You rescued me Lord..

God gives hope
God revives dreams
Nothing will ever be too late
if you see from God's perspective

Standing upon the plane
of past future present
I can only see where my eyes can take me
But my Lord overlooks all things
And He shall direct my path
When I acknowledge Him in all my ways


God You are bringing me on the road to recovery
I know and I know and I can sense it in my heart
You care too much to let me stay this way
You care too much to let me stay the same

Lord I give You my world
Lord I give You my life
Your love is bringing me to greater heights
I need not go back to the same place again

I want to know You God

I want to know You God
You are a magnificent God
Above and beyond all that I know
It is You who gives all wisdom

God I can ask of You for this and that
But who would know better than God Himself
..He who holds the perfect plan:
"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you,
says the LORD,
thoughts of peace and not of evil,
to give you a future and a hope."

Your word is true, and You are faithful
Help me grow in greater understanding of You
I do not know a lot, and
I always grapple with the truth
Your ways are higher than my ways,
Your thoughts are higher than my thoughts
Lead me by the Spirit I pray,
Not my way but by Your way.
Amen.

reach out with love

"Are you persuaded you see more clearly than me?...Then treat me as you would desire to be treated yourself upon a change of circumstances. Point me out a better way than I have yet known. Show me it is so by plain proof of scripture. And if I linger in the path I have been accustomed to tread and am therefore unwilling to leave it, labor with me a little; take me by the hand and lead me as I am able to bear."

-John Wesley


..hearing this, it dawned upon me how impatient I had been. I had not yet learnt the art of empathy, and truly this is something I need to master. Labor a little, and to convince others as I would so wish to be convinced myself, in reaching out :)
