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...
do u noe that xmas is because of Christ, not santa claus?
ha.. that as a side note. i was surprised that some of my international frens do not noe. only santa for Christmas. hey. thats y is call CHRISTmas rite?? that also got to show how the world has succesfully portray commercialism and materialism to tell people to buy, buy, buy for Christmas! and the success of secularism of not mentioning CHRIST for Christmas. bad...
anyway, to digress... as the end of this year has been coming, i will usually reflect wat has happened this year and ask the Lord for wat is coming ahead next year. i looked in my journal and i realised that wat the Lord has told me that is coming for this year has come to pass. and so, im pretty accurate spiritually (for myself :P). anyway, upon praying for wat is coming ahead this coming year, i sensed that this coming year will be a difficcult one for me. but well, is always in difficult times we will get treasures that we dun usually get - treasures of darkness. and that means, i will grow up more. is only when u fall down, u will grow up faster. isnt it?
i was doing my QT today. and the Lord spoke. a warning from Revelations. gotta be watchful... definitely a verse for me coz i noe it is that is exactly happening to me. is the Lord's mercy that brings us to repentance. asked the Lord to plant in me a seed for the love for holiness. and somehow, i felt that something was planted in me when i prayed that. and i receive it by faith! :)
