Your faithful love
has always been there for me
The greatest love that i have ever known
What can i give to you
For all You've given to me
You gave it all
And You are all i need

Pre-chorus:
You are my king,
You are my God
Praises I bring
Come from my heart

Chorus:
This is for You
For all You've done for me
and I wanted to show You
How much You mean
My God,
my God

My God by Hillsongs United. Just happened to be clicking onto it in windows media player. Throat not feeling that well.. sore after eating all those new year goodies.. haha.. but i shall say i AM HEALED! Recent events have brought me to re-evaluate alot of things. Rank of importance have shifted. *God is still number 1* Even before i turned 20, life has reared its head and is heading for a different course altogether already. Conversations have changed.. They arent abt material stuff anymore.. Friends are talking abt boy/girl relationships.. about how many kids they want to have in the future. You get the idea. Return me to the time when we were kids and didn't have to worry about these. Hey, the kingdom of God belongs to Children like these no?

I Thank God for all He's done for me. Less than a month to my twentieth, I really got Him to thank only. His grace is always present at every juncture of my life. When i needed help, He was more willing to answer than i was to ask. The almighty God who created the world, and breathed life into everything, someone so great so mighty, so strong, willing to come by my side to guide me and whisper advice in my ear; willing to come down to my filthy state and stay with me, hug me even when im unclean, kiss me even tho im unfaithful. Truly only his Grace brings the wayward back.

It just came to my mind.. on this 20th b'day its gonna be a year since i surrendered my life to God.. When i said "I can't take my way anymore. Let's see what you got in stored for me instead" Can i say i changed? Definitely. It was the most important decision i made in my life. To submit my life to God. Praise Jesus i was born into a Christian family. Was it smooth? No. Temptation still stood in the way. Distractions constantly arose. At times i found myself straying away from Him. Did i sin? Of course. What's the difference? The Peace. Even through trials and difficulties, the inner peace was still there. Thank God for Pastor Prince and the other pastors from New creation Church. It's the peace of God that made the difference. The peace that Jesus had when he said "Peace! Be still!" to the storm. The same peace he left us when he said "MY Peace I Leave With You."

*John 14:27* Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Shalom. The prince of peace leaving you His Peace. Amen to that! The same peace that YOU can have in the midst of any trouble. The comfort of knowing that God is there with You; The feeling you get that everything will turn out fine no matter what.

The presence of God is truly the most precious of treasures. And the best part? He's just a holler away. =]
