All things work for our good
though sometimes we can't see how they could.
Struggles that break our hearts in two
sometimes blind us to the truth.
Our Father knows what's best for us;
His ways are not our own.
So, when your pathway grows dim,
and you just can't see Him,
Remember you're never alone.
God is too wise to be mistaken.
God is too good to be unkind.
So when you don't understand,
when you don't see His plan,
When you can't trace His hand,
trust His heart.
He sees the Master plan.
He holds the future in His hands.
So don't live as those who have no hope.
All our hope is found in Him.
We walk in present knowledge,
but He sees the first and the last.
And like a tapestry, He's weaving you and me
to someday be just like Him.
God is too wise to be mistaken.
God is too good to be unkind.
So when you don't understand,
when you don't see His plan,
When you can't trace His hand,
trust His heart.
know how life's a huge sinusoidal wave? well its kinda still on the downside but its getting better, by much and i only have One person to thank for that (: rambled on to ma for about an hour yesterday about all the rubbish school and people have brought and its really during such times that i really, really appreciate the wonderful people that He's given. its amazing really, that with the way jc life goes that we have the privilege of being able to see each other on weekends through which each of us draws renewed strength and revival cos we know we're not alone, never alone when we walk with Him (: and to me, i think its just amazing how we can not see each other for five days [in the course of the week] not talk very much and yet we can still pick up where we left off and keep talking like that weekly space never existed. we dont go out all the time, in fact most of the time we just meet in church but i tell you church is where the deepest, most amazing friendships are formed and i can safely assure anyone that i wouldnt trade these three darlings for anything. (:
really learning to thank Him continually for His blessings of such special friends (: i read alot of stories about friendship and in most stories two people have just about everything in common, taste in clothes, shoes, boyfriends [which by the way sucks cos if you fall in love with the same guy thats a gone case for you] anything under the sun and they might as well have been twins. for the four of us, heh we're as different as day and night ruth likes strange furry things [namely her dog.] jia likes VEGE rie likes to eat prata without the sauce and i? i like to attack cute little boys ;p four of us, as different as we could ever be but the One thing we have in common, is Christ. and with friendships built on that single solid rock, with Christ as the foundation, these friendships truly, last forever (:
on Christ the solid rock i stand, all other ground is sinking sand.
haha He's still workin' on me was re-found during sss1 today and what t diona said reallyyyy struck me
to make me what i oughta be
it took Him just a week to make the moon and stars,
the sun and the earth and jupiter and mars,
how loving and patient He must be,
He's still working on me! :D
He made the heavens, the earth, the stars, moon the land the seas every single living creature in SIX DAYS, and He made them PERFECT. and me? He's been working on me YEARS and im still sosososososososososososososososososososo sosososososososososososososososososososososo far from being perfect. and yet i know He's never, never never never given up on me (: i never really thought about that until t diona brought it up and YEA its a though of amazement a wonderful reason to praise Him as i bring this thought with me through the week (:
walking isnt easy, and more often than not i find myself stumbling, worse than before. but when it happens its the constant reminder that i should yield my all to Him, my life, my studies, my friendships, my relationships and everything that my life encompasses- and thats when i'll be able to find real, true JOY (:
"enter by the narrow gate, for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way that leads to life, and there are FEW WHO FIND IT." -matt7:13-14
sometimes i cant explain the ache i feel in my heart when i look around and see people hurt, who have their lives centred on themselves and the people around them. and the misconstrued conception people have of Christianity, but YES i will stop being jaded about it and just keep going, and keep trusting, COME WHAT MAY (:
i've got a long way more before i can really become a truly dynamic, EFFECTIVE servant of His, but though it seems such a long way off, im not gonna give up cos if even He doesnt give up on me, why should i be giving up on myself? NEVER
i'll keep walking, in His steps (:
