Indeed, what is my true treasure?
When I carefully look back at the couple of weeks that passed by, I see so many other things that take precedence in my life... The first thing I find myself doing in the morning, is opening the computer to check out what people have been doing or just to see what notifications there are. What does it say about what I find important in my life?
On one hand, I'm telling people constantly, to reconsider what they truly value in life - my classmates, the people in church and so on. But in my own life, I've not come to reconcile with this truth. When I look deep into my heart, I can only ask myself one question - where is God?
It is easy to hide what's on the inside by making everything on the outside look all nice and good. But God knows, He knows my heart, He knows my inner most thoughts, He knows everything that goes on and He knows everything that will soon come to pass. I can and must not allow myself to feel affirmed just by those around me; indeed there is much value in your leaders telling you areas that you have grown, but only my Lord truly knows what is happening and I am not blind to it. John 9:41 Jesus said to them, "If you were blind, you would have no guilt, but now that you say, 'We see,' your guilt remains."
Oh what a wretched man I am... Appearing to be one who truly treasures God, but deep inside, living a life only working to gratify my own sinful desires.
All the more Father, I thank You for the cross, the mighty cross. That when You died and rose again, not only did you take the punishment of Your wrath, but You also gave me Your righteousness that I may truly live as a child of God. For every small and big thing I do well, it is because of Your work in my life. I don't have to try to live differently, for just living faithfully with whatever I know and You have taught me, I am already different.
Now my prayer Lord, is to let my walk speak loud and these words of mine be true, that I will treasure You with my heart, might, mind and soul.
My life is in You Lord,
My strength is in You Lord,
My hope is in You Lord,
in You,
It's in You,
It's in You...
For You are the centre of my life,
Lord I respond with all I am,
You placed in me the song of
heaven's melody,
Your majesty,
I surrender all...
So let it stay true,
and let it endure,
That You will be glorified
worshipped and adored...
For You so loved the world,
that You gave Your only Son,
Love amazing so divine,
We will love You in return,
For this life that You give,
For this death that You have died,
Love amazing so divine,
We will love You in reply Lord..
Love demands my soul, my life, my all.
