Even Though I forget, But He doesn't!

How could I forget an ending of a song?

I've been asking this question while going home from practice. I can't remember how the "Worthy is the Lamb" song should end. Pity me, I've been trying hard to remember the ending and I decided to listen to it one more time in Youtube and found out that indeed, I ended badly during practice.

I know I should do better, I'm a seasoned worship leader. But there are times that I'm at a point wherein I tried my best, but my best seems to be pretty much worst that before.

With my current situation, it seems that the Lord is telling me to trust Him instead of what I know or don't know of. I'm pretty much feeling perplexed but God seems aware of my failure and still gets the feeling of being blessed to know He knows me too well - That even though I forget, He doesn't.

Now, I trust Him for tomorrow. I trust Him all the more how he will work in my limitations. I know He will, He does, Amen.

Come to think of it, the song shares a great message to my heart. The lyrics itself share -

Thank You for the cross Lord
Thank You for the price You paid
Bearing all my sin and shame
In love You came
And gave amazing grace

Thank You for this love Lord
Thank You for the nail pierced hands
Washed me in Your cleansing flow
Now all I know
Your forgiveness and embrace

Worthy is the Lamb
Seated on the throne
Crown You now with many crowns
You reign victorious
High and lifted up
Jesus Son of God
The Darling of Heaven crucified
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb

Last time:
Thank You for the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb

Indeed, I myself is not a perfect person but because of Christ, I am able to declare "He is indeed Worthy, Worthy is the Lamb!"

Abba Father

"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God--" - John 1:12

This is one of my favorite verses in the bible. It speaks of who I am and how I should relate to HIM.

Many people would settle for a God who is like the big brother, the "no face" guy who gives random advices to people shared through a small kid everyone seems to love but I'd much prefer the ONE stated in this particular verse - Father.

I have nothing against such telenovelas, but sensationalism over Christ as big brother and not a Father and Lord seems to be way underated.

Let's get this straight - Christ came to give us life, his Father, the is Creator and Lord of everything but He is also to be called "Abba" which basically means Father in english.

No offense to the creator of the show, but He has to get his facts straight.

I know Christ came into this world for me, and I am created wonderfully and has been given the right to become His child - not as an act of the will or by virtue by blood, He gave it to me as a right brought about through the cross.

Although I can consider him as brother, I would prefer him to be called as "dad", this brings greater authority than just being a sibling.

Christmas Gift

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." - Isaiah 9:5-7 

I love Christmas, it's the time of the year where everyone seems to be friendly and loving to one another. To a child's eyes, Christmas is an opportunity to get new toys and  extra coins to play in the internet.

Children of every nationality definitely brings excitement to this season we call Christmas. 

Christmas is the time of the year where we can also reflect and thank the Lord for a very special gift to humanity - the gift of a Savior. His name is Jesus, the name  that brings freedom, peace and redemption to our broken lives.

As we draw near to the season everyone seems to be expecting, let us share the greatest gift of all to our friends and families - Jesus.

It was Christmas of 1998 that I accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as my savior and Lord. It was a precious gift I treasure even now. And every year, I reflect and thank the Lord for the people God has brought to me so I can have this special gift.

I pray, that you may share your faith to these friends and families of yours, it will be a great gift to the Lord whom we are celebrating in this special event.

God bless!
