Hey guys :D
I thought I'd just share about the thoughts I had today lah (:
Today in school (during Malay lesson when the teacher didn't come XD), it dawned on me about how grateful I should be for Jesus. I mean, if there was a friend -a man who could feel pain just as much as you did- who took the rap, suffered through everything, and died for you just so you could be saved... Wouldn't you be immensely grateful? I would be in utter disbelief for all eternity lah. I think I've been taking Him for granted. Am determined to love Him more each day ^^
I found this song really encouraging as well (:
"What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.
Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer.
Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge, take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield you; you will find a solace there.
Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised Thou wilt all our burdens bear
May we ever, Lord, be bringing all to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright unclouded there will be no need for prayer
Rapture, praise and endless worship will be our sweet portion there."
Carrying On
The road ahead is dark and gloomy,
The path we take is narrow.
Already we are cold and weary,
In fear and doubt we wallow.
But look towards that light at the end,
Waiting for us, guiding our way.
And feel the warmth from round the bend.
Embracing us throughout the day.
Therefore, we are
Carrying on,
As Soldiers for Him
Carrying on,
Feeling tired but strong
Carrying on,
Through joy and weeping
Carrying on,
No matter how long
Carrying on,
Holding back nothing
Carrying on,
As Soldiers for Him
Disappointments come our way,
Everything is breaking down.
Hurts and troubles seem to stay,
There seems to be no way round.
But look towards His arms at the end.
Waiting for us, guiding our way.
And feel the love from round the bend.
Embracing us throughout the day.
Therefore, we are
Carrying on,
As Soldiers for Him
Carrying on,
Though something’s wrong
Carrying on,
Hopeless but trusting
Carrying on,
Past the saddest songs
Carrying on,
Without complaining
Carrying on,
As Soldiers for Him
At the end of everything,
13 people will stand.
Our arms and hearts all strongly linked,
Walking forward hand in hand.
Surrounded by His light,
Embraced by His arms,
Feeling His warmth,
Overwhelmed with His love,
Which had been waiting for us, guiding our way
And embracing us throughout our days.
Therefore, we are
Carrying on,
As Soldiers for Him
Carrying on,
Feeling tired but strong
Carrying on,
Through joy and weeping
Carrying on,
No matter how long
Carrying on,
Holding back nothing
Carrying on,
Though something’s wrong
Carrying on,
Hopeless but trusting
Carrying on,
Past the saddest songs
Carrying on,
Without complaining
Carrying on,
Oh yes, we’re carrying on,
We’re carrying on,
As Soldiers for Him
