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...
fancy writing a testimony for a job application form. this is my 1st. ha. i was in a way at a loss what to write hence i procrastinated for quite some time. not coz i dun hv anything to write but rather, there are simply too many to say. a Christian life is way much exciting that it seemed it is! ha..anyway, i decided to write it today. And lo and behold! i managed to somehow write a short summary. i was surprised, coz i firmly believe is inspired by the Holy Spirit Himself. just thot to put up here...
I came to know the Lord Jesus Christ in the year 1998 after getting saved through a street evangelism. Although I have to admit that I did not really understand what I was doing at that time, I believe that the Lord took me for my word. By His grace and mercy, I was brought into the Kingdom of God and receive that salvation that He offered to me.
For the first few years, I did not really understand what is to be a Christian, and my life was up and down like a roller coaster. Until one day in 2001, during an altar call, I heard the call of discipleship from the Lord to “deny myself, pick up the cross and follow Him”. This became my turning point in my whole life as a Christian. My life was no longer just an “ups and downs” but rather having that direction and knowledge of who I am as a disciple of Christ and I found myself wanting to please Him more than I ever wanted in my entire life. It was also around that time I baptized in the Holy Spirit and got the gift of speaking in tongues. From then, the spiritual realm seemed to be a lot more different to me than ever before. It was a reality! So, I really have to emphasize that I believe in the gift of the Holy Spirit and speaking in tongues very much as I have a personal experience on it.
It was also that year that I felt called to missions. I do not know if I am really called to be a missionary or full-time, but from then on, I have been preparing myself spiritually and all that I can. So that if ever the Lord is going to be used me in this area, I would be ready and able to. I am still in the midst of preparing myself so that I will be of use in the Kingdom of God. The Lord Himself is also still dealing with many areas of my life which still need much consecration and pruning.
