a letter for Him... : )

we are bruised and broken masterpieces
but we did not paint ourselves
-switchfoot, the economy of mercy, learning to breathe
let's learn to listen to others
let's learn to be attentive to the burdens of others
let's learn to be sensitive to the pain n hurts of others
after all, we're family.
have we focused too much on the outside n reaching out
that we have neglected the needs of our own?
let us love n support n help one another
let us ask n care n pray for one another
let us also remember to look inwards as we continue to look outwards
sharing is important
after all, we are family.
this shall serve as a reminder to myself.

an image
a heart that is fragile
buried under many layers of the world
wrapped in stone, harden, calcified
a cry
strip away the layers ive built around this heart of mine
chisel away at the stone that is ever so hard
n Lord, beneath is
a heart that longs for You,
a heart that loves You,
a heart that runs after You,
a heart that wants to serve You,
a heart that BEATS for You
-intermission-
a prayer
You said You are able to keep me from falling
so keep me from falling, God
You are my everything
nothing and no one can take Your place
nothing and no one is more important than You
nothing and no one can compare to You
keep me from falling.
i need to hear Your voice
i need to know Your thoughts, Your will, Your way.
i need You.
a question
'if I asked you to give him up, would you?'
a struggle
give him up? what? why?
but...but... didnt You tell me he's the one?
n i waited... im still waiting...
why would You want me to give him up?
a reminder
'take a look at abraham and his son, isaac.
the promised son he waited so long for.
at the very moment I asked,
abraham was willing to give him up for Me.
are you willing to give him up for Me?'
some doubts
can i be like abraham?
can i give him up?
but at the end, You provided the sacrifice
abraham didnt have to give isaac up after all
You were just testing him
You are just testing me, yes?
i wouldnt really have to give him up, would i?
You will come through, yes?
a silent moment
a kind of desperation
if i gave him up, You wouldnt really take him away, would You?
it was You who first gave... why...?
dont be silent...
please... speak...
i need to hear Your voice
another reminder
'nothing else and no one else... remember?
check yourself.
has he become so dear to you
that even if I demanded,
you wouldnt give him up?'
a surrender
You are right.
nothing else n no one else.
if You asked it of me, i will give him up.
nothing else n no one else is more precious to me than You are
let nothing else and no one else ever take Your place
i will have no other gods before You
all that i am n all that i have
i lay them down at Your feet
take all of me
i surrender to You
i will die to myself
You must increase, i must decrease
make me the person You want me to be
remind me all the time, God
keep me from falling, Lord
i love You
n i want You
n i need You
a reassurance
'I love you.
I love the way you worship Me.'
a realization
thats all that matters.
another reassurance
'the time will come when it's right.'
a conclusion
thank You.
You are indescribable.
im in awe of You.
:)

a call
embrace the cross
a song sung
so i'll cherish the old rugged cross
till my trophies at last i lay down
i will cling to the old rugged cross
and exchange it someday for a crown
the call
embrace the cross
another song sung
o the wonderful cross
o the wonderful cross
bids me come and die
and find that i
may truly live
o the wonderful cross
o the wonderful cross
all who gather here
by grace draw near
and bless Your name
the confession
i will lay down
all my treasures,
all that i hold dear,
all that i deem precious
at Your feet
i will die to myself
i will embrace the cross
an observation
good friday was good
in Christ alone i place my trust
and find my glory in the power of the cross
in every victory
let it be said of me
my source of strength
my source of hope
is Christ alone
omg. i got cool rods! thank youuu... so happie... heee~
