the time of singing has come!

天国好象宝贝藏在地里
人遇见了就把它藏起来
欢天喜地，欢欢喜喜
变卖了一切所有的
买了这块地

天国好象一颗贵重珍珠
人找到了，就为它下决心
欢天喜地，欢欢喜喜
变卖了一切所有的
买了这珍珠

我已得着基督
如同生命至宝
世上各样事物
转眼变成粪土

我已得着基督
如同生命至宝
脱去各样缠累
欢欢喜喜跟随

- 宝贝

Thank you, Jesus, for allowing me the opportunity to fight for what I know is right and good. At least I had the chance to do all that I could. Yes, the end-result is not what I had desired, but I know that it is enough, at least for now. I have wasted enough of my time pursuing after something for myself, and not for God. God was merciful enough to allow me the time and chance to do so. I guess He knew the outcome already, but still He stood by me as I worked hard for this. He was with me as I waited. He cried as I wept. "Why, O Child, do you want to subject yourself to this?" He must have been trying to tell me this so many times.

Thank you, Jesus, for Your patience with me. I really should not be wasting my life on the pursuit of the things of the world anymore. What is meant to be will be. What is not meant to be will never be. God is good; He knows the plans He have for me, plans of welfare, not of evil, plans of hope and a future.

I have decided to cast aside all of that which enchained me as I pursue Christ. Right now, I just want to grab hold of God and follow after Him joyfully. Let me look beyond the things of the world and understand that all these really do not matter; they are only temporary.

Let me see with Your eyes, understand with Your mind, work with Your hands, and love with Your heart. Let me not harbour hatred. Let me forget how my heart was pierced. Let me forget the past and strive on forward. I definitely have a future in You.

Let me remember this determination and not waver anymore.
