Thank You

How do I say thank You, Lord. For the way that You love and the way that You come

You don't have to come

But You always do

You change the whole room, and fill my heart. Not of stone but flesh.

How do I say thank You, Lord

For the life that You gave and my cross that You bore

For the love You poured out, to bind the brokenhearted, to set the captives free, to release from darkness for the prisoners, to comfort all who mourn and provide for those who grieve, to bestow a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. 

You walk through all my walls, conquered my shame, stepped into my past and 

fill my world with grace

You didn't have to come

But You wanted to

I say Thank You.

There were times that were hard for me to praise and worship, and I doubted your presence in the midst of my pain. Just like the very words of King David, at his defeated moment, he doubted, he wrestled but yet he still have faith. 

"How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever?

    How long will you hide your face from me?

 How long must I wrestle with my thoughts

    and day after day have sorrow in my heart?

    How long will my enemy triumph over me?

 Look on me and answer, Lord my God.

    Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death,

 and my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,”

    and my foes will rejoice when I fall.

 But I trust in your unfailing love;

    my heart rejoices in your salvation.

 I will sing the Lord’s praise,

    for he has been good to me."
Psalm 13

To praise, because it brings me to a point of surrender and trust. Even when I do not understand, but I know that He is good, and He is still a sovereign God in the midst of all these. 

I know You're here with me.
For a moment I thought my own fears, sorrows and pain will drown me, but Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You told me who I am, a child of God, and not a slave to fear. To be a confident daughter, not because of what I've done, but because of what You've done. 

I look forward to that day when I see all that You have for me. 

When I see You face to face, there I am, surrounded by Your grace.
All my fears swept away in the light of Your embrace
Where Your love is all I need, and forever I am free.


I was told by a brother recently, that we do not have to see God face to face till then can we experience His healing and restoring power. We can claim it now here on Earth, and everything will be okay, here on Earth.
And I do believe in that. But at the moment there was no response from me, looking down and letting out a soft sigh, a mixture of sadness and hopefulness altogether.
cause I know here on Earth, is not all about happiness, and not every situation has a happy ending perceived by the world.
Yet, i hold on to the truth that there is hope, and all is well and will be well with Jesus.


There are some pain and scar that will always be there. It is not true that time heals, only God does. Some pain will only be completely gone when we see Him on that day.
Take a man who has been the slave of some sin. The evil will not cease to tempt, nor will the effects of the past on character be annihilated. ‘Whatsoever a man sow, that shall he also reap,’ remains true. In many ways there will be permanent consequences. There will remain the scars of old wounds; old sores will be ready to burst forth afresh. The great outlines of character do remain.

However, Christ gave us hope. 

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more,
neither shall there be anguish nor grief nor pain anymore.
He said, “I am making everything new!”
Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

I pretty sure Jesus said this with great conviction, and would want us to proclaim it. All things are changed if we are changed. They are the same old things, but seen in a new light, used for new purposes, disclosing new relations and powers. Earth becomes a school and discipline for heaven. The world is different to a blind man when cured, or to a deaf one, there are new sights for the one, new sounds for the other.


All this is true in the measure in which we live in union with Christ.
So no man need despair, nor think, ‘I cannot mend now.’
You and I may have tried and been defeated a thousand times. But still victory is possible, not without effort and sore conflict, but still possible. There is hope for all, and this hope can only be found in Christ.

No weeping or suffering no hurt or pain

You hold me now

No darkness no sick or lame

No hiding You hold me now

You hold me now

In this life I will stand through my joy and my pain

Knowing there's a greater day

There's a hope that never fails

Where Your Name is lifted high

And forever praises rise

For the glory of Your Name

I'm believing for the day

~ You hold me now- Hill song

For eternity, all my heart will give

all the glory to Your Name
