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...
wow... realised that it was rather long since i last wrote here. said i wld update on my days in japan but well, time just past by... and i was in cochin, india 2 wks after i came back from japan. we held a crusade there and wow, it was an amazing trip! truly an eye opener and i really admire wat Pst Bonnke is doing in the world. such a great man of God with such vision :) i'm really honoured to work under such a man's ministry.
but of cos, i have my own purpose in my life too. the purpose that God has given me. im still not that sure wat is that exactly though i do have some idea and a general direction to work towards. i guess this is wat makes my life less mundane and mediocre from many ppl around me, who either work for money or just work cos is a phase of their life - everybody is suppose to just work till they got married or enter another phase rite? no??! i truly dun agree.. cos being lidat is just waiting for another day to go thru until the day die. we ought not to live lidat, especially for someone who has Jesus in their lives. we are all born for a purpose. non-believers may not noe that, but we believers should. we shld all ask the Lord for the purpose He has for us, if not, in my opinion, we all live in vain!
sounds harsh or serious? i do think this is a serious matter. life is more than just getting a good job, buying a nice car, living in nice apartment and going for vacation when we ahve the spare cash, get married, have kids, retire, hv grandchildren... well, these are parts and parcels of life we all have, but there ought to be something more! - a purpose in life :)
im moving forward and moving onward with expectancy, looking unto the Jesus Christ for wat He has in store for me. though it is nt reali a v clear vision yet but im sure as days went by, things will be clearer and clearer. :)
just a side thought. just now as i was going for lunch, there was this girl who wasnt looking quite right. and after she talked to me, i realised im rite - she is a little not rite in her mind. i didnt noe wat to do. thoughts were racing in my mind of wat to do : shld i pray for her? shld i cast the devil out of her? shld i leave her alone? but if leave her alone, issit right to do so? shld i ask for help? wah..i realised i was really feeling helpless. i thought, wat wld Jesus do? what wld He wan me to do? but anyway, in the end, i chose the easy way out. i went to the church office and find someone for help, and they took over. well, actuali, u might say that that is the right way cos that is their expertise, in a sense. but to me, it is more of like, im sure any Christian can do it cos Jesus is in me. it does take experience. but i believe wisdom doe make a part too. i was a little disappointed in myself. wat is that "loving the unlovely" and "going to the poorest of the poor"? where is that unconditional love that shld be in all of us? i believe Heidi Baker wld have handled in another way....
i will still update the days i was in japan and in cochin, india... to update myself in the future too. :)
