Anchor
Be my rock and my anchor O Lord,
though the storm may be fierce,
though the waters may be high,
Help me hold onto you,
that I may not drown
and I may not lose sight of you,
my amazing wonderful almighty God.
Always
Help me not to forget you Lord
Help me remember you’re always there
Watching, guiding and giving me care.
i’ve said this before in OCF small group, but i’m reallyy glad that i’m a Christian. cos God is just so amazing, like how i can screw up in my life and do stupid things and not trust him etc, but yet despite all that he still manages to work out such a perfect plan in my life so that when i look back i have nothing to say but WOW. Thank you Lord that you are just too wonderful for words :)
“And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the first born among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.”
Well i think i know i am called by God, since my life didnt exactly turn out how i thought it’d be, its better. and many times i’ve received assurance and peace and joy even in my choice of career and stuff.
So that means that i was predestined to be conformed to the likeness of Christ! and quoting the HTB guest speaker, being a Christian isn’t just about believing in Christ, its about becoming like Christ, being conformed to the likeness of Christ. The disciples and believers in the early Church Age were called Christians because they resembled Jesus Christ so much!
Amazing stuff. On one hand, i really thank God that i know that my life is going the right way for now, and i just thank Him that he predestined me to be conformed to his likeness (since that was the prayer of my heart after hearing the awe-inspiring sermon). On the other hand, i know i have to start working on this journey more, because as God reminded me, the more i seek him and his likeness, the more i will find him and become like him.
God, make me desire to be conformed to your likeness more!
oh man i just had a dream that my parents passed away! it was so vivid and real ):
but it made me realise how much i actually cherish them even though i get irritated easily and i’m quite rude at times.. and not to mention how i really felt so loved that both of them send smses to my UK phone every single day that i have an exam - made me think, no one else besides God gives me such unconditional love!
cool thing is that i did my QT after that and it was on Ephesians 6:1-6 “children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right” etc etc.
well all i can say is that God is so COOL and i’m so glad that i have him (:
just managed to get past the anxiety of how close exams are (i’ve been being stressed for quite long) and realise that summer is gonna be so fun! spain, paris, graceteh in london, singapore, teaching stint, KL maybe, etc etc etc! yayy
