What is Love?

I am reminded once again of what love is.

"Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." ~ 1 Cor 13:4-7

My mind goes "check, check, oops, oops" as I go through the list. How many times have I become unloving? Hmmm, I would say many. High on my list will be "does not seek its own" - aha. the auto-habitual selfish self always want the convenient and easy way out. It almost always grumble over small inconvenient things.

The other one would be "endures all things". Not an easy one huh? Especially with folks that you are adverse to, and circumstances that may make you less loving.

A very important character of love is "it does not take into account a wrong suffered". Many times a great many Christians have stumbled and fallen away because of this. It is difficult for someone who is hurt not to take into account a wrong suffered. The anger, the hurt, the pain and the bitterness demand an apology. It gave the one who has suffered the right to an apology. This is not wrong.

The problem is that many a times, the apology is not given. The hurt party demands an apology but doesn't get it. So the person gets even more upset and kept waiting for that apology to come but it never happened. Slowly, but surely, bitterness eat his life away. Is it therefore so hard to not take into account a wrong suffered? Yes it is. But Jesus teach us it is possible, and He did just that for us.

Remember my friends. Love does not take into account a wrong suffered. It is tough, but it gives life - both to yourself and the perpetrator. It is a choice you have to make. Love is a choice. Jesus chose to die for us. You and I have chosen to live for Him. So let's live for Him by loving Him, and loving your neighbours as yourselves. Dropped that wrong suffered. Love your enemies and bless them(Luke 6:27-28). And you shall see that Love never fails (1 Cor 13:8).

East Timor Reflection no.2

"What do the people need or want?" - this is probably the no.1 question on most people's mind when they have been to East Timor and thinking how to help the people. The needs are many - for some, it's daily food. for some, it is education. and for others, work and a steady income. "How do we solve all these problems?" - Wrong question. Although some people might have the perception that Timorese in general are quite a laidback people, I've seen examples that beg to differ.

I've met brilliant Timorese. And I've met brilliant Timorese youth with a never-say-die attitude and they made it through tough times. So what's the right question? I would say - "How do they solve all these problems?". And believe me, I think they are able to. If we would humble ourselves, learn from them and aid them along, and work together with them.

The other part of our world has so much resources that we are not utilizing them to the fullest. There are many needs that we can help meet with our resources, but which one comes first? I personally feel that education is the priority. Not the usually assumed academic education where one thinks that with some form of paper, they can find a decent job and live well. Come on, with 40% unemployment, what can a piece of paper do?

If you have read the book, "The book that transforms nations" by Loren Cunningham, you will know what I mean. Social skills, healthy habits, problem solving skills, working as a team, leadership skills, taking care of one’s body, moral values, conflict resolution, spiritual disciplines, godly character & development and so on as Education. It covers every aspect of a growing child and a growing adult into fuller maturity and wisdom. But besides all these good stuff, I realised after reading the book that you have to have God involved. Who's going to teach radical things like "Love your enemies? Bless those who cursed you? Consider others better than yourself? Look to the interest of others?"

If a person will have that, and willingly do it because he loves God, that'll do it. Lives will be transformed. Society will be transformed. There will be no poor people. There will be food for everyone. Our earlier questions will be answered. There will be peace in Timor. There will be prosperity.

Until then, let us change our mindsets about our Timorese friends and about ourselves. We're not in anyway smarter or greater. We're just privileged to be born and bred in a country that God has placed you and I in. And yes, you and I have a part to play in the transformation of lives. Tell them God's love. Teach them by living godly lives. God will answer your question, and theirs in due time.

East Timor Reflection no.1

    

Dinner with Aussie friends at Gleno - Orphanage founder, water project co-ordinator, educationalist, English trainer, community project manager, handyman. (the ladies are preparing food in kitchen)


 At Mary McKillop East Timor - Tetun Literacy Programme, Marungi(Moringa)workshops, compassionate care, sponsorships, justice advocacy, health education

This trip has been an eventful one. Besides losing my trail in climbing Mt.Ramelau, the other exciting aspect of this trip would be the no. of contacts and knowledge I have gained about those who are working in East Timor and for East Timor.

Even though my visit was only a short one week, God had used me to link up people and to share information with those on the field. I am glad I was of some use to those on the ground. However, there are some thoughts that lingered at the back of my mind after these encounters.

"Are we intentionally spending time to find out the good work that others are doing? Even if they are not Christians. Do we make an effort to know them? Or even to humble ourselves and learn from them?"

"Are we caught up in a "I want to do it on my own" mentality? or are we able to join/partner/support existing programs that are already running so that we do not waste resources? (and have an open door to share the good news with them as well)"

"Are we connected only through a Christian network? How about connecting with other workers and NGOs (even if they are not Christians)? Are we that exclusive (or seem to be that exclusive)?"

"Why are we not partnering or working with other groups? Is it because we failed to see that joining them (and in the process be a witness to them) is much more effective than getting them to cross over the barriers to join us? Or is it because the rigid institutional structure does not permit us to do so?"

These questions certainly makes me feel frustrated, and especially so when I am not in Timor. Perhaps it is because I've seen similar things like this happen in Cambodia, in Timor and even in Singapore. The followers of Jesus must stop being exclusive amongst themselves, and amongst other people. No church belongs to itself, and no members belong to his own church alone. All belong to Christ and are in Christ. You and I are the body - whether you're a full time worker or not. We must break out of our 'exclusive' mould.

My conclusion: The need to spend time with people who are doing a great job in Timor - Christians or not - is necessary. We better go with a humble heart or fail trying.

Manhood and Purity

Excerpt from the book, "Every Man's Battle" by Stephen Arterburn & Fred Stoeker with Mike Yorkey

"God's definition of real manhood is pretty simple: It means hearing His word and doing it. That's God's only definition of manhood-a doer of the Word."

"Men receive a chemical high from sexually charged images - a hormone called epinephrine is secreted into the bloodstream, which locks into the memory whatever stimulus is present at the time of the emotional excitement."

"Your purity must not depend upon your mate's heath or desire. God holds you responsible, and if you don't gain control before your wedding day, you can expect it to crop up after the honeymoon."

"You see, sexual impurity isn't like a tumor growing out of control inside us. We treat it that way when our prayers focus on deliverance, as we plead for someone to come remove it. Actually sexual impurity is a series of bad decisions on our part - a result of immature character - and deliverance won't deliver you into instant maturity. Character work needs to be done."

"God will run with you, but He won't run for you. It's time to plunge ahead and go like a man."

I've learned a lot from this book. Every guy should grab it and read it - you'll be surprised by the honesty in it, and biblical, practical ways in dealing with the battles every man faced - battles with sexual lusts, thoughts & temptations. Being a male does not give us guys the excuse to say we are easily stimulated by what we see. A real man deals with it and gives no room for sexually charged images to enter through his eyes.

So as the author says, go at it like a man and shape up one's character and maturity even before the wedding day arrives. It's gonna be a daily battle - so let's fight it like a man.

Reflection on America's Got Talent - Las Vegas Top 40

Wow. For a while, I thought it was the final round of America's Got Talent. If you've caught tonight's show, you will understand what I am talking about.

All the contestants are getting emotional and sang like their life depended on it. They were totally sold out on winning, on going all the way to the final round, and finishing the race.

They were many broken hearts, and they were also many delighted souls. Those who went on to the next round were tearing, and crying, and embracing each other.

"This is the most fantastic day of my life," quips one contestant. Another one exclaimed in delight, "We have made it!". And we're only talking about going to the next round of Top 40

It amazes me. What would you and I say on the day we go to heaven? "This is the most fantastic day of my life"? "We have made it"? Or will you be heaving a sigh of relief thinking that you could be missing out? OR will you be like the others who were crying uncontrollably and shaking their heads in disbelief? They didn't make it to the next round. They didn't make it to heaven.

Will we be like the contestants who are TOTALLY sold out to the cause? To win, to go on to the next round, to reach the final and finished it? A 1 million dollars man-made competition can propel people to such a dizzy height, what more an infinite God-made mission? But are we totally sold out to His cause, or are we like the audiences who only sit back, vote and dream?

It puts me to shame. And it puts us to shame. That people chasing after earthly riches can be so totally consumed by their cause while we who claimed to be His followers are not running after Him by an even crazier zeal!

Yes, the show might have given the full impact by clever filming and editing - still, I believe the contestants are totally in it. And I, who claimed to be His, better be in it for His cause.

Christians' Got Talent - and we better start using it for what is worth more than 1 million dollars and all the fame in the world.

Lean on Jesus, Lean on me

This is a great song. It gives me hope, and it reminds me to follow Jesus. To be able to offer my shoulder and say, "here's my shoulder you can lean on me". The children and youth of today are facing tough times in the world. Reading their blogs only seems to magnify the burden and need.

So what can I do Lord? How can I help them? I've got nothing but my prayers. And my shoulder. So my young friends, here's my shoulder you can lean on me.

And may the poor and weak find your shoulders too.

Sons of God

"You are ALL sons of God through faith IN Christ Jesus, for ALL of you who were baptized INTO Christ have clothed yourselves WITH Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are ALL ONE IN Christ Jesus" - Gal 3:26-28

What a powerful verse. And what a revelation of who we are in Christ Jesus. Those who believe in Jesus are all sons of God. ALL. All are brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ - no race, no status, no gender matters anymore. All are ONE in Christ.

All believers are sons of God. We have this huge family living all around the world. But are we behaving like how family members ought to treat each? Or are we strangers, and worse, enemies?

Why is it so difficult for people to reconcile? And why is it so difficult to accept the mistakes of others? You are ALL sons of God! Let me repeat "YOU are ALL sons of GOD!" Can we not look beyond the errors and follies of our brothers? Can we not forgive? You are ALL sons of God my friends! Why should Coffee time be awkward and impossible? Let's have a meal together, for we are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

Gal 3:28 for the modern day - "There is neither denomination nor institution, yours nor mine, fiery charismatic nor silent conservative, for WE are ALL ONE in CHRIST JESUS" Amen.


Together as a family with Jesus.

Is Christian Hip Hop Ok?

The song was written 2 years ago before the movie, The Passion of Christ. They put clips of this movie as the backdrop. What do you think of Christian Hip Hop/Rap? I think if properly used, it's just way cool.

P.S. Watching this video reminded me once again how much Jesus had to go through to redeem me. With tears in my eyes, I come in awe before Him once again. Thank you Jesus.

Sadness, Discouragement and Hope

Emotions is a mystery. It's a gift from God, yet it can be abused and tear us down. Some people say I am emotionless - that would be furthest from the truth. I think I appear emotionless because I figure certain things are not worth getting emotional about. Oh, but I do tear when I feel for something worth tearing. And sometimes, emotion is not something you and I can control.

So it happened before a certain meeting that I was feeling discouraged. That is quite strange because that discouragement appeared out of nowhere. Thank God for group prayers that releases God's word to encourage and affirm. But what do I understand from this? One thing's for sure: The devil is on the prowl.

It is very sad that close friendships are being torn apart by careless words and mistrust. 10 over years of friendship could not withstand the enemy's lie? Oh God. We need your eyes. It is very sad that when people act out of goodwill, they get lambasted for 'taking sides'; and when they try to cool situations down by giving space, they got accused of being uncaring. It is even sadder that genuine friendships built over the years would self-destruct because of a change of place or status. Can a change of place or status wipe off the memories of a friendship that once had so much life and fun? No!

So what am I ranting about down here? I'm talking about hope. "Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us" ~ Romans 5:3-5

Yes, hope keeps us going. This hope that does not disappoint us keep us going. Who have sadness and yet I don't? Who have discouragements and hurts and yet your friends don't? You are not the only one my friend.

A friend's baby died before the baby see daylight. Does it hurt? A friend gave up his dream of going to the field by staying for another 2 years. Does it hurt? A friend suffers at work and yet go about diligently doing her work. Does it hurt? Oh yes it does. And we are not alone in this hurting world. But we have a Hope.

Hope for the day when a new-born baby shall walk and talk. Hope for the day when the field will be imprinted with footprints that bring good news. Hope for the day when the rewards will not be earthly rewards but heavenly rewards for those found faithful.

I am sad and discouraged with what is happening. But yet I will not break. Why? Because I have a hope. And hope will not disappoint me. Because my hope is in Him who has poured out his love for me. You are not alone. Hope in God, and live.

The Devil's Take on Evangelism

Excerpt from "The Great Commission Lifestyle - Part One: Spiritual Warfare" by Robert E.Coleman

"Nowhere will the satanic attack become more determined than in evangelism. Knowing that his kingdom of darkness is threatened, the devil seeks to remove the good seed of the gospel (Matt 13:19); he sows seeds of discord (Matt 13:38, 39); he blinds the eyes of unbelievers (2 Cor 4:4).

Make no mistake about it. Turning people "from the power of Satan to God" involves mortal combat with the evil one (Acts 26:18). Every advance of the gospel will have to be won by conquest.

The conspiracy of evil has infiltrated all the power structures of society, including governments, schools, business conglomerates, social agencies, even the organized church.

No institution fallen creatures have developed escapes the enemy's cunning. Working through misguided subjects and systems of this world and using whatever devious means expedient - slander, intrigue, deceit, rebellion, betrayal, intimidation, and infliction of torture - the devil seeks to destroy the work of Christ.

But we need not fear the fury of the adversary. Greater is He who lives in the saints than the manipulator of the world (1 John 4:4). Jesus has all the authority, not Satan. The time is hastening when all the powers of this age shall be put under His feet (Matt 22:44; Acts 2:35; Heb 1:13, 10:13). If then Christ is for us, who can be against us? In Him we are more than conquerors. (Rom 8:31, 37)

Disciples of the cross engage the enemy in this assurance of victory. The church of God, like an undefeatable army, will at last shatter the strongholds of Satan and storm the gates of hell."

Trust in God, not man

Excerpt from "Of The Imitation of Christ - Book 2, Admonitions Pertaining to Inward Things - Chapter 1: The Inward Life" by Thomas à Kempis.

"When you have Christ, you are rich, and have enough. He Himself will be your provider and faithful steward in all things, so that you need not trust in men.

For men soon change, and quickly fail; but "Christ abideth forever" (John 12:34) and stands by us firmly unto the end. There is no great trust to be put in a frail and mortal man (Jer 17:5), even though he be profitable and dear unto us.

Neither ought we to be much grieved if sometimes he cross and contradict us. They that today are with you, tomorrow may be against you; and often again they turn around like the wind.

Put all your trust in God (1 Peter 5:7), let Him be your fear and your love. He Himself shall answer for you, and will do in all things what is best for you."

Striking a Balance in our Views and Distribution of Workers

I was just thinking through this. Does it make someone greater if he works full time in a church? Does it count for more than someone who work in the marketplace? I think the answer is a plain NO.

For those of you who are not working as a full time church worker, consider it a privilege that the harvest field is ripe before you. Waiting for you to sow seeds, waiting for you to reap the harvest. Who has a bigger list of friends and colleagues who do not know the Lord? I am very sure it is you who are working in the marketplace. So consider it a privilege to have this field before you, and serve the Lord faithfully in it and touch lives.

To full time workers: The day when you say you do not have anyone to evangelise to anymore will be the saddest day in your life. Do not be deceived into using your environment as an excuse for a lack of contacts. The streets are full of people who do not know the Lord. Pray for divine contacts and continue to reach out. Touch base again.

Whether we work in the church or in the marketplace, we must always remember that there are people still waiting for us to preach the good news to them. And we have a mandate to tell them the good news and to live out the good news.

What troubles me most is not the bias view of full-time church vocation looking more spiritual and superior than marketplace work, but the great imbalance of human resources. Every mission field that I have been to, I always hear the same thing - there is not enough cross-cultural workers. The ratio is way too imbalance. This is not always the fault of churches not sending, but also missionaries not training and raising up local leaders. But often, we have a problem of either sending, going or both. No wonder the bible tells us to 'ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out his workers into his harvest field' (Matt 9:38)

So I really pray that God will help us to live our lives more purposefully for Him. To love Him and to love our neighbours as ourselves. "Send more workers into your harvest field Lord. Many are still waiting for your good news. Let me be one of those who are sent. Amen.

God knows who's right and who's wrong. You follow Him

Think you know the truth? Sometimes it is very easy to be caught up in the words of man and believe with certainty a certain matter until you discover the other side of the story. Who then will you believe in? I believe no one will ever really know the truth of a human-mixed-up-complicated-and-messy matter unless we ourselves are God. God knows the intention, God knows what each person really said, and God knows who's right and who's wrong.

Am I then saying that we should not find out the truth of a matter? Of course not. But in matters where the web of complication are so entangled, how can we ever, with our own human wisdom, resolve it? I say my views are right and you say your views are right so who's right? Do you want to carry around a tape recorder for the rest of your life so that you can verify to the dot every single word each person say? And even if the word was spoken, are you God that you are so confident to gauge the intentions of the heart by that word? I say you are thinking like this and you say I am thinking like this so who's right? Is Paul or Barnabas right in Acts 15:36-40?

What is right my brothers is this:
1. "Love your enemies(if indeed that person has become your enemy), do good to those who hate you(if indeed that person hates you), bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." - Luke 6:27-28
and to
2. Forgive as the Lord forgave you - Matt 18:21-35

We need to move on not by sweeping everything under the carpet. But by doing what is right.

To present to you a different perspective on how our bias and weakness as fallen human being work in us, read the article below and discover for yourself what you have always thought all along had another side to it too. Only God knows. Let Him handle it.

Wisdom on: What you hear, what you believe, what you say

Excerpt from "The Imitation of Christ", Book 1 Chapter 4, by Thomas à Kempis

"We ought not to believe every saying or suggestion but ought to warily and patiently to ponder the matter with reference to God. But alas, such is our weakness, that we often believe and speak evil of others rather than good! Good men do not easily give credit to every tale; for they know that human infirmity is prone to evil (Gen 8:21), and very subject to offend in word (James 3:2)

It is great wisdom not to be rash in actions (prov. 19:2), nor to stand obstinately in your own conceits. It belongs also to this same wisdom not to believe everything you hear, or to pour into the ears of others (Prov 17:9) what you have heard or believed.

A good life makes a man wise according to God (prov 15:33), and gives him experience in many things (Eccles 1:16). The humbler a man is in himself, and the more resigned to God, the more prudent will he be in all things, and the more at peace."

I am still learning my friends. Are you?

The Great Commission and You

"If a commission by an earthly king is considered a honor, how can a commission by a Heavenly King be considered a sacrifice?" -- David Livingstone, missionary to Africa

"The command has been to 'go,' but we have stayed -- in body, gifts, prayer and influence. He has asked us to be witnesses unto the uttermost parts of the earth ... but 99% of Christians have kept puttering around in the homeland." -- Robert Savage, Latin American Mission

"'Not called!' did you say?
'Not heard the call,' I think you should say.
Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help. Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters and servants and masters not to come there. Then look Christ in the face -- whose mercy you have professed to obey -- and tell Him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish His mercy to the world. -- William Booth, founder of the Salvation Army

"The Christian is not obedient unless he is doing all in his power to send the Gospel to the heathen world." -- A.B. Simpson, founder of The Christian and Missionary Alliance

"I have but one passion: It is He, it is He alone. The world is the field and the field is the world; and henceforth that country shall be my home where I can be most used in winning souls for Christ." -- Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf, leader of the early protestant world mission movement

"As the Father has sent me, I also send you" -- John 20:21

Are you ready to go?

Let my heart be broken with the things that break God's heart

Excerpt from an Urbana 87 article by Roberta Hestenes
"Many years ago there was a blind beggar who sat by the side of the road, and as the traffic went by no one paid much attention to him. But one day he heard the noise of a crowd, and he knew that something was happening. Someone important was passing by. He asked, "What's happening? What's going on?" The bystanders replied, "It's Jesus of Nazareth. He's coming. He's on his way with his disciples to Jerusalem." Then the beggar cried out, "Jesus, son of David have mercy on me." Luke tells us that the leaders, the ones who preceded Jesus, probably meaning the disciples, said to this beggar, "Shut up. Be quiet. Don't disturb the status quo."

All too often I sense that we are afraid to feel the hurt, the pain and the suffering of this world. We anesthetize ourselves. We keep ourselves inundated with sensations and with noise and with activities so we won't see the pain of this world. Jesus' disciples were walking down the road, and Jesus had important things to do. They were important people because they were with Jesus, and who's got time for blind beggars? But the blind man would not shut up. He cried out even louder, 'Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me." And Jesus did something astonishing. He stopped, and everyone with him had to stop - why go if Jesus isn't going with you? Then Jesus called to the man. In the midst of the press of the multitude and the dust and the noise of the crowd, Jesus had time for one person's hurts." (Click here for full reading)

Are you afraid to feel the hurt, the pain and suffering of this world? Are you one of those that will say, "Shut up. Be quiet. Don't disturb the status quo" in expense of those who are poor, hurting and suffering?

Bob Pierce, World Vision's founder had this to say,"Let my heart be broken with the things that break God's heart"
"Let my heart be broken with the things that break God's heart"
"Let my heart be broken with the things that break God's heart"
"Let my heart be broken with the things that break God's heart .....

Thank you Terima Kasih 谢谢 Obrigado

I want to say a big thank you to all who have been praying for me and is still praying for me. Your prayers have done wonders for my soul because the Lord has heard your prayers and answered them.

Thank you to all of you for your counsel and your concern. My decision has been a very difficult one and one that you might even differ. But nonetheless, all of you have been a great pillar of support whether you agreed or not to my decision. I've been really blessed by your counsel and concern.

Last but not least, a big thank you to the Lord my God for bringing me through the most difficult period of my life thus far. The people I met, listened to and spoke with during that difficult time is certainly divine. If there is one thing that the Lord has constantly reminded me of, from the lowest period of my life to the 'reluctant' spring season now, is this: "I have not forgotten you"

"Never! Can a mother forget her nursing child? Can she feel no love for the child she has borne? But even if that were possible, I would not forget you! See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands." Isaiah 49:15-16 (NLT)

Praise the Lord O my soul!

Alive, Busy and Rested

Hello folks! In case you think I'm dead and buried together with this blog, I'm not. It's just that there have been quite a lot of things happening in my life for the past few weeks that had made me really quiet in my blog. And also, I have been busier than ever. Is busyness a bad thing? Someone taught that it's not. Hurriedness is. Restlessness is. Jesus was busy(having lots to do) but He was never in a hurry(never anxious, never overwhelmed).

"Though I am always in a haste," said John Wesley. "I am never in a hurry, because I never undertake more work than I can go through with perfect calmness of spirit."

You can say that I am now at rest - finally after a year or so.

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almight. I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust" - Psalm 91:1-2

Are you at rest my friend? If not, why not? Does the verse above rings a bell?

"There is no true rest until we truly trust the Lord."

May you find rest in Him and become alive again.

Hope Village Prey Veng

"That's Chong Chit. Oh, and that's Songha, Vitmol, Vanet, Sopheap....", my fingers busy pointing as the list goes on. Why was I so excited about these children on television? I realise one thing: Perhaps I do miss them. Though I only spent about 3 months with them, the last month being the one where I really got to know them better, I think there was a kind of bond which you will only realise after you have left. I miss those smiles, the laughter, the time spent playing games together, speaking simple English and Khmer to each other, being a 'big brother' to them and just simply hanging out. Maybe it is Cambodia. Maybe it is the children. Maybe it is the vision I received years ago. or maybe it is just something God has deposited in my heart. I will visit them again someday, God willing.

I just wanna worship you, Jesus

Who am I Lord? If not for you, I will still be in darkness. If not for you, I am as nothing. It has been a stormy season but I will choose to worship you. The whole world can come crumbling down but I will still choose to worship you. For who am I before you Lord? I just wanna worship you Jesus. I just wanna sit at your feet and enjoy your presence. I just wanna worship you.

Here's a really beautiful song by Casting Crowns. You'll be touched by it. Come worship Jesus again.


Who am I - by Casting Crowns
Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.

Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.

Chorus:
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.
I am yours.

Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.

Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.
