Expectations

When you do not meet up to people's expectations, according to their own convenience, they say you've changed. 

But what if your personal change is really because of the change of priorities in your life? Does that make you any less you? Does that make you any more detestable? 

The ones who really knows what unconditional love is, are the ones who stick by your decisions in life through thick and thin (provided your decisions are really legit). And those who don't point fingers at you and accuse you of making silly decisions, criticizing you and mocking you. What love is it, when your decisions hinder his or her convenience and then he or she gets upset with you? 

Well, aren't we all still learning how to love. So let's not get upset but keep out from anger. Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools. 

What Does It Mean to Be Gospel-Centered

1. To be gospel-centered is first to do everything you do in reliance on blood-bought grace and promises.
2. To be gospel-centered is to do everything you do with a view of displaying the all-satisfying grace of God.
3. To be gospel-centered is to live so that you show the glory of God, treasuring above all things the One through whom grace comes.

All to You

Just to be by Your side, there is hope in my life, there is no greater freedom I'll find. 

Take my life, all that I have to give

Take my world, just inhabit all of it

Take my dreams, make me assuredly Yours

"

All that I am, all that I have,

I lay them down before You, O Lord,

All my regrets, all my acclaims,

The joy and the pain I'm making them Yours

Things in the past, things yet unseen,

Wishes and dreams that are yet to come true

All of my heart, all of my praise,

My heart and my hands are lifted to You

"

So blessed, so grateful.

Anyway, something really random and divine happened this evening. I thought it's very cool how God works. 

This is divine. Yes. I prayed and am still praying. If you're reading this and you believe in prayer, please pray with me for my friend and my friend's dad (:
