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...
... that was the state that the Lord was in when HE was on earth more than 2000 years ago. when will be my turn to be able to say such a thing. yes! i lack the zeal of the Lord! this i knew was the lack in my heart for ..i dunno.. some time alredi. something was missing inside of me. yes, im still spending time with Him, im still faithfully doing my ministry, in fact,very busying doing. im even going for a mission trip. but where's that zeal? that passion? i knew that was the lack in my life when i look in my life a few wks back. it seemed all was in the external, but in the internal? am i merely goin thru motions? even my shepherd has said to me..stop being so laidback in your spirtual life. i was offended, but realised it is true. i hv been asking the Lord for the zealousness, for the zeal. and last wk, Pst Yang preached abt the Zeal of the Lord. ydae, Pst Samuel of the chinese congregation spoke on that. today, during the prayer mtg as they sent us out, they prayed abt that. the prayers literally hit me! i began to feel that fire, that zeal. i hope that this fire will nt burn out fast, but to keep and guard that fire in my hreat. i want to be fire torch that can set ppl on fire! that ppl will just and c me burn! ( ok, mayb im reali not there yet...) but reali, wat is a Christian who is lukewarm? not even the Lord says that i rather you, hot or cold? if u r lukewarm, i will vomit u out of My mouth. yes! the Lord rather us to be hot or cold. but lukewarm, was that?
im going for my trip this thur. many things have agn change in our initinery. thats truely exciting and interesting! i have always a passion for souls but let it not be me, but He who called me to the harvest field to give that to me!
