Beautiful One

We have a wonderful God
He has plans for His children
That we cannot reason out
His ways are higher than ours
He is greater than our logic or our imagination

I realise so many times - time and time again,
How God does not give up on me.
I am so weak, sometimes i feel like i can't even try anymore.
"When will i win over my failings?" i ask myself...

Then i see again that i cannot - but instead i should trust in Jesus
He is perfection
And He died in my place
So I could live by having faith in Him.

Another thing i've been learning. God works through us (as His children) by His Holy Spirit.
My own enthusiasm (manufactured by myself) only fades away, and has no wisdom to show me the right steps to take...

But the Holy Spirit will guide me into truth. In Him alone we can trust.
So I have to learn to listen to God's voice - not my own logic

God will provide passion when it is required - and that passion will not point to self but to God.
My own enthusiasm cannot sustain itself.

I will not try to encourage myself by my own reasoning.
But instead set my hope on God's grace
And turn to Him for refreshment - to Him who already knows my every need


Beautiful One
Thank You Jesus for being there to help me out
help me to listen to You
to trust You
and to be obediant

Thank You that you are already there in my future
Thank You that Your plans are flawless and I can trust You to provide for me
Amen

Craving for God

It's quite funny, sometimes you fail to realsie just how important some things are to you - until you are deprived of them.
Man what a feeling, i feel like i'm drained of my lifeblood like all my hopes have been dashed

...Just because i can't go to church tonight

It sounds insane - i didn't realise how much it mean't to me deep inside until i learn't that i had to look after my sister this evening. It wasn't actually something i had to do under my parents authority but it felt so wrong to leave her at home on her own - so i decided to stay.

God has a way of being so incredibly addictive, that i cling to Him without realising. Then i think what a blessing it is that He promises to be with me always - even unto the end of the age!
Nothing can overcome Him and He chooses to live inside of me - Amazing Grace

I think i need to learn that God is still with me (just as powerfully) even when i am not standing in His church. The real church is His family, which i am adopted into. - and noone can pluck me from His hand
Still i am thankful in a way for God releasing such a hunger for Him in me.

I can't describe it but it helps me pray.
So i'm gonna end here
Keep focussed on God and let Him draw you deeper


May God Bless you
and keep you

Here is a post for one of my best m8s at school

I have this mate at school called Prits
And he was asking me if i could give him a shout on my blog so he can be famous worldwide
so... because he means so much...
i couldn't refuse him
So Prits - here you are, your mention on the web,
Prits would like everyone to know:

that he is very funny but understanding and intelligent at the same time
he also enjoys many sports and loves to hang out and spend quality time with his freinds

lol...
am i flattering you a bit here?

anyway, Prits is fantastic and much appreciated
a great friend to hang out with.
One thing i really admire about Prits, is that he isn't two faced
he is straight with me and talks with me about loads of stuff
Great mate
Thank You God for Prits to hang with at school

God Bless

Songs?

I had this song in my head

God is good
all the time

and one that goes

His anger lasts a moment
but His favour lasts a lifetime

They might be the same song actually

What a cool song
Isn't it true
God Bless
