Like a Fire | Planetshakers Video, Lyrics
Here's a WORSHIP Song that speaks what my heart shouts! I'm sure you will be blessed by it as well!
Like a Fire | Planetshakers VIDEO
Like a Fire | Planetshakers LYRICS
Like a fire shut up in my bones
I want the world to know You are God
With a passion burning deep within
I want the world to know that You live
Let Your presence come and saturate
Every part of me, make me new
Let Your Spirit come and move within
Fill me once again ’cause I need more
Jesus I’m desperate for You
Jesus I’m hungry for You
Jesus I’m longing for You
‘Cause Lord You are all I want
Come like a flood and saturate me now
You’re all I want
Come like the wind and sweep throughout this place
You’re all we want

Who Am I?
Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Who am I?
That the bright and morning star,
Would choose to light the way,
For my ever wandering heart.
Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
Who am I?
That the voice that calmed the sea,
Would call out through the rain,
And calm the storm in me.
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.
I am a flower quickly fading,
Here today and gone tomorrow,
A wave tossed in the ocean,
A vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord, you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am.
I am yours.

Count On Me by Bruno Mars | Dedicate to all my Friends!
I saw this as a tweet from KC Concepcion and I just got hooked. I'd like to dedicate this song to all my Friends at the Church, my Cerebro Family, Team Loki, Team Carnage, Team Mephisto, Team Sinister, my highschool batch mates, my CE and EE classmates and to my Adiong housemates back in MSU. Miss you all!

Count On Me by Bruno Mars LYRICS
If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea,
I'll sail the world to find you
If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see,
I'll be the light to guide you
Find out what we're made of
When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like 1 2 3
I'll be there
And I know when I need it I can count on you like 4 3 2
And you'll be there
Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah
Woooooooh, Woooooooh
Yeah, Yeah
If you're tossing and you're turning and you just can't fall asleep,
I'll sing a song beside you
And if you ever forget how much you really mean to me,
Everyday I will remind you, ohh

When we are called to help our friends in need
You can count on me like 1 2 3
I'll be there

I Can't Live A Day Without You. Seriously.
CAN'T LIVE A DAY
Artist: Avalon
I could live life alone
And never fill the longings of my heart
The healing warmth of someone's arms
And I could live without dreams
And never know the thrill of what could be
With every star so far and out of reach
I could live without many things
And I could carry on, but
I couldn't face my life tomorrow
Without Your hope in my heart I know
I can't live a day without You
Lord, there's no night and there's no morning
Without Your loving arms to hold me
You're the heartbeat of all I do
I can't live a day without You
I could travel the world
See all the wonders beautiful and new
They'd only make me think of You
And I could have all life offers
Riches that were far beyond compare
To grant my every wish without a care
Oh, I could do anything, oh yes
But if You weren't in it all
Jesus, I live because You live
You're like the air I breathe
Oh Jesus, oh, I have because You give
You're everything to me

Terrified by Katharine McPhee ft Zachary Levi Lyrics
"Terrified" by Katharine McPhee featuring Zachary Levi (of the Chuck Series).
I wrote something about Zachary Levi, you might want to check it out here: Must Watch: Chuck Bartowski
TERRIFIED Lyrics
You by the light is the greatest find
In a world full wrong you're the thing that's right
Finally made it through the lonely to the other side
You said it again, my heart's in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love and I'm terrified
For the first time in the last time in my only life
This could be good, it's already better than last
And love is worse than knowing you're holding back
I could be all that you needed if you let me try
You said it again my hearts in motion
Every word feels like a shooting start
I'm at the edge of my emotions
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love and I'm terrified
For the first time in the last time in my only
I only said it 'cause I mean it, I only mean 'cause it's true
So don't you doubt what I've been dreaming
'Cause it fills me up and holds me close whenever I'm without you
You said it again my hearts in motion
Every word feels like a shooting star
Watching the shadows burning in the dark
And I'm in love and I'm terrified
For the first time in the last time in my only life

By Your Side | Tenth Avenue North Video, Lyrics
By Your Side Lyrics
Why are you striving these days
Why are you trying to earn grace
Why are you crying
Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away
Why are you looking for love
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough
To where will you go child
Tell me where will you run
To where will you run
And I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you
Look at these hands and my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in
And give you life
I want to give you life
(Chorus 2x)
Cause I, I love you
I want you to know
That I, I love you
I'll never let you go
(Chorus 2x)
Why are you striving these days
Why are you trying to earn grace
Why are you crying
Let me lift up your face
Just don't turn away
Why are you looking for love
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough
To where will you go child
Tell me where will you run
To where will you run
And I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you
Look at these hands and my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in
And give you life
I want to give you life
(Chorus 2x)
Cause I, I love you
I want you to know
That I, I love you
I'll never let you go
(Chorus 2x)

There Will Be A Day | Jeremy Camp
There Will Be A Day | Jeremy Camp
I try to hold on to this world with everything I have
But I feel the weight of what it brings, and the hurt that tries to grab
The many trials that seem to never end, His word declares this truth,
that we will enter in this rest with wonders anew
But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering
There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we’ll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we’ll hold on to you always
I know the journey seems so long
You feel your walking on your own
But there has never been a step
Where you’ve walked out all alone
Troubled soul don’t lose your heart
Cause joy and peace he brings
And the beauty that’s in store
Outweighs the hurt of life’s sting
I can’t wait until that day where the very one I’ve lived for always will wipe away the sorrow that I’ve faced
To touch the scars that rescued me from a life of shame and misery this is why this is why I sing….
There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we’ll see Jesus face to face
There will be a day,
He’ll wipe away the stains,
He’ll wipe away the tears,
He’ll wipe away the tears…..
There will be a day.
Soon...Soon... Let's just hold on.

The Young Man Dies
These past few days, I have been struggling with growing and putting childish things behind me. What to do, Where to start, What to change and How do I do it?
All these questions were answered when I bumped on the Joshua Harris'es post about the song of David Wilcox entitled "Young Man Dies". And I was hit head-on or shall I say heart-on!
He could picture you a perfect sunrise
in the middle of your darkest night.
And he could take a sip from someday,
like he had a secret well.
He could listen to the voices calling
from a distant time will tell.
It's you in that picture where you're looking far away
like you hear a whisper of the things
you'll know someday.
But back then your heart was hungry
for something hard to find; you were
just holding out for someday,
but you've left that pain behind
'cause he walked you through those mountains,
for as long as he could bear.
He never reached the fountain,
but he could take you there.
The young man's dying
'cause in the years it takes to make one man wise,
the young man dies.
By David Wilcox from the album Underneath
There goes the answer! For me to successfully leave behind the childish person in me, the young man must die.

Glee's Don't Stop Believin | YourSong
From time to time, I will be posting some of my favorite songs as well in this blog. Songs here can vary from Christian, Contemporary, and some of my Personal favorites.
I'll start YourSong with this song from the ever famous GLEE!
Check out after the Jump lyrics and video of Don't Stop Believin.
Don't Stop Believin
Don't Stop Believin' Lyrics
Just a small town girl
livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in South Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere
A singer in a smoky room
The smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on
Strangers waiting Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the nights
Streetlights, people
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the nights
Working hard to get my fill,
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some are born to sing the blues
And now the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on
Don't stop believin
Hold on to that feelin'
Streetlight, people
(repeat)
Don't stop!

Whatever it Takes by The Voice by JoshHarris
Here's a song dedicated for the latest book of Joshua Harris "Dug Down Deep".
Read his post and more about the book here: http://www.joshharris.com/2010/03/voice_raps_dug_down_deep.php
Lyrics "Whatever it Takes" by Voice
V1
I'm on a mission with my shovel out cuz sin is deep so I'm glad that he has dug us out
And its a fight everyday its like I'm in a bout, ding ding life is a ring the world shouts
And everything is speaking for allegiance, competing with the God I am complete in.
I need grace its like my faith is depleting so I'm on my face asking Lord am I deep in
Uhnn most of my life has been a rumspringa, meology my introduction to theology
Was like whoa I was offering God apologies, I want the right opinion of him orthodoxy,
It takes Moxie nowadays to choose life,
we should be asking what are we choosing by choosing Christ
Its more than nice that theology matters,
bcuz what you believe determines who you are in the hereafter.

Hook
I'm trying to figure out what this life is about,
I gotta see what I believe in world full of doubt,
Cuz even though I know what's true to not be confused by the fake,
I'll do whatever it takes
V2
If I'm honest sometimes I feel the pressure,
cuz digging deep is not an option, its doctrine
It is Luke 6 Christ's words I adopt them building foundations on the sand
hope I'm not him
cuz its easy to fall a victim to and base confidence on what's insecure that is sinking you
and be deceiving yourself if you don't think it through, when the storm comes it'll wash your foundation thru
And I'm telling you it don't stop hurting'
unless you build what you building now as a rock person.
what I mean is you putting your faith in practice,
truth requires action you lay it down like a mattress.
so when they ask this " what'd you build your life on"
if Christ is the goal u should be headed for the Pylon
so when the storms and the waves come and pile on,
your foundations rock solid get your smile on.
Hook
I'm trying to figure out what this life is about,
I gotta see what I believe in world full of doubt,
Cuz even though I know what's true to not be confused by the fake,
I'll do whatever it takes
V3
I wanna touch the heart of theology and when I do it Lord help me do it properly
and thinking true thoughts all the wrath that you caught,
is intensified by the purchases that you bought
blood shed is the reason I wanna be with him this is no moralistic, therapeutic deism,
this is good news headline reads be digging,
no small thoughts all thoughts be that he's risen
unn so now lets make this thing practical, since I am convinced
this is God's word and factual
but not merely a list of facts and features they are truths that inform for all what belief is
so I'll study the attributes of God and I'll dig deep even when my arms are getting tired,
I wont stop until I've dug on this spot as I learn you are far but you're near
you're the Rock.

Kris Allen Live Like We're Dying Lyrics, Video
Remember the time when I posted (predicted) that Kris Allen will win American Idol? Read it here: Kris Allen will be the Next American Idol
And we all know my prediction was right. He just released his newest album and the first time I listened to one of the singles (Live Like We're Dying), I was convinced he deserved to win even if the rest would say otherwise.
The meaning this song tells the listeners is amazing! It tells or conveys the sense of urgency for all of us who don't have eternity for us to say and show "I Love You" every chance we got.
Here's the video and lyrics. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Kris Allen's Live Like We're Dying
Kris Allen - Live Like Were Dying Lyrics
Sometimes we fall down and cant get back up
Were hiding behind skin thats too tough
How come we dont say I love you enough
Till its too late, its not too late
Our hearts are hungry for a food that wont come
We could make a feast from these crumbs
And were all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you, what would you wish you wouldve done
[Chorus]
Yeah, gotta start
Looking at the hand of the time weve been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin it
Every second counts on a clock thats tickin
Gotta live like were dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell em that we love em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like were dying
And if you plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbyes
Should be so careful who we live out of our lives
So when we long for absolution, therell be no one on the line
(Chorus)
Like were dying (x4)
(Chorus)
You never know a good thing until its gone
you never see a crash until its head on
All these people right when were dead wrong,
You never know a good thing till its gone
(Chorus)
Like were dying (x4)
(Chorus)
Sometimes we fall down and cant get back up
Were hiding behind skin thats too tough
How come we dont say I love you enough
Till its too late, its not too late
Our hearts are hungry for a food that wont come
We could make a feast from these crumbs
And were all staring down the barrel of a gun
So if your life flashed before you, what would you wish you wouldve done
[Chorus]
Yeah, gotta start
Looking at the hand of the time weve been given here
This is all we got and we gotta start thinkin it
Every second counts on a clock thats tickin
Gotta live like were dying
We only got 86 400 seconds in a day
To turn it all around or throw it all away
We gotta tell em that we love em while we got the chance to say,
Gotta live like were dying
And if you plane fell out of the skies
Who would you call with your last goodbyes
Should be so careful who we live out of our lives
So when we long for absolution, therell be no one on the line
(Chorus)
Like were dying (x4)
(Chorus)
You never know a good thing until its gone
you never see a crash until its head on
All these people right when were dead wrong,
You never know a good thing till its gone
(Chorus)
Like were dying (x4)

Until the Whole World Hears - Casting Crowns Video, Lyrics
I was checking Billboard.com today trying to check what's new in the Music World. Of course I didn't miss checking what's "IN" and "HOT" in the Christian Music World.
And here's what I found out! One of my favorite bands debuted at Number 1 spot in the Christian Album Charts while their single is at Number 2 in the Christian Songs charts after TobyMac's City On Our Knees.
The meaning and the message just strikes me really hard! Let's ready ourselves to be the Light and the Salt of this World. Until the whole world hears, we'll not stop doing it!
Video and Lyrics after the jump!
Until the Whole World Hears - Casting Crowns Video, Lyrics
Lord I want to feel your heart
and see the world through your eyes
I want to be your hands and feet
I want to live a life that leads
Chorus
and see the world through your eyes
I want to be your hands and feet
I want to live a life that leads
Chorus
Ready yourselves
Ready yourselves
Let us shine the light of Jesus in the darkest night
Ready yourselves
Ready yourselves
May the powers of darkness tremble as our praises rise
Until the whole world hears Lord we are calling out
Lifting up Your name for all to hear the sound
Like voices in the wilderness we're crying out
as the day draws near
We'll sing until the whole world hears
Lord let your sleeping giant arise
Catch the demons by surprise
Holy nation sanctified
Let this be our battle cry
Chorus
We'll sing until the whole world hears
We'll sing until the whole world hears
Want to be your hands and feet
Want to be a life that leads
To see you set the captive free
Until the whole world hears
and I pray that they will see more of you and less of me
Lord I want my life to be the song You sing
Until the whole world hears Lord we are calling out
Lifting your name up for all to hear the sound
Like voices in the wilderness we're crying out
as the day draws near
We'll sing until the whole world hears
We'll sing until the whole world hears
We'll sing until the whole world hears
Catch the demons by surprise
Holy nation sanctified
Let this be our battle cry
Chorus
We'll sing until the whole world hears
We'll sing until the whole world hears
Want to be your hands and feet
Want to be a life that leads
To see you set the captive free
Until the whole world hears
and I pray that they will see more of you and less of me
Lord I want my life to be the song You sing
Until the whole world hears Lord we are calling out
Lifting your name up for all to hear the sound
Like voices in the wilderness we're crying out
as the day draws near
We'll sing until the whole world hears
We'll sing until the whole world hears
We'll sing until the whole world hears
We'll sing until the whole world hears
We'll sing until the whole world hears
We'll sing until the whole world hears

Truest, Most Real and Amazing Love of All
This is supposed to be my entry to Testify to Love: Get a chance to win Avalon’s “The Greatest Hits” at my friend's blog: Gannsdeen.com.
Sadly it's late now. I wasn't able to read the part where he says the deadline in Nov. 30th and today is unfortunately December 1st. Now, I'm sure all of you are now shouting and asking why I didn't do it before the deadline. To answer that, I didn't notice and I forgot. LOL! Enough of that, here's my post:
My post is all about the Love that every man is dying to have. It's more than a feeling or anything else. It can't be faked, in fact it's THE most real thing. A lot of us have run from there to here, from hurt to more hurt, from failed expectations to more failed expectations. It's almost a hopeless cycle.
I had a conversation with a friend who just broke up with his boyfriend. This friend of mine is a "HE" as well, making their relationship a homosexual one. If 10 years ago, this kind of relationship is a taboo. At this time though, it has become a "normal" thing especially that I'm working in a call center. (Disclaimer: I don't agree to this kind of relationship but I respect my friends who are engaged in it). So back to my conversation with him. I asked him, what really happened? Why did they break up after more than a year? He answered (hesitantly) it's because he no longer understands what his partner really wants and that he now had grown tired meeting the needs of the other while expecting his own needs be met as well. Actually, most of the relationships we see right now is of this nature. You agree or not. Everyone engages in a relationship because they need something from the other person. It maybe financial needs, emotional support, or just having someone to lean on. Don't take me wrong, these are why there are relationships. For our needs to be met. But when these "meeting of our needs" become the center of the relationship then that's when it crumbles. When each one starts to take and expect instead of freely giving without expecting in return, that's when relationships end.
Love, I've explained to him must be selfless. For relationships to work, one must be willing to give and give and just give. With this he replied, "Isn't that unfair?". Of course it is. That's what love really is. Even if the other one doesn't give back, it just continues to love no matter what. This kind of love is seldom found. Especially when people who are looking for it doesn't have it in the first place?
Where is this Love then?
It's in the Father, the GOD who created everything including love and the ability to love.
Here's what the Bible says from The Message version:
And John 3:16 from The Message version still:
"This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again. Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person's failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.
Now we were of no use whatever to him, but He still chose to love us. And he continues to love us no matter what. I mean, REALLY! It doesn't matter what you have done or what you are going to do, He'll continue to LOVE us.
When each partner has this Love then that's when relationships grow! Why? They're already filled with God's love that they just overflow without anymore taking.
Here's a song from Hillsong that would always tell me how Real, How TRUE and How Amazing God's Love is:
God Bless you more and more!
Sadly it's late now. I wasn't able to read the part where he says the deadline in Nov. 30th and today is unfortunately December 1st. Now, I'm sure all of you are now shouting and asking why I didn't do it before the deadline. To answer that, I didn't notice and I forgot. LOL! Enough of that, here's my post:
My post is all about the Love that every man is dying to have. It's more than a feeling or anything else. It can't be faked, in fact it's THE most real thing. A lot of us have run from there to here, from hurt to more hurt, from failed expectations to more failed expectations. It's almost a hopeless cycle.
I had a conversation with a friend who just broke up with his boyfriend. This friend of mine is a "HE" as well, making their relationship a homosexual one. If 10 years ago, this kind of relationship is a taboo. At this time though, it has become a "normal" thing especially that I'm working in a call center. (Disclaimer: I don't agree to this kind of relationship but I respect my friends who are engaged in it). So back to my conversation with him. I asked him, what really happened? Why did they break up after more than a year? He answered (hesitantly) it's because he no longer understands what his partner really wants and that he now had grown tired meeting the needs of the other while expecting his own needs be met as well. Actually, most of the relationships we see right now is of this nature. You agree or not. Everyone engages in a relationship because they need something from the other person. It maybe financial needs, emotional support, or just having someone to lean on. Don't take me wrong, these are why there are relationships. For our needs to be met.

Here's what the Bible says from The Message version:
But God put his love on the line for us by offering his Son in sacrificial death while we were of no use whatever to him. Rom. 5:8
And John 3:16 from The Message version still:
"This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life.

Let Christ Be Revealed | You'll Come by Hillsong United | MM
Here's a song from Hillsong United that has touched my heart so deep.
The message I received while listening to this song (and singing) is found in the bridge part.
"Chains be broken
Lives be healed
Eyes be opened
Christ is revealed"
It just reminds us that it takes for us to be set free or a better way of saying it is it takes for us to know that we've been set free! It takes for our lives to be healed from anger, hatred, disappointments and sin. It takes for us to open our eyes to understand what God has been doing and His purposes instead of focusing on the NOW!
Because by doing so, Christ is REVEALED through our lives!
Listen to the song and share to us what God has spoken through this song.
You'll Come by Hillsong United
(Hosea 6) Brooke Fraser 2007
Verse 1
I have decided I have resolved
To wait upon you Lord
My rock and redeemer shield, and reward
I'll wait upon you Lord
Prechorus
As surely as the sun will rise
You'll come to us
As certain as the dawn appears
Chorus
You'll come let your glory fall
As you respond to us
Spirit Rain, flood into our thirsty hearts again
You'll come.
Verse 2
We are not shaken we are not moved
We wait upon you Lord
Mighty deliverer triumph and truth
We wait upon you Lord
As surely as the sun will rise you'll come to us
Certain as your word endures.
CHORUS
Bridge
Chains be broken
Lives be healed
Eyes be opened
Christ is revealed

Relient K: Who I am Hates Who I've Been Video, Lyrics
Here's a great song that has touched my heart.
It's a song from Relient K enttiled "Who I Am Hates Who I've Been"
Amazing meaning! Great Song!
Check out the Video and Lyrics after the jump!
"Who I Am Hates Who I've Been"
I watched the proverbial sunrise
Coming up over the Pacific and
You might think I'm losing my mind,
But I will shy away from the specifics...
'cause I don't want you to know where I am
'cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been.
This is no place to try and live my life.
[Pre-Chorus]
Stop right there. That's exactly where I lost it.
See that line. Well I never should have crossed it.
Stop right there. Well I never should have said
That it's the very moment that
I wish that I could take back.
[Chorus]
I'm sorry for the person I became.
I'm sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again
'cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been.
I talk to absolutely no one.
Couldn't keep to myself enough.
And the things bottled inside have finally begun
To create so much pressure that I'll soon blow up.
I heard the reverberating footsteps
Synching up to the beating of my heart,
And I was positive that unless I got myself together,
I would watch me fall apart.
And I can't let that happen again
'cause then you'll see my heart
In the saddest state it's ever been.
This is no place to try and live my life.
[Pre-Chorus x2]
[Chorus]
Who I am hates who I've been
And who I am will take the second chance you gave me.
Who I am hates who I've been
'cause who I've been only ever made me...
So sorry for the person I became.
So sorry that it took so long for me to change.
I'm ready to be sure I never become that way again
'cause who I am hates who I've been.
Who I am hates who I've been.
You are a new CREATION! The OLD has gone, the NEW has come!

I Will Go Where You Want Me To Go
This is in connection to my last devotion about Tweeting the Gospel: Spread God's Word.
In this post, I'll bring the devotion a little deeper.
The verse above brings it to a more personal level. Yes, we are to spread the gospel. We are to tell the people the GOOD NEWS. I'm sure we are able to easily do this when nothing is at stake. We can easily obey when no compromise from our end is necessary or needed.
But here's the question:
Will you still Go and Make Disciples when you are asked to actually DENY yourself?
...when you're asked to say no to the usual stuff we have been so used to doing?
...when you're asked to let go of that cigarette stick and that bottle of beer?
...when you're asked to consider other's interest above your own?
...when you're asked to even resign from your Job and let go of something very important according to God's will?
...when you're asked to let go even your very own family?
Now that's the real story.
Christian life is not easy. It takes commitment and perseverance. It takes a 180 degrees turn from the usual life you've lived to the life God has given you to live. It takes you to forget even your own desires and wants to obey God's WILL!
Yes, it's radical. But just as Christ has carried the cross, we are to also carry the same cross in order for us to follow him.
How have you been following Jesus your Lord? Do you opt to follow HIM the easy way (own way), or the better way God had set for us to follow?
Here's a video from Hillsong United which will reinforce the topic at hand. I included the lyrics for better "absorption".
My prayer is for you to be blessed with it and for you to be challenged even more to obey Him in any and every way possible.
I WILL GO by Hillsong United Video, Lyrics
I have found myself in You, the purpose for my life
I discover who I am, as Your spirit touches mine
Every step I take, every move I make
You are by my side
And I will be strong, my strength is in you
I will go where You want me to go
I will do what You want me to do
Yes I will go where You want me to go
I will be who You want me to be
Anything for You
When You ask me I will go
You show the way before me
In Your word I find the truth
You lead me on this journey
Those who trust in you, ever praising You
Will find their strength renewd
I'm gonna make itm, make it happen
God Bless you More!

Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. [Matt. 16:24 (NIV)]
