` amazing grace



the above video, is very nice, please watch.

the lyrics of the song are even nicer..

Amazing grace How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now I'm found Was blind, but now I see

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed

My chains are gone I've been set free

My God, my Savior has ransomed me And like a flood His mercy rains

Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures

He will my shield and portion beAs long as life endures

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow

The sun forbear to shine But God, Who called me here below

Will be forever mine

Will be forever mine

You are forever mine

As we sung this song in church today, it sent shivers up and down my body the entire song. i just wanted to dwell in the presence of God for longer and longer..... the words spoke to my heart and i was instantly captured and drawn by its lyrics.

how amazing is God's grace, that he decided to save each and every one of us? what a wretch i am, but yet He chose to forgive me... sometimes i think i forget about the grace of God going on in my daily life, i become so indulged in worldy matters, and sinful acts, that i forget the grace of God... i forget that i am not on this earth for eternity, i forget many tings...... i have to keep reminding my self, that i am not going to be here for ever, i am indeed goin to spend eternity with Him up in heaven. why is it so, that we hold on so tightly to the things of the world, when we should be holding much more tightly to the things of eternity? why is it so that we dislike some people and wish horrible things on them, or that we are not satisfied with our lifes, that we are always wanting that little bit more. why cant we just be satisfied wit the life God has placed in our hands?

every day is a battle, a struggle, - especially monday. haha, but i wish it not to be. i wish every day to be a joyful and happy day, where i can just seek God whole heartedly. i'm far from perfect and i find it so challenging to even sit down for 20 or 30 minutes and spend time with God. it is my hearts desire to spend time with Him, to make time for Him... to fellowship with Him and His people even. i wish to be a person who does not complain so much, and i wish to be a person who does not slander or gossip about others. i wish to be a person who does not have impure thoughts. and all these and so much more, but i know one day they will all come to pass, becos by His Grace i am saved.

to Live a life for Jesus, is everything

At the end of the day, your car, your house, your money, your clothes, all these will not be brought into heaven. i want to live with no regrets, i dont want to be sad, or depressed, or unhappy with situations or people in my life - i want to look past all that, and look to the greater picture.

i fall, i continously fall, i say i want to change, and banish all these bad habits, these sins in my life, but i fall.. and i continue to fall, i keep falling and i know that i will still fall, but indeed i am reminded of a sentance in the sermon that really struck a chord in my heart.

' God's grace is not a licence to sin'.

sometimes, we just take for granted God's grace, we know its there and we know He will always forgive us when we continue to sin..... but do we sin purposely knowing that He will forgive us? or are we really really sorry that we've sinned? i think i am such a sinful person that it will be so hard to not sin time and time again, but i know that i will do my best to not commit the same sin over and over. sinful in nature, the devil knows my weakness and always strikes me light lightening and thunder. been a christian does not mean been perfect, but wit God's help, we are moulded to become more like Him.

you are my Portion. my deliverer. my strong hold in times of trouble.

its you i will seek, when times are bleak

and when i'm feeling so weak

Its you i turn to, and its you whom i want to meet

the devil i will defeat

because you o Lord, make me feel complete.
