Make My Life A Sacrifice
What makes life good?
Hmmm... Well.. for me...
Life is good cos I am here in Melbourne where I like it so very much. I am studying the course that will lead me to the career I want. I have money in my bank account and food everyday. (Ok fine, sometimes too lazy to cook and eat.) I have more than enough clothes to wear. Basically I don't have to worry where my next meal comes from.
I have a wonderful daddy and mummy who are sponsoring me. (Yes, I do feel guilty at times.) I have a little sister who has been offering to buy me things. I have a roof over my head, a car (to drive to Springvale to buy Breadtop that I love so much.) I have 2 fat bunny rabbits. (Now where do they fit in.)
I have wonderful friends. Both here and back home. I have friends who are always there to encourage, to cheer me up, to hold me when I cry and tickle me when I least expect it (just to hear me squeal and yelp.)
But most importantly, I am happy because I have an almight God looking after me. I need not fear tomorrow cos I know tomorrow is in His hand.
I was talking to Sophie last night while sending her back about certain difficult situations in life where we cannot imagine or perceive what is to come. It was a serious talk, about worrying things. But amazingly, it really lifted my spirits cos I reiterated the facts I normally only know in my heart.
I know God loves me and I know He is in control. It is my greatest privilege to be used by God to do His work, to serve in His church, to interceed for others. At the end of it all, I know I am justified by His grace and made righteous in His name as such I do not worry about the judgement of Man. I know that He will always direct my paths and guide me. When I cry out for help He is always there. I know that even if everything in this world passes away, my God will still be there, holding me in the palm of His hand. That is my God.
Thank You Jesus, for Your love to me.
God is what makes me truly happy in this life. My strength, my shield, my provider, my guide, my fortress... the list is endless. And most important, my heavenly Father and my friend.
