on meekness

"Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth."

Matthew 5:5

Meekness is strength under control. It is also quiet confidence. The meek do not give in to the worldly pressures to conform. They do not perform merely to prove something. They are securely planted in God. Their only concern is that they may live a life pleasing to GOD. The meek understand their purpose in life. Their passion in life is simply to fulfill their destiny. God gladly entrusts these kind of people with great responsibility.

Reflection:

Quiet confidence, as a friend puts it, is "audience of ONE. Looks at the heart". First and foremost, we must strive on pleasing the Lord and not the world. If the world wants us to compromise our belief and purpose in life and conform to its desire, we must turn our back and follow God despite the insults that they will throw in our way.

Keep your focus on GOD and everything will fall in place. That's already been tried and tested!

i was telling God just the other day that i miss those times that He had made me cry with tears of joy and then yesterday i had that experience with Him again. But this time the tears of joy didn't come with an answered prayer.... it was totally different. He had me feel His presence, so overwhelming that it made me cry. I don't wanna sound too spiritual but He really flooded my heart with peace and joy and this quiet confidence that no matter what happens He's there.

GOD is a relational god. He wants us to experience HIM fully, everyday and every moment of our lives. There's nothing better than having HIM as your comrade.

I LOVE MY LORD!

one of the songs that really touches my heart

As The Deer

As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after thee
You alone are my hearts desire
And I long to worship thee

Chorus
You alone are my strength my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my hearts desire
And I long to worship thee

You're my friend and You are my brother,
Even though you are a king.
I love you more thank any other,
So much more than anything.

I want You more than gold or silver,
Only You can satisfy.
You alone are the real joy Giver,
And the apple of my eye.
