To You

It's been a long time since I totally submitted myself to the Lordship of Jesus in my life. In fact, looking back on the many months, I only see myself gaining instant "fixes" in my spiritual journey just because I have to. (i.e Times like when I'm needed to administer to people through worship or my playing)

Just reflecting on Fr William Goh's homily at the 4th Saturday/Pentecostal Mass. His words gave a very clear perspective on where I stand in my own worship. His words struck a very raw nerve. "How do you proclaim that Jesus is Lord if you don't read the bibile? If you don't pray regularly?"

I believe that if 2 people (who have never corresponded with each other) were to tell me a same message within a day or 2's timespan, that message is one that requires my immediate attention.

On sunday, I was at St. Theresa's helping the publicity for YISS. As I was giving out the flyers at the entrance of the church, I chanced upon the confessional. I took a peek in... No one was inside, no priest either. A voice prompt me to make my peace with God that very day. I did.

Amidst the mess of things right now in my life, I'm once again reminded that the Almighty reigns. To love is to forgive, to forgive is to obey, to obey is to surrender. A total surrender into His arms isn't something that we can give at the spur of the moment. No, the journey isn't complete when we make that commitment. Everything comes full circle only when our lives become a tangible reflection of that commitment.

To err is human... I have many times proclaimed a total surrender, but in truth held back. I also believe many of us would have faced similar situations in our journey of life. Know that Jesus said in John 15: 5 "I am the vine, you are the branches. Whoever remains in Me with Me in him bears fruit in plenty; for cut off from Me, you can do nothing."

For this reason, we must be mindful at all times and focus on being righteous in God. The words of a popular worship song goes,"Though my world may fall, I'll never let You go."

God Himself never said that it was easy. Luke 9:23 "Then to all He said: "If anyone wants to be a follower of Mine, let him renouce himself and take up his cross everyday and follow Me." For those who watched The Passion of The Christ saw how difficult it was to carry that chunk of wood. It was so heavy that He fell 3 times. But know this, that at the end of that journey, He was raised above all and glorified by the Father. For it was at the end of that journey that all men are reconciled with God and He makes ALL THINGS NEW...

Amen.

Just wanna leave everyone with a song that administered to me last friday at prayer meet. A shout out of thanks to God for having chosen Grace to pick that song for her worship. And Worship Team, thank you... You guys are the greatest...

TO YOU

Here I stand,
Forever in Your mighty hand,
Living with Your promise written on my heart.

I am Yours,
Surrendered wholly to You.
You set me in Your family,
Calling me Your own

Now I,
I belong to You.
All I need,
Your spirit Your word Your truth.
Hear my cry,
My deep desire,
To know You more.

In Your name,
I will lift my hands,
To the King,
This anthem of praise I bring.
Heaven knows,
I long to love You,
With all I am,
I belong to You.
