Amazing Love
The song… Amazing Love… It touches me deeply.
I’m forgiven, because He was forsaken.
I’m accepted, He was condemned.
Jesus said, “Go now and leave your life of sin”.
I know, God is speaking to me.
The song keeps playing in my head.
The video portrays a woman, who reflects each and every one of us, of course, including me.
Amazing love, how can it be,
That you my God would die for me?
It’s so unbelievable, yet it’s true.
I know well the feelings within me.
I think about it over and over again each day.
So do I pray about it over and over again.
But I know, I’m still not doing what I should.
If I can’t love people around me, how then can I love God?
How hard can it be, to just really love them sincerely?
When God Himself loved the whole world,
And when Jesus came for sinners like me.
Repentance is not just about confessing our sins, but to also have changes in actions.
And I know it so well, that I’m not truly doing it, despite all the prayers, despite how sorry I feel every time.
That’s why, I know that I did not repent.
But why then, can’t I let go of certain things?
Why then, am I still holding on tightly to some things, when it benefits no one.
Not being able to really love them, makes me of no difference from a murderer.
Now, I see my sins.
I thank God that He enabled me to, by giving me the wisdom.
And I hate them.
I have no other solutions, as to how to manage all these.
I feel like it’s beyond something that I can grasp at this point.

Shout to the Lord
Matthew 6:34 | So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
That's what everyone around keep telling and reminding me to do. Just do your best, and let God take care of the rest. Don't think about the outcome, just try your best on what you can do at the moment.
Philippians 4:13 | I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.
It's all about living and doing things by faith now. Reflecting on blessings God had poured on me in the past, I feel loved. God had been faithful all the while, so let nothing change our mindset about this.
Darlene Zschech, the famous worship pastor of Hillsong church, said that:
"The awesome thing about worship is that it is not temporal, it is ETERNAL PRINCIPLE".
Have you had your quiet time with God recently? If the answer is no, let's make it NOW after you read this.
Let us all shout to the LORD together!
Amen!
