From the Inside Out -Hillsong
A thousand times I’ve failed
Still Your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
I’m caught in Your grace
Everlasting
Your light will shine when all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes beyond all fame
In my heart and my soul
Lord I give You control
Consume me from the inside out
Lord let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love you from the inside out
my spiritual walk
introduced to Christ when i started school - St Anthony's Convent. we had morning prayers and hymns together with national anthem and school song.
we had mass in the chapel and for some of us it was a break away from lessons, a time to rest our eyes, a time to do nothing. for me it was a break and sometimes a short nap. :)
all i remembered was that i could ask for anything from heaven by going through Mother Mary. i believed because everytime i lose something, i'll pray and i'll find it.
it was a process that always worked. childlike faith? i guess so. there were no doubts then. i just believed. now that i think back, i didn't pray through Mary, i just asked to be
led to where my lost items were and waited for signs. sadly, there was also no deep or sincere gratitude. just a simple "thank you" after that.
this went on all through my school days. however, somewhere along the way, i forgot about the asking for assistance or directions. i made things happen on my own and depended on my own strength.
sometime after seconday school, a friend brought me a to a Christian service...CULTURE SHOCK! where were the books? where was the process? where were the instructions? there was
nothing for me to follow! i didn't know when to kneel or when to stand or what to say. however, i enjoyed the service. lost contact with my friend soon after and didn't step into
a church after that until some years later for my sister's baptism. started going on and off with my family as shortly after that, my parents and sisters got saved and baptised but not me.
...the story continues in "my journey".

week 2 ...
i had difficulty focussing. not because i was tired but my mind was still clouded. something was bothering me. who am i? what is my purpose? then on day 2, pastor said something
John 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.
it hit me right in the spirit. "i am good enough"..."i am chosen"..."it is all given, let me receive"
today, i had a vision of the tabernacle. pastor led us through the pain and suffering Jesus carried for us, how his blood had cleansed us of our sins. how can i not love and forgive? what can be more painful than His walk carrying the cross to be crucified? to be caned and stripped of all dignity and pride and still He did not give up. His love for us kept Him going for He knew what He had to do for us. greater riches and glory awaits Him at the right hand of His Father.
i am humbled before Him. i ask...but what have i got that's worthy to give?
For all the wants in this world, we just need one thing - JESUS. For He is the joy, the hope and the peace. He is the way, the truth and the life.
Life is beautiful when you look upwards and outwards instead of inwards and down
Do God's work with no doubt, only faith
Let go of all your burdens and go through the eye of the needle
Colossians 1:27 - "the hope of God being seen in our world is found in you and me..and this is the way God created it.And the hope of God's love being heard is found in the words we speak"
if you remove this, i'll come after you!muahaha want!ng xxxxxx
