Surrender All

Received a song from a dear friend coz it ministered to her..
And it did, for me too....

Alabaster Jar

This alabaster jar
is all I have of worth
I break it at Your feet, Lord
It's less than You deserve
You're far more beautiful
More precious than the oil
The sum of my desires
and the fullness of my joy!


Like You spilled Your blood,
I spill my heart as an offering
to my King


Here I am, take me
As an offering
Here I am, giving every heartbeat
For Your glory take me


The time that I have left
is all I have of worth
I lay it at Your feet, Lord
It's less than You deserve
And though I've little strength
And though my days are few,
You gave Your life for me
So, I will live my life for You

Worthy, Worthy
You are worthy
Worthy is the Lord

In my prayers this morning, I told Him that I will trust in His provision and plans. I asked that we can be a blessing to others as many have been a great blessing to us eversince we came here. What we received, we want to give. It's a little simple prayer..but involves surrendering all my burdens and plans unto Him. I thanked Him for his grace, coz that is what sustains me through each day.

There is no limit on how much we are to surrender to Him. Because we are to surrender all. He gave His life for us, and this is what we should do too. But how great that struggle is! It's easy to life our hands and sing the songs. It's also easy to blog (like what I'm doing now!)...but really doing it? I'll be a hypocrite if I say I can do it just by a click of fingers. I can't. Day by day, I'll surrender abit more. And let Him mould me into what He has intended for me.

Growing up in a family where mum and dad were always quarelling and when they divorced when I was a teenager, I never had that fatherly love that I yearned for. How happy was I when could call Him, "Father". I know He will not forsake me ever again I felt safe. So to me, God is this "big man" who holds me in His arms and cuddles me like I'm a little girl. Someone asked me why I dun seemed to worry. To set the records straight, I do! (: But after the panic attack, I know my Father will take care of everything, no matter what. And that is grace He gives and the peace that sustains me.

Extra:
And God answers prayers! I prayed for positive attitude for today's class. (you all know how much I hate this morning's class..especially after the agonising 2 week of doing that assignment). But I enjoyed class today. The topic was interesting (and having it taught by a guest speaker helped). I'm please to announced that I am motivated to start on my final assignments already! Praise the Lord!
