HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN!!im so nice. remembering the birthday which i just found out about today.dude yeahhh its your birthday. smile =)i guess pressure does pile up. and goodness knows youve probably experienced more of it than most people. like...Nong...Ben...and me. and i know saying dont worry doesnt do anything to eradicate your worries...cus contrary to what people believe i believe...problems dont just disappear if you dont make an issue out of them.and in times like these...i guess its only stereotypical that one is called to put his faith in God; a trust/faith-issue way easier said than done.God is omnipresent. and yet at times our lives seem so choked up with other issues that His grace seems clouded. at times his presence seems so farfrom us. and we look to Him and wonder at times...why He doesnt just take us away from our struggles and hardships, and allow us to lead an unperturbed life of worship and service to Him.maybe...thats cus hes not there to do that.over bountiful chapels and sermons, a consistent message is preached that God is our saviour, our redeemer, our single hope in this world of chaos. and irrefutably, He is all that and more. and yet being Christian and trusting in Him by no means buys us an all-encompassing get-out-of-jail-free card for every undesirable occurance life throws our way. God is there not to simply offer His immediate assistance in whatever issue we have to face...for if He did where would we draw our life lessons from. where would we learn to pull ourselves from the rubble.God is there not to push us forward unconditionally, but to reach out His hand...and beckon us to take it in faith. faith not that everything will become peachy at once, but that in Him, we will find greater strength to face the challenges we find so indominable, so unconquerable, so indiminishable by ourselves.God is there to be our hope.alone there is so much in life that threatens to bury us deep under issue after insustainable issue. but in God, there is that renewed vigour that pushes us forward regardless of however impossible the task ahead may seem.for when God is with you, who can be against you...?Your grace is enoughMore than I needAt Your word I will believeI wait for YouDraw near againLet Your Spirit make me newYour presence in meJesus light the wayBy the power of Your wordI am restoredI am redeemedBy Your Spirit, I am freeAnd I will fall at Your feet
I will fall at Your feet
And I will worship You hereFreely You gave it all for usSurrendered Your life upon that crossGreat is the love Poured out for allThis is our GodLifted on high from death to lifeForever our God is glorifiedServant and KingRescued the worldThis is our GodThis Is Our GodHillsongThis Is Our Godturn your eyes upon Jesus. nothing is too vast for Him to overcome.
