Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

Brokenness -
1. Removes the consciousness of Self
2. Releases God's Presence
3. Realizes Power of God
As I was sitting there listening to Pastor's message, I found it really familiar. Where have I heard it from? "The Beatitudes: Christian Character & Conduct." I do not know how many have been broken, I can say that I have been, but I'm not there yet. As you can see...there are still ALOT of 'I' in this blog. No, there is nothing wrong with that cause my blog should also reflect my life too.
Yet, I was just doing some reflection at that point of time. Me, when was the last time God break me? When was it? Pain is not the 1st thing that we normally ask for and definitely not a fun thing to go through...
I certainly pray that I will never be like the Pharisee, proud at heart. Start recognising our spiritual poverty, so that the Rule & Reign of God can be establish in our lives.
Luke 18:9-14
9To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: 10"Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. 11The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. 12I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.'13"But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.'14"I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted."
It actually brought me to think of my upcoming race as well, back to the very basic, what do I run for? I seriously pray that I will be focused on what the Lord has set me to go through during this race, not about myself nor my own accomplishment but ALL of God's goodness in my life.
When I have nothing, when I am nothing, that's when I can truly rely of my Heavenly Father.Life is a journey that when God brings challenges into my life, I will have teachability, taking what I learn through the truth of God to bring conviction into my life and builds my character.
I thank God for the life I have, I pray that it will be a life that will speak of Him.
2 Corinthians 3:1-3
1Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? 2You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. 3You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
