it doesn't matter...

It doesn't matter where I run, You're there for me

It doesn't matter what I've done Your love's for me

You wipe away the tears, You lift me when I fall

My life is safe by the mercy of Your grace

It doesn't matter where I go, You walk with me

It doesn't matter when I fall, You cover me

You wipe away the tears, You lift me when I fall

My life is safe by the mercy of Your grace

You are my Father, Provider

You're my deliverer

Your mercies embrace me, surround me

Through Your everlasting love

Father I worship You

Father I worship You

And Your love is for me

And Your love is for me

And Your love is forever

(Arvid Gunardi & Sidney Mohede)

Dear Father God,

thank you for loving me...

times like this...

I really need to focus on the right things...

a friend shared this poem on fb...and it encouraged me a lot as i prepare to go into 'battle' next week...

__________________________________________________________________

In Jesus' name I pray,

In Him my heart I lay.

He keeps me strong day by day,

He the Potter, I the clay.

I bow my head and close my eyes,

Shutting out distractions that entice.

I can depend on Him for endless advice,

For I know his love for me ain't no game of dice.

I see Your glory, way brighter than the sun,

Empowering your sacrifice heavier than a ton.

Thank you Lord for all You've done,

In sending me Your precious Son.

He calms my soul and gives me peace,

He takes away all stress, I feel at ease.

For in the end I know at least,

He's waiting for me at Heaven's feast.

where does my help come from...

Psalm 121

A song of ascents.

¹ I lift up my eyes to the hills—
where does my help come from?

² My help comes from the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

³ He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;

⁴ indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.

⁵ The LORD watches over you—
the LORD is your shade at your right hand;

⁶ the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.

⁷ The LORD will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;

⁸ the LORD will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

dear supang,

thank you so much for sharing these verses today... I really needed the encouragement today.. it was not a good day but these verses has renewed my hope in Abba Father...

Joe Cocker - You are so beautiful (nearly unplugged)

You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see
Your everything I hoped for
Your everything I need
You are so beautiful to me

Such joy and happiness you bring
Such joy and happiness you bring
Like a dream
A guiding light that shines in the night
Heavens gift to me
You are so beautiful to me

no one else comes close...

When we turn out the lights
The two of us alone together
Something's just not right
But girl you know that I would never ever let another's touch
Come between the two of us
Cause no one else will ever take your place

No one else comes close to you
No one makes me feel the way you do
You're so special girl, to me
And you'll always be, eternally
Everytime I hold you near
You always say the words I love to hear
Girl with just a touch, you can do so much

No one else comes close

And when I wake up to
The touch of your head on my shoulder
You're my dream come true
Oh, girl you know I'll always treasure
Every kiss, every day
I love you girl in every way
And I always will cause in my eyes

No one else comes close
No one else comes close

Damn I love you

(JOE)

....thanks j....

His strength is perfect....

I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength,
But sometimes I wonder what He can do through me;
No great success to show, No glory on my own,
Yet in my weakness He is there to let me know . . .

His strength is perfect when our strength is gone;
He’ll carry us when we can’t carry on.
Raised in His power, the weak become strong;
His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect.

We can only know
The power that He holds
When we truly see how deep our weakness goes;
His strength in us begins
Where ours comes to an end.
He hears our humble cry and proves again . . .

(Steven Curtis Chapman)

wonderful tonight...

It's late in the evening; she's wondering what clothes to wear.
She puts on her make-up and brushes her long blonde hair.
And then she asks me, "Do I look all right?"
And I say, "Yes, you look wonderful tonight."

We go to a party and everyone turns to see
This beautiful lady that's walking around with me.
And then she asks me, "Do you feel all right?"
And I say, "Yes, I feel wonderful tonight."

I feel wonderful because I see
The love light in your eyes.
And the wonder of it all
Is that you just don't realize how much I love you.

It's time to go home now and I've got an aching head,
So I give her the car keys and she helps me to bed.
And then I tell her, as I turn out the light,
I say, "My darling, you were wonderful tonight.
Oh my darling, you were wonderful tonight."

(Eric Clapton)

...he quietly sings this song into her ear...and they gently sway to the 'music'....
