Love and grace.

Grace is underserved blessings or kindness that is given. But we often overlook these blessings, for example how our parents slog to feed us everyday, or how we're granted beds to sleep on. We take them for granted. Those are mmm i would say simplified examples. But i realised that the joy of waking up everyday, of simply being able to talk to God, of simply finding times to sing to God is really God's grace to me. I thank God that He's helping me everyday to slowly find my place in camp, to slowly touch people's lives around me. I also thank God for a guitar and his prescence as i sing to him, coz there's nothing more enjoyable than singing to God (: It really fills my heart with a peace and joy which cannot be replaced(:

Love is a word talked about by many. But love is so easy to take but so difficult to give. So easily talked about. Some treat it as a prize, others like a conquest, some treat it as a temporary comfort, others seek it to satisfy a yearning in their hearts. But love is not about taking. But Love is giving. To be patient. To never be rude. To always trust. Always persevere. To be kind. To be caring. To be hopeful. To be forgiving. And it never fails. The truth is love is given and not something to be obtained. I'll never forget why i seek to learn to truly love others.
Its simply because you gave it to me first, especially when i needed it the most.

When i was blind, you found me,
when i was caught, you set me free,
Hanging onto the mercy that you gave me
I'll sing forever of the way you gave me
this life to live.

I wanna sing holy Saviour,
Great redeemer,
Lord of all the earth,
Humble hearler,
Magnificent Father,
I'll sing of your love forever.

In Tribute to my Father in Heaven, who has lead me so often when i was blind, who had given me light when i was in darkness. I just want to give everything i have to walk with you everyday (: Because there is really nothing that is this satisfying or this meaningful. Sometimes i think that i have lost small bits of me, but i realised that God i slowly moulding me and letting me see the rough edges in my soul. I'm unsure whether i'll make it, but in all things there is always a choice, to focus on your Giant( your problem) or on Your God. Which G would you choose? I'd definitely bet on my Provider.

thank you for always seeing me through.

"i'll always be with you "
Your words ever echo in my heart (:
