LORD


Lord, you came to me and save me in my sin
I know, I found what I'm looking for
with a friend to call my own
I'll never be alone
and you my friend in me

Lord, you're always helping me here and there
I feel, I'm not worthy at all
but when I look at you
I start to praise you
Then one thing should I know
You know what's best for me

I used to say "your my God"
Now its you (the only one)
Now I know
'
Lord, most friend would turn me away
I don't see them as you do
I know they would try too
I'm sure they think again
If they had a friend like you

Like you Lord...
the only king, the prince of Peace....

I do love you


Sitting beside my window
listening to your voice
seems you really love me after all

Lord you were always there
to guide me through your will
I'd just like to let you know
I know in my heart i will always love you so

And you'll always love me
deep inside this heart of mine
I do love you
and I'll always need you
and if I ever stumble on the way
I know, you're there for me

I know you never left me
when my hearts in misery
you can fix a heart so easily

The day and night i spend
how much I pray to you
time has come for me to see
how much your love has meant to me
and you'll always love me
and if I ever stumble on the way
I know, you're there for me

Time, like a river
keeps on rollin right on by
nothing left for me to do
so i watch you shine on me....

Abundantly bless us in the end


Lord's purpose is not to diminish but to abundantly bless us in the end!

For you, O God tested us;
You refined us like silver.
You brought us into prison
and laid burdens in our backs.
You let men ride our own heads,
we went through fire and water,
but you brought us to a place of abundance
(Psalm 66:10-12)

why does God sometimes permit his people to go through "fire and water"? because he wants to enlarge our lives through his purging process. He uses delays, negative circumstances, unfair treatment, and a host of other difficulties as his works within us. How else can he secure our total trust and surrender than by the process of refining us like silver? So hold on to what God has said even though ten thousand voices tell you it's useless. Move ahead in the assignment he gave you even when you face obstacles on every hand. Never mind how difficult things are for the moment. In just a little while, God will bring you into "a place of abundance"

When we hold on to God's word, we will always witness a day when the Lord says "Now you will see what I will do!" The testing of God's word is always followed by the fulfillment of it.

Joy: Lord, Thank you for your word...I know you've been molding me into a person you want me to be. Sometimes it doesn't make sense but i rather trust and believe in you coz you know what is best for me. Thank you for your loving kindness and the joy that makes me strong. Break more my heart the things that break your heart . I know when things go wrong you will never leave me nor forsake me. I will run after you and see your beauty coz you are everything for me. I will always hold on to your words and your promises. Thank you for your promises coz i know when you promise no one can reverse it. I love you my Jesus!

Testimony


Thank you Lord for giving me the opportunity to share my testimony as a product of DVBS (daily vacation Bible School) today. It is awesome how you remind me as a child (about 6 years old ) when i join the DVBS and how you brought me out of that and become a woman you want me to be. I know im not that perfect but still im learning how to be a real woman in your eyes. Day by day i know you're more than i expected and you surprise me with beautiful thoughts and loving care that energize me to run my race until i fulfill my purpose in this world. Thank you for your unconditional love. I will not get tired serving you. I cant stop loving you coz i know you are everything i wanted. Everytime i close my eyes your beauty is in my mind and i can't stop thinking about it.

Tomorrow I will speak to my brothers and sisters about the fruit of the spirit (gentleness) and i know you are the perfect example. I know you are already ahead of me and you already prepared the hearts of your children . Thank you once again for giving me the opportunity to share your words. I know it is not easy but im humbly follow your command. May your words be evident not only to my life but for all your children who loves you and follow you to advance your kingdom. Thank you and i love you my Jesus! Let your Glory be exalted!
