Prayer Time..

Through It All


You are forever in my life
You see me through the seasons
Cover me with Your hand
And lead me in Your righteousness
And I look to You
And I wait on You

I will sing to You, Lord
A hymn of love
For Your faithfulness to me
I'm carried in everlasting arms
You'll never let me go
Through it all

Hallelujah, hallelujah

I Can Only Imagine

I can only imagine
What it will be like
When I walk
By your side

I can only imagine
What my eyes will see
When your face
Is before me
I can only imagine

[Chorus:]
Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all
I can only imagine

I can only imagine
When that day comes
And I find myself
Standing in the Son

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever
Forever worship You
I can only imagine

[Chorus]

I can only imagine [x2]

I can only imagine
When all I will do
Is forever, forever worship you

Often times, I see myself wanting to have things that are good. I found myself wanting to have a cam, laptop, macbook, video cam, ipod, mp3 and stuff. I want to have does things but my parents can't buy me any of those. Tendency is, I get mad at them. I tend to shout at them and put an ill manner at them.

Today's gospel has strucked me. It tells me of riches that I want to have when I am still here on earth. But the gospel tells me that it's not important.

Often times, we want to have greater and much more than the things that we have. That's why people tend to steal, envy, or worst, murder people just to have those things that they think are necessities but in reality they are those things that we don't need the most.

When I was in grade school, I am fond of imitating my classmates. If they look rich, I pretend to be rich also. I don't pretend, I was rich before. When they have this new stuff, a day or two, I will also have one. That satisfies me but I am not contented. I grew up wanting much, geting much. I grew up in a wrong idealism.

But when I came to know Christ, everything changed. I became less concerned about what was new to my classmates. Trends and fashion became an irrelevant thing to me. The only things that I cared about was my service. I thought I was doing the right thing but I wasn't. I've realized that I was serving God in the wrong way. I will go to YFC events because I just want to show of. To show my leaders that I am good. That I am a potential leader also. Not the things and stuff but I aimed on position, on leadership. I aimed to be the best. Not for God but for myself.

And then I grew tired of proving my worth to them. I became unhappy with what I am doing. I got burned out of pretending that I am the best. And this is where I really get to meet God. I don't know how, but I do things in a way that none is pleased but I just know that God is very happy about my performance. God has gave me a new passion to serve out of the love that He has for me.

And then I grew to love Him more. Everyday, I am thankful that I have blessings that are hard to believe and hard to explain.

I don't really know what really will happen to me but by doing this, may God grant me the blessing and riches that I will need when I am in heaven. As of now, may God also give me what I need and what I deserve to have.

Lord, I have learned the importance of being faithful to You. I know It's been a long time since I denounce my dual life. May You continue on giding me towards the right path. May You allow me to stop the things that are unpleasant to Your eyes. May You strengthen everything in me, especially my heart and my mind. continue to prosper us with Your love. Bind us always. and may we always be reminded that we are one with You.

Amen.

Glory be to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. AMEN.
