"oh soul are you weary and troubled? no light in the darkness you see? there's light for a look at the Savior, and life more abundant and free! Turn you ey-es upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face; and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace"
i am tired
why is it that u have to cut me with ur words why is it that u have disappointed me and gone back in ur words why is it that i have the burden for the YA and stepped down from worship min why is it that i have to disappoint you and go back on my promises...hurt you instead of protecting you.
why is it i feel that ur words affect me so much? why is it that i dun feel attached to my committee? why do i feel as though i've lost the ability?
why do i feel i've forsaken you, O lord why is it that i have no guts and strength to face you, O lord you said u will never forsake me and never leave me. why then do i feel i haven't seen you heard you refreshed by you?
for the things of the world is full of deceptions, temptations and lies... why do i have to feel the way i feel, even when i know u are in full control. why is it that i have no guts to surrender to you what i haven't fully surrendered.
i feel down, out, restless. i feel bogged down. YA, roller coaster ride, unresolved issues...
auntie carol, it's a tough question... auntie janet, i feel touched by ur call and the way u encouraged ps edwin, i am ashamed to see u
i knew of Corrinne May when i heard one of her songs from her second album... the one which she had to fight with monster from outter space...and also when the people around you can be an angel in disguise... I begin to appreciate her songs, its musicality and the off course very much touched by most...some of you may recall songs like the birthday song, same side of the moon, if you didn't love me, etc Although you can pick up her style after a while, i think she writes from her heart and i thank God that her music and songs are well-received by people of various cultures, ethnicity and ages. I did write about one of her songs... safe in a crazy world...that was one song that i took a liking the very first time i played her CD.
with that, i was motivated to write a devotion for a retreat.
and i believed it was inspired...
I like to share with whoever is reading this...
We ought to submit all our troubles, amibitions, dreams, desires and plan to God who is in control, in charge of everything. We have the retreat at the point of time when some of us are going to have tests and quizzes, challenges and assignments is to remind ourselves that our God is a One who never shortchange us.
We might be experiencing struggles, humiliation, discomfort in the our vocation (who says young adults are not stressed up!), and Jesus reminds us to rest in Him, to rest our Hearts... to realign our eyes back to Him.
Some of us are skeptical and be 'less' faithful, but Jesus is forever faithful and He blesses us more than what we can ever imagine...even more when we entrust our daily acitvities to Him, when we lift up our prayers to Him. It is not an easy task. No more said this Christianity thingy is smooth sailing- but our rewards are in Heavens, for eternity.
We might feel less confident in ourselves, in our abilities, in our talents, in effort- whether or not things are gonna work in MY way.
Jesus who turned water into wine, who healed the blind, who raised the dead, who walked on water, who fed the thousands with 5 bread and 2 fishes can do all things.
Would you like to learn to surrender all things to Jesus? Do you want to rest in Him? Have you have no faith in Him?
think about it... rest in it.
there are more songs... like '33', 'beautiful seed'... that are worth the listen.
