I was saying sorry to Dad about some stuffs and some doubts in my life while in his Camry. I know I need to repent.
I want to thank God for one song. =)
I thank God that I am able to talk to Hui Mun. It's been some while that we seen him previously and thank God, it's yesterday I thought of changing churches, and I asked God to speak to me, as I listened to this beautiful song. =)
A little boy of thirteen was on his way to school
He heard a crowd of people laughing and he went to take a look
Thousands were listening to the stories of one man
He spoke with such wisdom, even the kids could understand
The hours passed so quickly, the day turned into night
Everyone was hungry but there was no food in sight
The boy looked in his lunchbox, at the little that he had
He wasn't sure what good it'd do, there were thousands to be fed
But he saw the twinkling eyes of Jesus, the kindness in His smile
And the boy cried out with the trust of a child, he said:
"Take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as You will
I surrender
Take my fears, my inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
To feed them all."
I often think about that boy when i'm feeling small
And i worry that the work i do means nothing at all
But every single tear i cry is a diamond in His hands
And every door that slams in my face, i will offer up in prayer
So i'll give You every breath that i have
Oh Lord, You can work miracles
All You need is my "Amen"
So, take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as You will
I surrender
Take my fears, my inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
I hope it's not too small
I trust in You, i trust in You
So take my five loaves and two fishes
Do with it as You will
I surrender
Take my fears, my inhibitions
All my burdens, my ambitions
You can use it all
No gift is too small
~Corrinne May, Five loaves and two fishes.
A very strong and powerful song.
I was so touched.=)
It's enlightening, and refreshing. It brings out a point of view, a young child who knows nothing, looking at the crowd, aroused by the talks that is in simplicity, which kids can understand. Wasn't that we are being aroused at first?
Who does what caught my attention?
Who's that always guard my heart, and always giving me a soft heart?
Who's that always looks after my back?
Who's the one guide me and comfort me, when I was a young crybaby?
Who's the one always try to make me felt stable in life, when I am lost?
Who's the one who lead me to a powerful and lots of faith parent in my life?
I guess, none can take each other place. Another thing is, I guess that's why I always gambled, and lost a lot. =D But really thank God, because He showed me, how I was a child and no matter how I behave, I am always a child in His Eyes. I have won, actually lots as compared anyone. He equipped me with wisdom and knowlegde, and use them wisely.
Thank God for everything. =)
Often I think I am small, but I realised something. I maybe holding just like the boy, only 5 loaves and 2 fishes, a normal child lunchbox, I cant do anything much, but hand my lunchbox to Jesus and let Him to do it. The keys are God, and the lunchbox and my willingness. Anything that concern about satisfying the hunger, He will do it and split the food nicely, and made it sufficient to feed the thousands.
That makes me suddenly realised like, I hold the keys for the church and His Kingdom to expand.
I need to repent, because I thought of plotting against the leaders that is in front of us. Within my spirit, I guess I wanted to fight and win lots of souls into Christ. On the other hand, improve the ways and the faults that most spiritual parents made, and if can, perfecting my children and others into powerful leaders and parents of each other's lives. At the same time, I must commit them to God, because only through Him things can work out, and all things become possible. =)
When I simply trust Him, and done my part, in this scenerio, handing my lunchbox to Him.
A trust in Him, like a child, with no doubts. =)
It spoke of His Love to us.
He never fails to fill us up and more, don't He? =)
So, just surrender to Him, your all and all.
No gift is too small, just give Him whatever you have. =)
Let your sacrifice of praise be given to Him. Even if it is smaller than mustard seed. =)
Be obedient? Be humble?
True, you need that. But all after all, you must have the willingness to choose to be close to Him. After you choose to connect with Him, He will be near you. Choose a person to connect to, and He will make the way. Then thank God for all these, work on maintaining the connection between both, allowing God to be in control, and putting effort in following up and teach the other, how to fish. BE humble, be straight and may all be come from goodwill.
So what do I hear from God after I listened to that song?
Grace, and if I want any changes, I must work towards that!
Complain no use, actions do.
It will starts as long I got a son, and slowly guide him. Certainly I will change my teachings from the past generations, with the guidance of God, Dad and other elders, and goes with His teachings.
Thank God for Helen's prayer for me. =)
Well guess what?
Morning as I woke up, I seems like I am being put to a test, lust of the flesh. Yes, my mind is corrupted with those thoughts, but luckily I asked God to pull me back into His Arms, otherwise, guess I am going to sin against the flesh again. =)
Thank God today, yesterday, the rest of the days that is to come, and the song. =)
10Surely he says this for us, doesn't he? Yes, this was written for us, because when the plowman plows and the thresher threshes, they ought to do so in the hope of sharing in the harvest. 11If we have sown spiritual seed among you, is it too much if we reap a material harvest from you? 12If others have this right of support from you, shouldn't we have it all the more?
1 Corinthians 9:10-12.
It brings me back that about working alone in Christ. I thought of working by myself, since things cant be done on time sometimes, when we asked others. Consolidating someone, and planning to make him to stay in the church, and ask someone to further consolidate. Somehow he is being brought to other churches by someone. It used to agitate me that others bring the one I have been consolidating so long into other churches.
Lord told me this, Surely he says this for us?
Used to be agitated, but no longer now. Acknowlegding that we are Body of Christ, we are supposed to help each of us. Whether is it winning souls or growing in Christ, we are supposed to share each harvest. It's not the idea of Communism, but rather sharing the joy to others.
Winning souls are an effort working together, Where one is born, whether in which house of God, they can bring forth a revelation towards that House of God. =) He feeds us all to full, not only one. =)
Thank God for everything!
