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...
this is something resounding in me as i read the book "Dreaming with God" by Bill Johnson. I have read that book before, when I was down and despair.. read through that book but it was alrite. tonite, i couldnt sleep, so i decide to find something to read. open up my shelf, i saw that book, i decide to read it again.
It wasnt that great actually but somehow as i was reading, i kept thinking to myself.. wat is that that is stopping me? wat is that that made me stop dreaming ... for myself.. for God? probably it is cos i wasnt sure wat i want to do is of God or is it of me... it had been long confusing years... as i was reading, i kept thinking to myself.. wat do i want to do? wat have i been wanting to do for God all these years in the Lord? the book started with "no longer i call you servants, but i call u friends" topic... friends no longer earn fro presence, they live in the presence. the relationship of the Father shld be intimacy, and not of earning a presence. the will of the Lord is fluid, not static. desire comes from the father.
suddenly this resolution to have the courage to dream again sudden welled up in me. i felt a sense of energy. i noe God has been speaking about dreaming again... for the last few weeks, all the speakers that came toked abt dreams and dreaming again. having hope and encouragement. but there was a fear in me. the hesitation of dreaming again. i duno if im dreaming rite. i duno wat to dream again.
but having a dream gives ppl a vision to go on. things nv realise without dreams. like wat jason wong said, he can only do when he sees. thats the thing. i must dream and see again, and then can i start moving and working again.
Lord, help me to see clearer again as i commit myself anew to you.. emotionally, spiritually and even physically. thank you, my Lord, my Father and King.
p.s. wat i have decided i must not regret. i will just follow the plan and i believe He will make all things right in His own way and timing. there must be a way around this! amen.
