All my life You have been with me
How could I pretend not to see
I was walking on the line
I was wasting precious time
All I know is that You love me
If I call You will set me free
It's a promise that You made
It's the truth that will not change
Please help me to remember
My God has never let me down
My God has turned my world around
He loves me even though I know
I don't deserve Him
My God has never turned away
He's with me every single day
He's broken all the chains and set this captive free
Seems to you all your hope is gone
Never found a love that strong
It's a chance you have to take
A choice you've got to make
I hope that you'll remember
My God will never let you down
My God can turn your world around
He loves us even though I know we don't deserve Him
My God will never turn away
He's with you every single day
He's broken all the chains and set this captive free
(: morning devotions are getting better heh even as i struggle to not get a headache while reading in the car and all, and it really marks a good start to the day hurmm ESPECIALLY when youre stuck in a halfhourlong jam, end up late in school and get dirty looks from the discipline mistress and find that more than half the people that were late DIDNT get dc- and you did cos you were about what, five minutes later than all of them?
but HAHA i must declare God IS GOOD cos the guy let me off dc when i went to report :D heheeee "His eye is on the righteous and His ears are open to their cry." -psalm34:19 :D:D:D heh im not righteousness but He loves me anyway so :DDDDDDDDDDDD
and it gets really discouraging when i feel insidious evil satan attacking me and i watch all the negative aspects in my life which i did get rid of for a certain amount of time, all coming back again. and one horrible aspect is my really short temper eurghh i dont know how many people i've yelled at already..innumerable. i need to watch my step i know im treading on very dangerous ground and i know how easy it is to fall into happybeingsad mode and sit on my bum and wait for things to happen without doing anything and i REFUSE absolutely refuse to do that and i donotwantthattohappendonotdonotdonot
and i guess it all comes down to where your heart is. where my heart is, where my focus is, where my love lies. if i do not love, i am nothing. remembering 'my centre' which seems exceptionally apt at this point of time when the four of us are all struggling with keeping focused and know what? daily exhortation, and we'll make it through (:
it really is amazing watching His plan unfold in my life, how He placed each and every person that i know into that place, for a reason and it really feels like a kick in the stomach when you realise that so manymanymany people around think of worship as all about the feelings. and how the Word of God is secondary to the highly charismatic view which places so much emphasis on feelings. but feelings come and they go and if all you seek for is a 'spiritual high', you'll never find anything. i've learnt that over the years, the hard way. i thought i could hide from God but i cant. no one can. heh i remember so clearly this picture in my precious moments Bible of this little kid hiding beneath a blanket and beneath it is the catch phrase 'you cant hide from God' then the verse reference and it really made an impact on me and i need to remember that as i continue facing whatever else that comes (:
hurm like horrid rumors that results are coming out on the 16th of feb which REALLY SUCKS but yes i promised myself and Him to keep going and each day renewal, revival and strength from His word :D
verse of the day:
"for i am NOT ASHAMED of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the jew first and also for the greek. for in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, 'the just shall live by faith'"
i have a looonnnnnnnggggg way more but i'll hold on to this- the just shall live, BY FAITH (:
