my ipod shuffled to 'i am nothing' by ginny owens and i was struck by the lyrics of the song again, so i went back to 1corinthians13. haha. got alot of strange stares cos i was reading my Bible in the train but oh well. and it just reminded me, LIFE IS LIKE A VAPOUR. it comes and it goes. what is the legacy you wanna leave behind?
i know some days i get tired. and i ask myself why im doing this. why i dont just leave it all behind and live a life thats free of commitment, free from everything. but i know why. serving the Lord, loving Him, trying your best to walk close to Him, is a life that counts. its a life that God honors because you seek to honor Him. and the 'legacy' (sorry at the risk of sounding extremely cheesey) i want to leave behind must COUNT. living for yourself, living for the moment, i do admit has its joys. youre happy, you have loads of fun, you dont stress. but when all that passes, when someone fails you, or when youre sitting alone in your room (that is inevitable. you cant be with people allll the time), youre bound to feel this emptiness inside. and when that happens? God-shaped void. fill it. nothing else, no one could ever, only Him.
i found this on youtube. it's 1056am in the morning and i my eyes are already red from watching this. a very, very sobering remind of the greatness of the Lord. and why i love Him, cos He first loved me. (:
