Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am yours

Somebody reminded me today – my smooth presentation on Friday can only be explained by His power at work. I mean, we only started rehearsing on the very day itself. We were almost rushing out the final PowerPoint after settling on certain issues. But I remembered that I prayed. Yes, He heard me.
Somebody reminded me today – that I am a child of God. Just like how a father only gives good things to his children, God gives me only the best. His best will take my patience and prayers, and it is worth it.
Somebody reminded me today – how much I have changed. No matter how small the changes may seem in the eyes of others, I know deep inside that it is His presence, which is forever in my life, that causes them.
“He comes to us, not to shield us from the harshness of the world but to give us the courage and strength to bear it; not to snatch us away from some miracles from the conflict of life, but to give us peace – His peace – in our hearts, by which we may be calmly steadfast while the conflict rages, and be able to bring to the torn world the healing that is peace.”
It takes grace to give godly correction; it takes greater grace to receive it.
Regardless of how we feel, our unity with Him is a fact that we must grasp in faith.
The lyrics seemed so distant, yet so close. As they flowed out of my mouth, I knew they came from my heart.
Empty and broken
As I was found
Yet Your touch
It comforts me
Crying and weeping
As I was seen
Yet Your heart
It contains me
You heal me
You soothe me
You restore me
You know me
You love me
You embrace me
