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...
i was reading something on the net that i shldnt be reading last 2 days.. wat do u think it is? ha.. is the life of hitler! well, i read it coz i accidentally saw it when i was searching for some things abt the Rape of Nanking.(and well, the reason y i was searching for that is another mystery). anway, i came to this site which states the genocides made thru the centuries, and so i came to the Genocides of the Jews.. and i just thot to myself: wat exactly happened, and y does Hitler hate Jew so much? and since i had wanted to find out abt the holocaust, i decided to read it.. his life was told, and i realised that Hitler wasnt a very smart man and he wasnt a good leader exaclty. but how he can actually conquer so many nations is by trickery, lies and by barbarity, not a man of honour by any standard! of coz, he is influenced by satan. well, he was a strange, hysterical man. a man that doesnt accept correction since he was young. mayb spoilt by his indulgent mother. anyway, one talent he has that helped him in his whole life- the gift of the gab. he can tok and persuade so well that everybody will usuali be cheering and clapping for him at the end of a speech. but anyway, i still dun reali understd the whole notion of him hating Jews.no Jews had did him any wrong at all during his whole life. He just hate Jews coz of some articles he read and some of his own wrong ideals abt them. well, thats it! and he killed millions of Jews! and he himself might also be a quarter Jew(but he din noe that of coz). i can only say that he was one used by the Lord as a vessel of wrath to bring judgment against the Jews(i am not against Jews btw. im not an anti-Semite!)
anway, while reading it, somehow, an uncomfortable feeling came to me. i realised that it may not do me good spiritually to read abt an evil man. a fear also gripped me somehow as i started to think abt the Great Tribulation that will be coming. Will Christitians be able to run away from all these when the Ani-Christ comes? the Bible says it will be a time that nobody can buy anything, food or watever without the sign of the Beast, the economic mark of 666. can i endure that? and of coz, more than that, the tortures that will come. i do not know how similar the wars and that will be, but i noe it wun be easy since it is the call the GREAT TRIBULATION by the Lord Himself. i can only ask God to preserve me, and of coz make the right decisions everyday in my life, so when the enemy comes, i will be able to deter it by the sheer obedience to God.
we are to prepare for the Jews. the whole world looks upon it to c wat the world will become. ok, i shall not meditate anything abt that evil man alreadi. Philippians says we are to mediatate things that are true, good, noble, lovely, praiseworthy, of good report and such... 8 gates to pass before we mediate on it. so realised, there is nothing good, noble or lovely abt him.
"Finally, brethren, whatever things that aretrue, whatever things arenoble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue, and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things." Phil 4:8
