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...
think i hvnt been in a way properly blogged for some time. reason being i was very busy. doing a montage for my frens who are getting married. but of coz, somehow, i dun reali feel like blogging. a good thing mayb. :) ha.. and just like wat i said... dun reali feel like blogging, yet somehow think that mayb i say something here.
today the Tertiary Ministry met for prayer. to pray for the hostelites who have given their lives to the Lord and for those who have not...(hm...which means include all hostelites..ha..) anyway, karen was mentioning that the church will be planting a cell there to build up the hostelites there. it is a good news. v good in fact. i was thinking we do not just want to ask them receive the Lord then just leave them alone. then they will be like babes who will never grow up, and will in fact just die away. although it is the Lord who caused the increase, we must do our part to plant and give water. the Lord will be faithful to see thru all this. amen! im indeed v excited and anticipating of wat the Lord will be doing from this.
and how does it concern me? well, i may be deployed to be in that cell, which is a good thing again. but somehow, i felt smthing in me rising up even as i have this thought. which is not a good thing at all. wat is rising up? pride. self glorying. i noe, if i am chosen to help build the cell there, it is not that im good or even spiritual or even reali mature, but it is the Lord who is willing to use me as His servant. i have to bring this to the cross and die to myself. let no flesh glory in His sight! i noe i am many times prone to fall into this. it has always been a weakness of mine. and that is why the Lord has never failed to address this in my life. which of coz i am grateful.
Lord, help me to die to myself. to pick up that cross and see things as you are. to have a pure heart so that i may see You.
i got reminded of wat a fren said during a prayer mtg. we are to pick up that cross. but if we are unwilling, that cross will become a stumbling block. how true is that, i thought! the cross was a sign for us to be near to Him, but yet if we are unwilling to pick up that cross, it will only become a stumbling block. let us not be found a ppl who find that picking up the cross is a hindrance and chore. but that each step of the way, is a step of finding that eternity.
a stone can either be seen as one who stumbles u or seen as a stepping stone.
