there coz it is a problem that is there since and before the fall of man.
God creates man coz God desires companionship. So He creates Adam. God sees that Adam needs someone to help him, so He created Eve. When both sinned, God has to chase them out of te garden. So a void appears in the heart of man. because teh reason y man is created is for companionship. and though eve is with him, he is never totally clear of this void. loneliness. heard of this very similar quite before: u can be in the midst of thousand men, yet feel alone. lonely. why? coz the issue is we nd to come bakc to wat we are originally created for.
of coz, God creates Eve for Adam, thats y thats marriage. but ultimately, if our hope is set on a PERSON, it will NEVER be right! y? so is not a companionship problem but a perspective problem. coz man tends to fail ppl. isnt that right? is true! ok.. dun wori. i am not saying we shld trust no one. u will be one miserable person if u trust no one and can turn to nobody. i am one who trusts everybodi, but then i only put on my hope on the Lord Jesus Christ. neither put ur hope on things, money. they cant move and are temporal. they also will failed. God never fails and He is eternal!
of coz, toking abt relationship problems, is not that i dun hv, but like i said, i dun put my hope there, so i dun put my priority there. so naturally, when problems come, it is not so much of a big problem. i have left this to my God Almighty. i simply trust that He will take care of it. i dun wan put myself in a situation that causes certain thing to happen and then whine over it when things turned. honestly i dun trust myself to be able to handle such things. ha... IM IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH EVERYBODY, AND MY LORD JESUS CHRIST!
