Lover of my heart
All I want is to see Your face
All I need is a moment of grace
It is in You, that I have the faith
To stand up and be strong
‘Cause I know I’m no longer bound
It is in You that I have found
Peace of mind, freedom from my sin
And the power to love and forgive
Chorus:
I want to walk with You
Everyday of my life
To talk with You
In the good and the strife
You’re my Friend
You’re my Father
For all time
Nothing can keep us apart
You’re the lover of my Heart

" and I’m highlighting this in my notes: ‘we cannot underestimate what we’re doing, it has significance on our people’. every bit, bit by bit. one day, those bits and pieces will piece together and finally complete God’s work. to those who are worrying, keep holding on, keep believing, because:
Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.” "
Many times, i always think i am insignificant, no matter what i do is always insignificant.. That really lower my self-confidence and self-esteem a lot.. So when i was reading james' blog, and i read this, i remembered this verse.. [1 Corinthians 12:4-6, 12 - 31] 4There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.
12The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ. 13For we were all baptized by one Spirit into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.
14Now the body is not made up of one part but of many. 15If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 16And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body. 17If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 18But in fact God has arranged the parts in the body, every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 19If they were all one part, where would the body be? 20As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
21The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!" 22On the contrary, those parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23and the parts that we think are less honorable we treat with special honor. And the parts that are unpresentable are treated with special modesty, 24while our presentable parts need no special treatment. But God has combined the members of the body and has given greater honor to the parts that lacked it, 25so that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. 26If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honored, every part rejoices with it.
27Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. 28And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues. 29Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? 30Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? 31But eagerly desire the greater gifts.
as what james said, every bit, bit by bit. one day, those bits and pieces will piece together and finally complete God’s work. Like a jigsaw puzzle, what does 1 piece of the puzzle means? seems nothing? but think again, without it, how can u complete a picture? Every effort, every things we does, seems like nothing in the kingdom.. Not exactly nothing, but it seems just so minute (like an ant in the garden.. haha.. i dun like ants..) But in the end, it could be just that effort that we made, that we have made certain things possible.. For example(just an example), u are wearing a cross pendant, and on the bus, u gave up ur seat to an elderly.. She sees the cross, and that leaves an impression that christians are good.. That small little effort could have planted a good seed in her.. Who knows, she will get converted.. Everything is possible with that small little effort.. Yup..

I'm trading my sorrow I'm trading my shame I'm laying it down for the joy of the Lord I'm trading my sickness I'm trading my pain I'm laying it down for the joy of the Lord
Chorus: And we say yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord Yes Lord yes Lord yes yes Lord Amen I'm pressed but not crushed persecuted not abandoned Struck down but not destroyed I'm blessed beyond the curse for his promise will endure And his joy's gonna be my strength Though the sorrow may last for the night His joy comes with the morning

God will make a way
God will make a way Where there seems to be no way He works in ways we cannot see He will make a way for me
He will be my guide Hold me closely to His side With love and strength for each new day He will make a way He will make a way
By a roadway in the wilderness He'll lead me And rivers in the desert will I see Heaven and earth will fade But His word will still remain He will do something new today.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a rather old song.. heard it long ago.. But today, as in just, when looking through iTunes, i chanced upon this song.. i played.. i am so touched and so glad that God will never leave me or forsake me.. i am really touched to tears.. this just hits me so much so much so much.. i dunno how to describe.. again, His assurance for me, in this most depressing moments in my life.. again and again He assured me.. Lord, i am sorry for making u disappointed again and again.. Fail to bring that glory to your kingdom.. I will entrust all to ur hands.. ALL! i will try, definitely.. i believe YOU will make a way for me.. You have won my heart!! You are the only one who gave up your life for me.. No one else does.. You bear all the guilt and shame, just for all of us! Thank You Lord! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------You laid aside Your majesty
You laid aside Your majesty Gave up everything for me Suffered at the hands of those You have created You took all my guilt and shame When You died and rose again Now today You reign in heaven and earth exalted I really want to worship You my God You have won my heart and I am Yours Forever and ever I will love You You are the only one who died for me Gave Your life to set me free So I lift my voice to you in adoration
