Amazing Grace

Wow, today's worship was amazing...

Lord, i just want to thank you for helping me to overcome all fear and nervousness as i played today, and for helping me to truly come into your presence and to worship you as i played, Lord. Though i may not be able to sing to some songs while im playing, but i hope that i may glorify your holy name. Lord, i know you inhabit the praises of your people. And i thank you today for being in the midst of them all. Lord, help me to be that greatest man on earth today. I want to follow in the footsteps of John the baptist, and be more christ like. Lord, give me the strength to lead many more unsaved souls to know you, to show them the way to salvation. Lord, grant me a humble and meek heart, like your servant John. Let us not boast, but only boast in the name of the Lord. And Lord, fill me with your holy spirit, let it take control of my life, and guide me all the paths that i take. I thank you for a great message today, Lord. I love you, Lord. Amen.

Your will, not mine

After uth service last friday, some stuff happened, and i was faced with a dilemma - to serve or not to serve. It made me really confused. Was i doing all these for the right purpose? Was i doing it for men, and not for God? I kept questioning myself about the reality and truth of this matter. But i really prayed for His guidance to make the right decision in the ministry. Was reading the daily bread yesterday, and this portion of the passage really spoke to me. It says: "We can run what appears to be a good race by doing good things for others and obeying lots of rules. But when we arrive at the final checkpoint—heaven—and haven't made sure our name is recorded in the Lamb's Book of Life by putting our faith in Jesus as our Savior, we're disqualified to enter." Was i just going what seemed good? I thank you, Lord, for showing me the way today. I knew that if it was Your will for me to serve in the ministry, then I would. And you provided me that direction. Everything is cleared up now. I am so grateful for Your paths always. I thank you for the way you have closed doors and yet opened so many more. Help me to remember always that its Your will, not mine, Lord.

Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. —Acts 4:12

Thank You Lord!

Thank you for a great worship today. Thank you for being there for me, giving me that strength to overcome all nervousness and fear. To tell you the truth, Lord, i was really nervous. I am a natural introvert, Lord, and i find it hard to speak/perform in front of large groups. Yet, you gave me that strength i needed, to get through the first few songs. And then i forgot that You would be there leading me, so my confidence turned to nervousness. I know that happens only when i forget to turn my heart upon you, Lord. But as i continued worship, i know You were there in the presence of thy people. Thank you so much, for helping me all the way, in my promotional exams, in worship today especially, and for all the things You have done for me so far. Yes, Lord, thank you for speaking to Your servant, marcus, and to all the people that came today Lord. We need to trust, praise and thank you Lord. It is not You that is distant, but us, Lord. Help us to come back to thy first love, and revive us. Cleanse us me all my sins. Peel off that artificial layer on me, and empty me of myself, so that Your Holy Spirit can feel me to the brim Lord. I need Your grace and Your forgiveness today. But im really grateful for Your love. Cant thank you more, Lord. You are amazing! I love you, Lord. Amen

Set apart, I want to be,
living for You, my Lord, my Saviour!
