BREAK MY HEART FOR WHAT BREAKS YOURS

Heal my heart and make it clean

Open up my eyes to the things unseen

Show me how to love like you have loved me

Break my heart for what is yours

Everything I am for your kingdom's cause

As I walk from earth into eternity

I don't know if I'm the only one feeling this way, but everytime I sing the bridge of the new "Hosanna" song by Brooke Fraser, my heart aches so bad. It aches because it yarns to see His will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. It aches because I'm a sinner that sometimes feel so unworthy to accomplish His will.

The past week or so, I have been confronted with the fact that God wants us to come along side Him. To be His agents of divine omnipotence. Even though this is true, there are so many times where my heart feels one thing, but my head says another. Most often, I feel like Moses- - "Who Am I to do Your Will?" or Gideon - "Where is the miracle? Can't you choose someone to do it? But don't choose me." I want to see the miracle but have little faith in myself.

But I learnt that we should stop whinning about the lack of miracles, and realise that God is calling us to produce those miracles we yarn to see, realise that God is saying that it is not about you, but about God, who is the Great I Am. Even as if share this with you, I am still struggling to understand that I was chosen for moments such as these. But I suppose with God, somethings we will never understand, but in faith, take action and make God visible.

Be encourage,

GOD'S TATTOO P2

I was just reading my own blog entry about how much my God loves me. God loves me with an everlasting love, unconditional and indescribable. Then i asked myself this question: Am i capable of loving anyone the way God does?

So i started thinking about the relationship I am in right now, with my special significant someone. Whether he knows it or not, like my God, I made a decision to love him. Whether he knows it or not, that decision wasn't a temporary comitment. Maybe that is why my special significant someone is falling in love with me.

But whether he knows it or not, he is actually falling in love with my God too. Cause my God is in me and will always be. And my God is part of who I am.

GOD'S TATTOO

I've always been in awe of people who have the guts to get a tattoo. It's not their physical bravery or social courage that impresses me so much as the permanence of their decision.

In Isaiah 49:16 "See, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands."

God has a tattoo. And it has my name on it. With full knowledge of what he was getting himself into, God made a decision to love me. That decision wasn't a temporary commitment—his love won't stop if someone better comes along. And it wasn't a conditional commitment—his love isn't based on what we can contribute to the relationship. It's a forever promise, a "not even death can part us" promise.

Thinking about our human relationships...we long for tangible reminders that we're loved. We want people to remember our birthday, send us flowers for no particular reason, tell us what they appreciate about us, hug us. Each time he tells me, "I love you." or "You are special, really special to me.", I melt and shivers roll down my spine. And I am reminded of how we're wired to be told we're loved.

God knows we have this need. He understands our short memory and our desire for tangible proof. So not only does he tell us over and over in Scripture how crazy he is about us, he went so far as to engrave our names on the palms of his hands. If there ever was a doubt of his love, God's tattoo settles it now and forever. We belong to him. Permanently. Uncon-ditionally. "It is he who made us, and we are his" (Psalm 100:3).
