At peace within
What restores our faith in God?
What reveals the Father's love?
What can lead the wayward home?
What can melt a heart of stone?
What can free the guilty ones?
What can save and overcome?
With questions, God gave me the answer I was seeking.
He is whom I have chosen to follow.
He won me over with His overwhelming love and grace. It really befuddles and sometimes even frustrates me. How is it
possible that anyone can have so much authority and yet grace at the same time? With one breath, He has the power to take away my life as easily as He gave it. But it's the truth, and an amazingly fact. Jesus is the Creator of heaven and earth, and also the same person who died to save us. But we can't see this truth with our own strength, no matter how hard we strain.
What has God saved me from?
Eternal torment and pain in hell; a place where there is going to be no rescuing, no respite, no hope. My soul, the true essence of me, is what's been saved and has a sure hope in God and the place He has prepared for me.
I'm rebuilding what came crumbling down in an instance.
But this time, I am the one building and I will not allow anyone else to build it for me. (:
Living for someone, to me it means having my eyes always set on that person. No matter what, my gaze is fixed surely and does not have a reason to waver.
This is what I learnt today on the bus ride to school.
I didn't even pray but God knows every thought that runs through my mind.
I will remember;
How all my thoughts that were darting wildly, pulling my emotions and resolutions behind , fell to the ground and laid still the moment my eyes laid sight on it. It was like a revelation. I saw my purpose, my hope and my direction all at once in that instance. The fact that it was him made the greatest difference in the world. If it were anyone else, I would have turned away with weary eyes. Even though I didn't see him, the message couldn't have been any louder.
I'm so glad that my God is everywhere. *(^_^)*
