Been some time since i last blogged.. or was it..? Well cant say I'm doing well in the new group. You know, things always are complicated that's why we grow. Through all the problems i face, there is only one thing that is keeping me alive. That is my faith in the truth. Now we all know that God is always with us, seeing us through our valleys. That's a truth, but here's the thing: How many times have we failed to seek God first when we come across a new problem? Eg. Bus arrival issues. (Do we pray for the bus to come soon, or do we turn to our m1 provider to tell us when it comes?) Of course, these are just small issues. When was the last time we remained in our doubt instead of seeking God for the solution? Sheep as we are, God has shown that he is patient. He is there all along, we know it, but we refuse to acknowledge that he is sovereign sometimes, don't we? We lose sight of the savior who is there with us all along, and end up bitter crying out for mercy and for an answer. Have we also forgotten to thank God for what he has done, or have we taken for granted Jesus' death on the cross? When was the last time we thanked God? Now compare it to the last time we whinned to God. I too struggle in this area whereby i have to constantly remind myself of what Jesus has done on the cross so that i will not take it for granted. It's hard.. very..
We whine sometimes also about why things arent going the way we hope, but we never sought Gods' permission or guidance in the first place. Through every valley, there are a few things we need to do to keep us alive by the end of the race.
#1 Giving Thanks to God
#2 Putting our faith in Gods' divine guidance
#3 Putting First Gods' kingdom.

It's not that i dont struggle with these issues. I'm telling you guys these because i struggle with them. So keep me accountable!

Take You Back - Jeremy Camp

The reason why I stand
The answer lies in you
You hung to make me strong
Tho my praise was few
When I fall I bring your name down

But I have found in you
A heart that bleeds
Forgiveness replacing all these thoughts of painful memories
And I know your response will always be

Chorus:
I'll take you back always
Even when your fight is over now
I'll take you back
Even when the pain is coming through
I'll take you back

You satisfy this cry of what I'm
looking for And I'll take all I can
and lay it down before
The throne of endless grace now
that radiates what's true
I'm in the only place that erases
all these faults that have overtaken me and
I know that your response will always be

(Chorus)

I can only speak with a graceful heart
As I'm pierced by this gift of your love
I will always bring an offering
I can never thank you enough

You take me back always
Even when my fight is over now
You take me back
Even when the pain is coming through
You take me back

Father in Heaven,
Thank you for what you have done on the cross 2000 years ago. Help me to be reminded of the cross wherever i go. I pray that by your grace, I will be made right with you, whatever that is in me which is not pleasing to your sight. Let my flaws be made known to me and let the divine exchange commence between me and you. Fill in where I lack, for I yearn to be a living perfect example of your perfect love and grace. Help me to live life to the fullest, and guide me in the way you guided the heroes of the bible. I repent of my sins today and ask only for your forgiveness. By the blood of Jesus, may my wretched soul be renewed in you again. Thank you my savior, in Jesus name, Amen
