Striving is a work of the flesh

Today, God said "ceased striving" Striving is a work of the flesh. If our flesh is week, we are only fighting flesh with flesh when we strive.  When our flesh is weak we need grace. It is done, God has done it all on the cross. I just need to know I am redeemed and follow my redeemer. Away from the old life...

Awesome truth, awesome song. I am redeemed, you set me free, shake off these heavy chains, rub off every stain, I'm not who I used to be ...



Seems like all I could see was the struggle
Haunted by ghosts that lived in my past
Bound up in shackles of all my failures
Wondering how long is this gonna last
Then You look at this prisoner and say to me
“Son, stop fighting a fight that's already been won”

(Chorus)
I am redeemed
You set me free
So I'll shake off theses heavy chains
And wipe away every stain
Now I'm not who I used to be
I am redeemed
I am redeemed

All my life I have been called unworthy
Named by the voice of my shame and regret
But when I hear You whisper, “Child lift up your head”
I remember oh God, You're not done with me yet

Chorus

I don't have to be
The old man inside of me
'Cause his day is long dead and gone
Because I've got a new name
A new life I'm not the same
And a hope that will carry me home

Chorus (X2)

You are God - Philips, Craig and Dean

Some time at some point of our lives we experience pain. Sometimes it stems from being helpless, sometimes we fall, sometimes we hurt, sometimes we lost. And we want to shake that feeling off, only it wouldn't go away as easily.

I was walking along the underground walkway at Orchard Road the other day and saw a busker. I whipped out more than I would usually give. He said "thank you very much", and I could tell he was surprised and immensely grateful. Unknown to me, my act of self-preservation at trying to heal my own pain through random act of what I thought was an extravagant gift looked feeble in contrast to his gratitude. God spoke to me instead. He said, "My child I forgave and I was the one who was extravagant" That is why this song  spoke to me, God is still in control no matter what circumstance.We can never out-give him, even in our pain. We cannot save ourselves. I used to believe we love only when we give till it hurts. But I know now God doesn't want our act of pious-ness, he wants our hearts. When we truely love, we give our hearts unreservedly.

When I was in the bookstore yesterday, a little child of about 2 or 3 came to me as I was browsing. He couldn't look at me in the eye, and was holding back his tears. He asked "Aunty, do you know where is my m...mummy?" I looked at him and was at once overwhelmed with his sense of lostness-ness. I stood up and assured him & held his hands, "Its ok, little boy, your mummy is looking for you too, she should be in this shop."

He was sobbing as his mum emerged from behind the shelves. The scene vividly reminded me of the God, our heavenly father who is always there, always looking for us when we get lost. He never forsake us and never gave us up. Do we look for him when we are lost? He is unchangeable, unshakeable, unstoppable, that's what he is, he is God alone. Right now, in the good times and bad, he is on the throne. He is God alone. If you have a situation that is taken right out of your hands, trust it into your loving heavenly Father's. Be blessed.



 You are not a God
Created by human hands
You are not a God
Dependant on any mortal man
You are not a God
In need of anything we can give
By Your plan, that's just the way it is

[chorus]
You are God alone
From before time began
You were on Your throne
You are God alone
And right now
In the good times and bad
You are on Your throne
You are God alone

You're the only God
Whose power none can contend
You're the only God
Whose name and praise will never end
You're the only God
Who's worthy of everything we can give
You are God
And that's just the way it is

[chorus]

[bridge]
Unchangeable
Unshakable
Unstoppable
That's what You are

The more I seek you - Kari Jobe

If there may be a place in your heart that you needed someone to reach down and say you are worthy, you are beautiful , you are needed, how much you are wanted and treasured. know that this person is God. If there may be times you face rejection, know that God never rejected you. If there may a place you have fallen short, know that God's mercy wants to embrace you. If there may condemnation, God's love said that his heartbeat is for you. Know that he will  let you lay against him and let you hear his heart beat. So much is his love, he is beckoning you to melt in his peace. Be blessed. 



The more i seek you,
the more i find you.

The more i find you,
the more I love you

I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath,
hear your heart beat

This love is so deep,
it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming

The more i seek you,
the more i find you.

The more i find you,
the more I love you

I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath,
hear your heart beat

This love is so deep,
it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming

I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath,
hear your heart beat

This love is so deep,
it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming

I wanna sit at your feet
drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath,
hear your heart beat

This love is so deep,
it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace...
