choose this day will you listen and obey?

FAITH IS NEEDED. When He takes something good, and promises

"for I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me and I will hear you. You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you, declares the Lord, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which i sent you into exile."


Lord, am i in exile?
I have no choice but to let go!

It is not something that i want.
it never was in my plan.

Selfish i may have been on occasions, self serving have i lapsed.
but my commitment has always been to it.

Maybe too much, till it became idolatry.

I don't want to bury it.
I don't want to accept the fact that i need to give my life.
and that was my life.

Whoever loses his life for my sake will gain it, whoever gains his life will lose it, says my Lord.

It's His promise.

Like in Heb 6, Abraham walked because God promised.
He lived such dynamic life, only because GOD PROMISED.
people recognised him as a man of God and gave him what he wanted.

Lord i want that kind of life.

I don't to give up,
But i have to.

Sometimes before we come to the joyful place of 'i Get to', we have to go thru the 'i have to', ' i got to.'
And now i have to.
As of now, 'i have to' is the impetus.

a wise man, weilii, once said, "change will come when the pain of not changing exceeds the pain of change itself."

I have to.

It was 4 joyous years.
but i have to.
i don't want this to happen.
but i have to.

I have to buck up, as Uncle David chided me countless times in his honed, refined communication skills.

I am blessed.
I am helped.

No longer helpless i am, but helped i am.

"in Him my heart trusts, and i am helped." ~ps 28:7

Thank You for a good, nurturing workplace.
I need that before i go on to the real performance world.
At least now i am helped.

At level -10, i have alot to do when i should be at level 24.
while my friends are at level 24, and some reaching their destiny already at level 90, i at level -10, have LOTS, LOTS to do!

Fuji told us,
the glory of the LORD shines on us like the sun. Our head is still receiving the sunshine.
but because the sun shines, a shadow will be casted.

we can walk backwards away from the sun, and stare at the shadow.
The shadow will then overwhelm, and the world will be bleak, but only in our eyes.
Because it overwhelms us, we can start exalting it, and worshipping it.
The sun is STILL shining, but we are exalting the shadow.
Because our eyes are fixed on the shadow.

or we can choose to bask and enjoy the sun.
we don't deny that there is a shadow, but we live free from exalting the shadow. cuz we are meant to enjoy the sun.

That's his analogy for Once saved always saved.

how often do we focus on the shadow, when the sun is greater and surrounds us like everywhere?
all we see is the shadow, all we see is the blackness of the shadow, and with it, deceive ourselves that there is no light, all is black, i am a sinner, a sinner, a sinner, a sinner, a lousy sinner, a lousy sinner.
by basking in the sun, we don't deny our sinfulness, but we are declaring, that it is better to walk in the light. 1john 1:5

"Everybody Get Walkin'
By Jana Alayra.

Everybody get walkin'
Walkin' in the light,
in every little space, and every little minute of our lives,
Everybody get Livin'
Livin' more like Him,
to let the whole world know
HE HAS FORGIVEN ALL OUR SIN!

5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

Choose this day, will you listen and obey
Choose what''s right, Get walkin' in the light
Choose this day will you listen and obey,
Choose what's right, Get walkin' in the light,
JESUS IS THE LIGHT!"


Such depth in a children song.
Such poignancy in a children dance song.

Lord,
i love You more than that.
help me Lord.
It is hard to sing I surrender All, because i loved that so much.
I still want that back, but Lord, help me!

choose this day, will you listen and obey?
