True self-worth, true beauty is seeing ourselves as God sees us, reflected in the mirror of His word. See Yourself As God Sees You.
God doesn't play dice. -- Albert Einstein
You Are Not An Accident
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all? --The Wicked Queen
"Fat, Ugly, Old, Worthless" --This is often what we think as we look in the mirror. There are days when we feel ugly no matter how we comb our hair or wear our clothes. There are days when we feel like mistakes dressing up as people. Criticizing ourselves on the outside is usually caused by the way we feel inside. When we measure ourselves by our physical appearance, we will always feel let down. No one can always be the fairest of them all. Slowly we are beginning to understand how our real glow comes from the inside. We are meeting people in recovery who aren't beauty contest winners on the outside but who shine because of their personalities and their positive energy. Lord, today let me accept myself as a lovely person, inside and out.
Your birth was not a mistake or mishap, and your life is not a fluke. Your parents may not have planned to have you but God planned your birth. He welcomed your birth. Long before your parents conceived you, God conceived you. He thought of you first. It is because of Him that you are living and breathing at this very moment. You are alive because God wanted to create you! 
Long before he laid down earth's foundations, he had us in mind, had settled on us as the focus of his love. -- Ephesians 1:4a
The Bible says, "The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me".-- Psalm 138:8a (NIV). It doesn't matter if your parents are good, bad or indifferent, God knew those two persons would make the customized you. You are God's handcrafted work of art - custom designed, a one-of-a-kind, original masterpiece.
We are better than we know. If we can be made to see it, perhaps for the rest of our lives, we will be unwilling to settle for less. You are a wonderful, capable human being worthy of love and happiness. You have a gift to give the world that can't be duplicated. No one else is exactly like you. The problem is, we don't believe it. We are used to thinking about all our negative qualities and become experts at putting ourselves down. We have a hard time believing and accepting our own goodness and gifts. When we have a negative attitude, only one person can change it - us. We have the power to choose to change our thinking - if we want to.
It takes a courageous person to risk getting positive and hopeful. You are at this website now looking for help and encouragement -- that is evidence enough that you have that courage. "Today let me believe I am better than I know."
Poem by Russell Kelfer --
You are who you are for a reason.
You're part of an intricate plan.
You're a precious and perfect unique design,
Called God's special woman or man.
You look like you look for a reason.
Our God made no mistake.
He knit you together within the womb,
You're just what he wanted to make.
The parents you had were the ones he chose,
And no matter how you may feel,
They were custom-designed with God's plan in mind,
And they bear the Master's seal.
No, that trauma you faced was not easy
And God wept that it hurt you so;
But it was allowed to shape your heart
So that into his likeness you'd grow.
You are who you are for a reason,
You've been formed by the Master's rod.
You are who you are, beloved.
Because there is a God!
Think about this when you look in the mirror and don't like what you see - God arranged EVERY detail of your body. He purposely chose every feature you have, your hair color, race, and your body shape! When I let this finally settle in my head, I didn't see all those ugly features and fat anymore. He custom-made your body just the way he wanted it! And He determined the natural talents you possess and the uniqueness of your personality.
What you are is God's gift to you;
What you do with yourself is your gift to God. -- Danish Proverb
"You know me inside and out, you know every bone in my body; You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit, how I was sculpted from nothing into something". -- Psalm 139:15 (Msg).
God never does anything accidentally, and He never makes mistakes! He has a reason for everything He creates. You were made as a special object of God's love. He made you so He could love you, and that's what you should build your life on. He is Love, and that is the essence of His character. There is perfect love in the fellowship of the Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), so God didn't need to create you! He wasn't lonely - He wanted to make you in order to express His love. God says, "I have carried you since you were born; I have taken care of you from your birth. Even when you are old, I will take care of you. I made you and will take care of you". --Isaiah 46:3-4 (NCV).
Think about that! You may be very sick right now, with no support from your family, thinking you are in a hole so deep you can never get out. You've been through various treatment programs and they didn't work - there's nothing left. I'm here to tell you that's not true! God is here for you now! He'll get you through this because He loves you so much, and has a very purpose for your life.
What is impossible with man, is possible with God, if you just let Him in! We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of our past. God turned a murderer named Moses into a leader, and a coward named Gideon into a courageous hero. So why can't He do the same for you? He can. He can do amazing things with the rest of your life.
God specializes in giving people like us a fresh start! Your past is past. Nothing can change that. Your are only hurting yourself with any bitterness. For your own sake, learn from this experience and then let it go. The Bible says, "To worry yourself to death with resentment would be a foolish, senseless thing to do." -- Job 5:2. It's time to forgive.
Contrast This With What the Enemy (Devil) Says (click on link)
Feeling hopless? Hold on! Wonderful changes are going to happen in your life as you begin to live it with God. He said "I know what I am planning for you...'I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future'" -- Jeremiah 29:11
You may feel that the future is out of control, impossible, but the Bible says "God...is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of - infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes." -- Ephesians 3:30
The Lord accepts us fully, knowing that we will need time and experience to work out our imperfections. Our failures do not surprise Him. If they surprise us, it's only because our expectations and opinions of ourselves is too high. The Lord gives us a standing in grace that gives us freedom to achieve healing over time. "Man is born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of God is glue" - Eugene O'Neill
I am not an accident. My life has purpose.
"I am your Creator: You were in my care even before you were born." -- Isaiah 44:2 (CEV)
Things do not change; we change. -- Henry David Thoreau
The Universe by nature is loving and supportive. Successful people know how to tap this support by enlisting the cooperation of others in order to achieve their goals. They also know that to receive support, they must first support themselves. An entrepreneur once told his fellow inventors, "Before others will believe in you, you must believe in yourself. Your faith in yourself will attract investment capital more than any business plan could." Unfortunately, the people who need the most support often have the hardest time asking for it.
Growing up in an environment where love was denied, they don't believe they deserve it. This is why it is important to affirm our basic worthiness. People want to extend themselves to you; it feels good to give. Encourage them to do so by believing in yourself and reaching out for what you want. The Universe will reach back to take your hand. Believe in yourself and others will believe in you. It cannot be otherwise.

From: Mr. Boateng Essien.
The Manager International
Commercial Bank Ghana,
First Light Branch
Accra, Ghana.
Attention:Please,
I got your contact during my search for a reliable, honest and a trustworthy person to entrust this huge transfer project with.
My name is Mr. Boateng Essien.I am the manager of the International Commercial Bank, First Light Branch, Accra Ghana. I am a Ghanaian, married with two kids.
I am writing to solicit for your assistance in the transfer of funds valued at US$5,300.000.00.
This fund is the excess of what my branch in which I am the Manager made as profit during the last annual audition. I have already submitted an approved end of the year report for the year 2006 to my head office in Accra here and they will never know of this excess. I have since then, placed this amount of US$5,300.000.00 in a suspense account without a beneficiary.
As an officer of the bank, I cannot directly be connected to this fund thus I am impelled to request for your assistance to receive this fund into your bank account. I intend to part 30% of this fund to you as compensation while 70% shall be for me. I do stress that there are practically no risk involved in this. It’s going to be a bank- to -bank transfer. All I need from you is to stand as the original depositor of the fund.
If you accept this offer, I will appreciate your timely response.
Please contact me with this email address:boateng_essien21@yahoo.com
Thanks,
Mr. Boateng Essien

Living in the Here and Now
By Renee Swope
John 5:19-20a, "The Son can do nothing by Himself; he can do only what He sees the Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son does also. For the Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does." (NIV)
Devotion:
I sat on the couch looking out the window thinking about the months ahead, wondering what that fall might hold. A lot had been happening in ministry - book developments, speaking engagements and great opportunities. My excitement, mixed with the fear of getting over committed, ignited a rapid firing of thoughts: Would I be able to do it all? Was God calling me to do it all? Was my ministry about to really take off?
Instead of worrying, I decided to start praying and wrote my questions in a notebook. "Lord, what should I say yes to? Where do you want me to spend my time? Please show me what you have planned for me this coming year."
I wanted God to give me a sneak peek into His calendar so I could adjust mine. Instead, I sensed Him telling me not to worry about tomorrow but to live in the hear and now. I think He may have even spelled it so I would be clear on the point of hearing.
I thought I'd been listening, but my prayers reflected that I wanted to know where to invest my efforts. God wanted my ears. He was more concerned about character than my calendar. Many times I'd sought God for the larger plans in life, convinced that if I figured out what He wanted me to do I could become the person He created me to be. Have you ever thought, "If only God would show me what job to take; what man to marry; what church to attend - then my life would be complete and I could serve Him with my whole heart"?
The problem is sometimes we get a glimpse of where He wants us to go and then assume we know how to get there. I've made that mistake many times and then wondered why I wasn't getting anywhere.
Jesus depended on His Father for the large and fine print written in His life plan. He listened closely and obeyed quickly. Today's verse reflects His absolute dependence: "The Son can do nothing by Himself; he can do only what He sees the Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son does also." (John 5:19)
Like Jesus, we can't fulfill God's purpose for our lives unless our ears are always listening. We can only discover God's calendar and calling when we live in the hear and now - listening for His voice and obeying here and now.
God, sometimes I have selective hearing. Many days I don't even ask what You think about my plans and choices. When I do, it's often because I am desperate and need to make a big decision. Then I get frustrated because I don't know what you are telling me. Could it be I have a hard time hearing You because I have grown unfamiliar with your voice? Today, I lean in to listen. Make my ears attentive and my heart willing to live in the hear and now. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Application Steps:
Take time to quiet your heart and your thoughts right now. Be still and acknowledge that He is God and you are not. Tell Him your desires for today and then ask Him to show you His. Give Him permission to interrupt your thoughts and agenda and lead you in a different direction if He wants to. Get ready for a day filled with adventure and companionship as you walk hand in hand with your Maker.
Reflections:
Do I listen for God's voice each day? Or do I assume I know what He wants me to do?
If God were to speak to me, would I recognize His voice?
Is my mind so full of worries (and the need for control) that my thoughts drown out the possibility of hearing God's thoughts?
Power Verses:
1 Samuel 3:10, "The LORD came and stood there, calling as at the other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" Then Samuel said, "Speak, for your servant is listening." (NIV)
Psalm 119:16, "I delight in your decrees; I will not neglect your word." (NIV)
John 14:31, "But the world must learn that I love the Father and that I do exactly what my Father has commanded me." (NIV)

Green Lights and Blue Skies
| He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber. |
| — Psalm 121:3 |
If I decided how my day were to go, I would never write in "crisis." I would never write, "Get sick" here, or "Have my tire go flat" there, or "Have this unexpected disaster take place." I would just write in all the good stuff in life. I would plan for everything to go my way. There would be no traffic on the freeways. It always would be green lights and blue skies.
But we are not in charge of our lives. God is. And He will let so-called "bad things" happen. But as time goes by, you will find that the significant things you learn in life did not come from the good times. They came from those times of crisis in which you were more dependent on God. Many of the bad times will, in retrospect, turn out to be good times, because it is through those so-called "bad times" that you will learn some of life's most important lessons.
The things we experience are not random events that float in and out of our lives. Rather, they are specific events that have been chosen by God and are timely and purposeful. This means the good things as well as the bad things. It means the good times we experience as well as the bad times.
When you put your faith in Jesus Christ, you come under His protective care. God is fully aware of everything that happens to you, and thankfully He is never asleep on the job. He pays careful attention to the smallest details of your life and is in complete in control of all circumstances that surround your life. He is aware of what you are going through.

will the cat reali "miss" the rat??
//
a cat went to the river, spend 1 hr near to a rat....
the rat could prove to be a good meal.
fat, filling, rich in nutrients & tasty meat.
however, it pains the cat to see the rat escaping from it's sight.
the cat tried all means to catch hold of this rat.
by force will be BAD, so the rat will be running in fear!
the cat tried all soft ways....but no avail.
the rat was not convinced to trust the cat by following him to a place filled with cheese.
the rat was skeptical. he wans more facts, to prove that the place has cheese.
the cat tried all the means, to illustrates. with newspaper proving the presence of cheese at the location....yet, the rat still didnt buy it.
finally, the rat left, and told the cat to let him "consider for a while" and get back to him.
the cat was devastated.
the cat blamed himself for being so lousy, unable to convince this rat and allow him to "trust" him!!!
the cat missed his sumptous meals.
the cat wasted 1hr of observing the rat.
the cat was devastated yet with a little hope.
hope that God will bring this rat back to agree in visiting this cheese place, after considering.
the cat trust in the Lord who has the best for him always.
never shortchanging him.

ASK & YOU SHALL RECEIVE
as i thought about all the happening news i received at work today, parts of the movie "evan almighty", which i watched just very recently, flashed through my thoughts.
a question was posed:
"if someone asks God for wisdom, would God give him wisdom or give him opportunities to be wise?"
another similar question followed:
"if someone asks God for a closer family, would God make the family closer or give the man opportunities for the family to bond?"
the more i thought, the more i really think that the news i got today was really an opportunity given from God.
*******************************************************
God could have easily allowed things to happen, but he dun.
he dun do it, not because he doesnt love us.
but because he loves us so much, that he wants us to grow. to get mould in character and attitude, to truly enjoy what we will be gog thr this journey.
that's why god gives us oppt to conquer.

yes!!! walton DID it again!!! :)
Thursday, September 06, 2007//
today morning at 10am, walton jus pre-launch another project in OTTAWA called Bankview :)
currently, walton has a total of 2,200 acres of land in ottawa & all being syndicated completely.
all our land are in the ottawa growth corridor! ottawa is blooming now & walton is involved with the concept planning!!
with the ottawa 20/20 master plan in place!
when walton buys land, the 1st pillar of strength - land acquisition team - always look for major key indicators.
(1) long term sustainability.
-we must be a DOMINANT player in the marketplace
-there must be EXISTING and PLANNINED infrastructure gog on in that place
-there must be PRO-growth mentality & Quality of life in the place
-there must be SUSTAINABLE populatoin growth
walton is already the largest north american landbanker in canada and esp OTTAWA.
we have 2200acres of land (2200football size field!!) we are a domainant player in the marketplace!
Ottawa Sun, july26 '2007 article & Ottawa Biz journal aug 7 '2007 also mentioned a lot of developements in the land walton has:
(1)mayor is currently mapping out ambitions for inter-regional commuter transit plan for EASTERN ontario!
for example, commuters can easily take this major transit link from toronto to ottawa instead of driving :)
(2)the inner ottawa which is inside the greenbelt is already VERY MASSIVELY saturated!! there is too little "room" left, hence govt are actively "pushing" populations to be JUST outside this greenbelt, which is where our land is :) very near to KANATA & Stillville.
(3)GO transit! the province's largest & most efficient commuter train is in fact EYEING on this proposal now :) for development!
Ottawa citizen, july 12 '2007
(1)hundreds of millions are TO BE spent to improve quality of life in ottawa by the govt! hence, this only implies that more and more population or migration will be attacted to this place. developers need land there, and WE (you and me) have the land! :)
(2) the city govt have been planning & projecting "VISION" for the future of ottawa
(3) there are already CURRENT measures & construction in place & in plan now, designed to improve transit, waste management, water provision, housing etc in ottawa now :)
Ottawa citizen, july 11 '2007
(1)there is a strong presence of solid regional economy keeping consumers optimistic in ottawa
(2)construction, permits, resales are all very strong in ottawa too
(3)CMHC (canada mortage housing community) has revised on their earlier predictions, and found the current statistics to be far greater than what is predicted!!!
14,300 units sold compared to 13,800 units last yr!!
contact me at: 97545658 or yanying8@gmail.com to find out more or to invest in this RARE oppt :)

Bankview, featuring approximately 75.97 acres with a total of 455 UDI is now launched.
The property is located approximately 23.8 km from downtown Ottawa, Ontario, the capital city of Canada.
Project Pricing: 1 Unit (1/6 acres) – C$10,000
Timeline: 4– 6 years
http://maps.google.com/maps
do go to google map, type in kanata and stittsville (hybrid mode), take a look at how saturated and massively populated & occupied with technology hub, as well as population! :)
type in 6687 richmond road, this is the location of the latest project BANKVIEW (As seen from attached). this is walton's land, in fact, from the inserts, all the "brown" colour land are all walton's!!!
take a look, BANKVIEW is very near to populated region at Richmond (left side) as well as very very very near to kanata & stittsville!
which is why ottawa is a blooming place & chances of exiting MUCH earlier is very high :)
take a look also at the attached OTTAWA suns articles which supports my previous email about the current "hyped up" about this great capital of canada!

eagle...a majesty creature.
//
something to share :)
my pastor once said.
do you know what is the world's most majesty bird creature?
yes you are right, none other than the eagle.
eagle is a majesty creature. they are the kings of kings. they never soar together with others. they are always alone, because that's how awesome eagle is.
they only prey on others, not hardly the vice versa.
BUT, interesting.
do you know, even though this eagle is so majesty, God create it in such a way that, a eagle MUST self-destruct itself periodically?
yes, self destruct, i didnt type wrongly.
it might use its beak to pluck out all its feathers. like how a snake removes its skin.
it might bang its beak against cliff to destruct his destructive "weapon" which is its beak.
the reason being, you may start pondering...
that is because, the eagle has to renew itself.
jus like sometimes, we wonder why God brought us into this "slump", into this "Dry desert", creating problems in our lives, our families to make us moan in pain.
in fact, God did not do it onto us. He allow it.
just like how a majesty eagle needs to self destruct to renew it's strength.
only during these difficult times, will we then submissively & humbly bow below this awesome king and acknowledge that we are nothing. and everything we are and have is His.
our sufficiency is in Him alone.
and that we like the eagle, renew our strength, faith & hope in this awesome God.
God is a jealous Father.
sometimes, human jus need to be "disciplined" so that we can place our focus and purpose in Him alone.
not the things of the world.
"for what is seen as gain is seen as loss..."

A Meaningful Life
| "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." |
| — Matthew 5:16 |
How should I live my life on this earth? What purpose does God have in mind for me, now that I have received His Son Jesus Christ into my heart?
These are questions every believer should ask, because if you have no goals or purpose, you can waste your life. As I have often said, if you aim at nothing, you are bound to hit it.
Many people simply want to prolong their lives, rather than try to find their purpose in life. Certainly medical science is helping us live longer lives. We can add years to our lives, but we cannot add life to our years. Should our primary goal be to prolong our lives, or should it be to live life to its fullest?
Jim Elliot was fresh out of college when he felt the call of God to go to the mission field. Tragically, Jim and four other young missionaries lost their lives in the jungles of Ecuador in an attempt to reach others with the gospel. It might seem like a terrible waste of life for such a young man with so much promise. But after his death, this entry was found in one of his journals: "I seek not a long life, but a full one, like you, Lord Jesus."
That is a good goal: To live a full life, a life with meaning and purpose. We don't know how long we will live—that is up to God. But life is not merely a matter of years. It is a matter of how we live. It is not the years that count, but what you do with those years. What kind of life are you living right now?

" I am sufficient for you...
//
yday, monday i skipped my corporate weekly meetings to attend a 1day orientation under NYC for the youth congress program.
i am representing the mentor of PLMGS under TCS.
corporate meetings are impt for me, cos that's the time when impt information could be disseminated.
but i chose to attend the orientation, cos i need a break from the prospecting, cold calling and the presentation to investors...
haha.
i need to diversify my energy to other ares of my life too.
mentorship to the youth could be a good one.
especially when i have been volunteering in PLMGS for service learning as well as to mentor them in their maths past years.
that 1 day orientation speaks a lot of me.
i think it reali bring back the purpose of life to me.
to influence and mentor to the lives.
creating positive impact in their lives.
it's not the material things of the world tat can last.
but the lives being impacted.
the exact same reason why i chose to enter into landbanking in walton.
cos it allows me to enter into the lives of the many ppl, to make an impact, a positive influence into their lives. to help and to love and to assist.
being a christian is never easy.
sunday after svc i met up with qy, and visited some issues again.
the area of insignificane. the area of pride.
yes O lord. i have an unwilling heart and full of pride.
i keep comparing and i refuse to accept failure or my inability to meet my expectations bcos i want to be somebody.
i want to be that somebody that ppl will remember, will know.
i want that little attention.
i want to excel, to find my significance in those area that i know i am good.
that is why, when i was young. i shine drawing, colouring competition, studies, wu shu, althetics, basketball, maths, loved by teachers.
loved my frds. good organisation, good presentation, good rapport etc etc.
never ending.
even when i am in church.
when i am working.
i still cant get out of the desire to excel.
yes, i haf an issue.
but i have been trying to overcome it.
pride.
like what qy said.
all these sucesses i have attained so far, even though i have been thanking and honouring God....
but deep down inside...i know.
i still account them to myself.
but i am too proud.
because i feel that i am somebody.
because i feel that i can do that with my own strength, ability and gift.
BUT IT IS WRONG.
especially today morning as i read the bible, God spoke to me again.
"our sufficiency comes from the Lord."
yes.
i was on the bus....and pondering...
the most contented man is one whom is sufficient in the Lord.
knowing that GOd will provide and sustain all his needs.
staying slim and pretty is good. having lots of money is desirable. having a handsome husband and baby is comforting. having a good career and high position in the organisation is assuring. being approval and acknowledgment from our parents and frds can be glorifying.
but.
can you be very sure that you can sustain and maintain them?
after you give birth, you might become fat and ugly. how?
what if your house got burnt? bank goes bust? lost money in investment like stocks and shares and properties and went bankrupt?
your husband is too handsome and start straying away?
you become too ugly and your husband left you?
your children is too naughty. rebellious. play traunt. sent to girls and boys home? have abortion? drugs?
what if you have a serious mistakes 1 day, corporation do not allow mistakes, and you are fired.
you are over qualified? you are too old to be hired in another company.
ppl are backstabbing you to climb up the corporate ladders.
your parents and frds around stop paying attention to you, when a greater "limelight" appears and draws all their attention away.
your parents and frds do not love you anymore as how they used to love you. cos they are human, they are imperfect beings. they have their ups and downs.
that's why. only God can satisfy us.
cos He is always constant.
always faithful.
always loving.
always providing.
always trusting.
always around.
always there for you and for me.

God above all else.
Saturday, September 01, 2007//
by Jon Walker
“We look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen. The things which are seen are temporal and the things which are not seen are eternal.” (1 Corinthians 4:18 NIV)
When life begins to squeeze us, what we truly believe is revealed through our attitudes and actions.
And, if the truth be told, most of us live by sight more than by the hope and certainty of our faith. It’s as if there were a long, thin line threaded throughout the realm of reality that divides the seen, the temporal, the things surrounding us, from the unseen and eternal. Shoved by our circumstances, we become distracted from the eternal and focus below the line – on those circumstances.
But God tells us repeatedly that we’re out of focus when we’re looking below the line. As Christians, our focus should be above, on the unseen, eternal kingdom of God. That doesn’t mean we should deny or repress what we see happening around us, but we must also be led by the Holy Spirit to look beyond the seen and temporal into the unseen and eternal.
You can see references to this line throughout the New Testament. As people approached Jesus, talking about their circumstances, he would say: “You’re looking for bread, but I am the living bread. If you eat of me, you’ll never go hungry again. You’re looking for a drink of water, but I am living water. If you drink from me, you’ll never thirst again.”
We can’t trust what we see, and when we’re focused below the line, we become trapped into thinking that what we see is truth. We become prisoners to our perceptions. Time and time again we see Jesus moving the focus from the seen to the unseen, from the temporal (the temporary!) to the eternal. He knew that for those who walk by faith, appearances are never the ultimate reality.
Are there parts of your life that have you discouraged or depressed, that have you wondering where God is? Consider this gentle reminder that God is present, even in the midst of your confusion and pain. He’s tapping you on the shoulder, reminding you to look up beyond the horizon into eternity.
So what does this mean?
· You can’t trust everything you see – God, Jesus, and heaven are reality, even if they are unseen for now. The things we see are temporary; the things we do not see are eternal. (1 Corinthians 4:18 NIV)
· Put life in perspective – Realize that your emotions will fail you, and stop allowing them lead you. When your perceptions begin to take you down a depressing path, challenge them. Could there be another way to see? To feel?
· When you become discouraged – Stop and ask God, “Am I seeing this situation through your eyes, or my own?” The Message paraphrase renders Colossians 3:2 this way: “Don't shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ – that's where the action is. See things from his perspective.”

the difference
//
i got up early one morning.
and rushed rite into the day.
i had so much to accomplish
that i didnt have time to pray
problems just tumbled abt me,
and heavier came each task.
"why doesnt God help me?"
i wondered,
He answered,"you didnt ask."
i wanted to see joy and beauty,
but the day toiled on grey and bleak,
i wondered why God didnt show me,
He said,"you didnt seek."
i tried to come into God's presence,
i used to come into God's presence,
i used all my keys at the lock
God gently and lovingly chided,
"my child, you didnt knock."
i woke up early this morning,
and passed before entering the day,
i had so much to accomplish
that i had to take time to pray.
************************************
sometimes ,when i wake up...
i have lots of fear.
i am fearful by the things that i am so concerned and caught up with.
sometimes, i feel so crippled, that i jus want to go back and sleep.
to escape from my fear.
but i know it's wrong.
i wish and long and desire, to see myself transformed.
so that when i wake up.
i will be SO FILLED with thanksgiving for what i already have.
that i am able to wake up to enjoy this life.
i will be SO FILLED with confidence, not in myself but with God who will manifest Himself in a greater measure.
O lOrd. search my heart.
transform me.
but you have given me a spirit to love. not to fear.
