Lord Keep My Heart, Open and Soft Toward You..

Lord, keep my heart, open and soft toward You
Lord, draw my eyes, to see nothing else but You

What ever may happen
I know You want to gain my heart.
Though i may not understand
Just keep dispensing into my every part

Make me a believer,
By looking at You,
Standing on Your Word,
Faithful and true.

**This is ONE of my favourite Hymn**
~just want to share it with you all~

Our dear SSB's b'day... enjoyed having dinner together at Pizza Hut.. however, stella couldn't make it.. she had 2 upcoming exams.. :(
It's alright, we'll still haf chances to come together.. it looks so nice to see the oneness though.. that we're not together by our natural self but according to the oneness of the Triune God~ Lord, gain us to remain in this oneness with all the other saints so that we can testify to others Your unique Body ~!

Our Concept of Value

you know, juz now after aikido practice a fren asked us to have supper together...

Fren A: hey, later wana haf supper together? (in chinese)

Me: nolar..we hafta go for prayer meeting

Fren B: how cum u always go for meeting d?? dun wan join us d... dun give us face? :P

Me: (thinking to myself... if there's no meeting tonight, i'd join u... but d last time i joined you.. u guyz talked and talked for one hour plus.. and i even had an upcoming exam that time... i'd rather go for meeting since i can gain more of Christ ~ :P)

i bet u also experienced that before, right sis? but during just now's prayer meeting, i was touched by the saint's prayers... that we have to change our concept of value.. that left me thinking, if i were to choose between my friends and my Lord, i'd definitely choose the Lord... but then again, the Lord shone on me once more. What if, i were to choose between my parents and the Lord? Who would i choose?

Matt 10:37a 'He who loves father or mother above Me is not worthy of Me;....'

I need the Lord to really change my concept of value... that i may truly know the supreme preciousness of Christ and treasure His presence within me..

The Christian Life and its Sufferings

In His suffering life, the Lord was a man of prayer..

He was a man who was one with God.
He was a man who lived in the presence of God without ceasing.
He was a man who trusted in God and not in Himself, under any kind of suffering and persecution.
He was a man in whom Satan, the ruler of the world, had nothing (no ground, no chance, no hope, and no possibility in anything)

Lord, gain me to be one who is one with You, never ceasing to live in Your presence, to trust in You whole-heartedly, never in myself... Lord, i love You...

A hymn i enjoy.. love the meaning..

Take time to behold Him,
Speak oft with Thy Lord,
Abide in Him always,
And feed on His Word.
Wait thou in His presence,
Submissive and meek,
Forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek.

Take time to behold Him,
The world rushes on;
Spend much time in secret
With Jesus alone.
By looking to Jesus,
Like Him thou shalt be;
Thy friends, in thy conduct,
His likeness shall see.

Take time to behold Him,
Let Him be thy guide;
And run not before Him
Whatever betide;
In joy or in sorrow,
Still follow thy Lord,
And, looking to Jesus,
Still trust in His Word.

Take time to behold Him,
Be calm in thy soul,
Each thought and each temper
Beneath His control.
Thus led by His Spirit
To fountains of love,
Thou then shalt be fitted
His mercy to prove.
