YOU

To be like You, is I want Lord

To be like You, is what I ask for

To be like You, is what Im longing for

coz at the end of the road, this is what will remain...

To love like You, is what I want Lord

To love like You, is what I ask for

To love like You, is what Im longing for

coz at the end of the day, this is what will remain...

YOU, are what I want Lord

YOU, are what I ask for

YOU, are what Im longing for

coz at the end of the day, this is what will remain...

...you.

If only I could sing this honestly, with pure intentions. Some days I can. Although, some days I can't.

To be like Him, to love like Him, what an honour. If only I could swallow my pride, ditch my prejudice and actually love like Him.

Coz at the end of the day, He will reamain, not material possessions, not the world, not me, but Him.

* Song: "You" by Rebecca St. James

Lately

It never ceases to amaze me how, when our trust in placed in Him, and when everything seems to go so horribly wrong, somehow things turn out so much more amazing than they would have if our own selfish plans went ahead as we planned.

But in saying this, it never ceases to amaze me how frustrated I get, how upset and angry I get, how abusive I get time and time again when things dont go my way, even though I've seen His work so often in my own life and in the lives of those around me.

I can say things like "it's okay, God's in control and I trust that everything turn out fine" and "this doesnt worry me at all, God will make everything better" but in reality, Im human and what Im saying and what Im really thinking are two very different things.

So why then does God continue to love me, to comfort me, to guide me and to provide for me? Im not lovable, Im not even close to perfect, Im disgustingly human, yet He doesnt give up, doesnt let go of me.

God's unfailing, never ending, unconditional love for me, just as I am, through my faults and constant failures, through my weaknesses and mistakes, through my anger and abuse never ceases to amaze me.

He, the creator of the universe and everything that exsists in it, the Son of God, loves me.

How exciting is that?!
