He has filled our hearts with wonder
so that we'll always remember

you and i are made to worship
you and i are born to love
you and i are forgiven and free

when you and i embrace surrender
when you and i choose to believe
then you and i will see
who we were meant to be

finding my way back

know what? i had an awesome time with God tonight. spending time with Him today just meant picking up my guitar and playing one song over and over again, allowing it to sink in deeper and deeper with each time i sing it.

this is the song:

I was made to praise You
I was made to glorify Your Name
In every circumstance
To find a chance to thank You
I was made to love You
I was made to worship at Your Feet
And to obey You Lord
I was made for You

and this is my response to Him :

(2nd verse)

I will always praise You
I will always glorify Your Name
In every circumstance
I'll find a chance to thank You
I will always love You
I will always worship at Your Feet
And I'll obey You Lord
I was made for You

Isn't that just so incredible? It just speaks so much to me. It's like all this while I'm searching for who I am, and I finally find it in this song. It's meaning strips life down to the core so simply, and it tells me who I was made to be; who we're all made to be - we're worshipers before we are disciples.

just a quick post

I had several epiphanies today after clearing my head out of the many many many things which have been clogging it up for the past 4 months or so.

This is a summary of what i'm reminded of:

1) i can only hear God when my mind is not distracted by stuff or clogged up with s***.

2) choose life. choose the best, don't be satisfied settling for what's good.

3) love those around you while you still can, invest in other people's lives instead of guarding your "personal time", 'cos the Bible is right when it says that life is but a breath. without breath, the human body is just.... a corpse without a soul.

4) don't let yourself hold you back. when you realise that no mistake can take away God's plan for your life, you'll find freedom in living life as God had intended for all of us to live. 放手一博 :)

live. love. laugh.

where are you when i need you.

let Him be your Grace.

a simple reflection

lying in bed at the end of the day, wondering about what really matters in life, i'm more certain that the fleeting things in life don't satisfy. on the contrary, its that fleeting heart to heart moment shared between two people that is of so much more worth than any material good that you could ever possibly possess. that one defining moment that touches lives and changes relationships in that instant, that propels it forward into something deeper, richer, fuller.

i love these moments.



and i wish life were full of them.
:]
