In the midst...

 In the midst of mess...


My frail heart cries
Worried
Perplexed
Anxious
Overwhelmed

Yet His word assures
Beckons
Affirms
Comforts
Strengthens

                                                                                       ...may we experience God !



  In the midst of victory...

My proud heart boast
Triumphant
Domineering
Arrogant
Self righteous
Self reliant

Yet His word rebukes
Admonishes
Corrects
Disciplines
Purges

                                                                                                       ...may we give all God the glory!




 Verses to ponder  ;)

“ There is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth away fear, because fear hath torment, yet he who fear is  not made perfect in love”
1 John 4:7-21

“ For of Him, and through Him, and to Him are all things to whom be glory forever! Amen
Romans 11:31

Who holds your heart?


      
           How is your heart today? Is it trembling, worried,anxious, happy, excited, overwhelmed , or has somebody else captured your heart? The Lord who fashioned you and crafted you desires that you give it to Him, in wondrous peace and sweet surrender.

           Why is it that the Lord is commanding us to give our hearts back to Him?  For a reason that our heart is  a vital part of ourselves. It corporates the things we do and it generates in us alot of things. Proverbs admonishes us to keep it, for out of it springs issues of life.
       
“Give your fears...
“Give your uncertainties...
“Give your expectations...
“Give your heart to the Lord!

           

"This song was shared to me and I am sharing it to you, as it ministered to me in the seasons of my toiling heart". ;)



Just give Jesus



“In life we will meet lots of people, but the challenge is, at the end of the day
have we reflected CHRIST in their lives, and that makes the difference, when
we go on our separate ways, will they remember His face?”

A person whom I cared for, asked me that if she needs to compete
with other people in my life, and I silently asked the Lord, "Have I drawn
her to myself?
   
In everything, in every human relationship that could possibly exist,
it is turning over to Christ. How tempting it will be to draw love to self, to take the attachment,
to take the glory but is it always putting all your disciples to Christ. To let them
see who Christ is and have Him as refuge, not self, for it is Christ that will
always be the "center focus of everything." And when the moments will end,
when life beckons another phase, you will never regret for you gave Jesus alone.

How  have I fallen in the pit of my own consumed desires, and yes I need
to surrender.

~A prayer:~

"God I pray that they will be drawn to YOU, and not to me,
and I will turn them to your fellowship not mine, for it is You that will
always cause growth in their lives."


May this song minister to your soul ;) I pray for nothing less than for you to love
Jesus more.

When strings pluck the heart.. When notes becomes a composition of life "Series"


A Series...
Music originally comes from the heart of God,who made every sound and ryhme. Who blended the perfect harmony and orchestrated symphony. Who is the maker and author of every beautiful gift, and one of it is -music.

In this world that we live in,  everyday we battle with different  sounds, from the normal routines up to the pressures of life. We face the buzz of the vehicles around us,the laughthers, the voices, and fail to notice the silent pleas and human cries. We succumb for the different voices we hear, and neglect that there is a still small voice within us. This is a series of reflections out of  a music that springs  to the heart of a soul from the omnipotent hand of God- the ultimate musician.


“You make beautiful things out of dust”

Gen. 2:07
>> “ And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into His nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul” <<

    Have you ever come to the point of asking yourself  can something good come out from your life? Have you been discouraged in life? Have you made some mistakes and failures that have inevitable consequences? Is there any pain that cripples you to go on?

We are made out of dust, and God breathed into His nostrils and life began. Everything came from God, our life, our soul and  our being. Nothing in ourselves can we ever boast it comes ultimately from Him, yet even in our frailness , He extends His greatness and allows His deity to be known. The human heart is deceitful, wicked, sinful and dark. People are indeed messy, leaky vessels yet with the wrecthedness of man, overflows the heart of a forgiving Father, and with the ungratefulness of man extends the graciousness of God.


                It is Christ who made beautiful in us, it His reflection  that radiates and glows and not of own efforts. Whoever is in Christ, is a new creature, all things have passed away behold all things become a new. Our sins and mistakes does not define us but our righteous stand in Christ, who have redeemed and bought  us through His blood. “But God who is rich and mercy for His great love wherewith he loved us, even when we are dead in sins, hath quickeneth us together with Christ, and hath raised us up together with Christ. And hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ.


          Who can ever think of himself more valuable than the reality that the Lord who made everything in its existence values you. People may judge and condemn you, yet the Lord offers and extends His compassionate eyes of love and forgiveness. We may condemn ourselves as well, yet there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. Our worth springs up in the roots of God who has drawn us to himself.
 And yes, the Lord is in His ways of making beautiful songs out of broken strings!

Here is the song: Beautiful Things, may it ministered to your soul ;)
