Letting Go. Set your heart on glory

It's easy to make a mistake here. ”if God gave it to me, ” we say ”it’s mine. I can do what I want with it.” No. The truth is that it is ours to thank Him for and ours to offer back to Him, ours to relinquish, ours to lose, ours to let go of- if we want to find our true selves, it we want real Life, if our hearts are set on glory. Mat 10:39 (He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.)

It takes many letting go to reach that measure of the fulness of Christ. 

An acorn is a marvelous little thing designed for its purpose. It contains the grand glory of an oak tree, and God’s intention when he made the acorn was the oak tree. 

The more you look at the oak tree and perceive God’s purpose in your life, the less terrible the losses /dying to self seem. 

God’s ultimate plan was as far beyond our imaginings as the oak tree is from the acorn’s imaginings. The acorn does what it was made to do, without perstering the maker with questions about when and how and why. 

if any man will let himself be lost for my sake, he will fine his true self. When will we find it? The answer is, Trust me. 
How will we find it? The answer again is, Trust me. 
Why must I let myself be lost? The answer is, look at the acorn and trust me. 

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose - Jim Elliot

God always gives His best to those who leave the choice with him. - Jim Elliot 

Lord, make my way prosperous not that I achieve high station, but that my life be an exhibit to the value of knowing God.”― Jim Elliot


Wherever you are, be all there! Live to the hilt every situation you believe to be the will of God.”
― Jim Elliot


“The will of God is always a bigger thing than we bargain for, but we must believe that whatever it involves, it is good, acceptable and perfect.”― Jim Elliot

”It's hard to stir a parked car” ― Jim Elliot


Christ not only died for all, he died for each.

ride the rainbow

"Thirty years ago, my colleagues, younger and more dreamy eyed, settled the words of our pledge. We did not focus our minds on our navels or we would have missed the rainbow in the sky. We pursued that rainbow and that was how we came to build today’s Singapore" "There is a glorious rainbow that beckons those with the spirit of adventure. And there are rich findings at the end of that rainbow." "To the young and the not too old, I say look at the horizon, find that rainbow, go ride it. Not all will be rich; quite a few will find a vein of gold but all who pursue that rainbow will have a joyous and exhilarating ride and some profit." Mr Lee Kuan Yew Looking at Lee Kuan Yew, how he gave up his life for the good of others, for the generation and future one to come to have a better life. How he sees the value of what he is doing.. Also reminded of Jesus Christ, how he gave up his life, sacrifice for us when he did no wrong, to that he may be sin ...

The heart of worship (Christian Artist)

Humbled by this experience to dance on stage for the audience of One, ministering to others through dance. Thank You Lord, all glory to you.  That first step of obedience is the toughest. I know full well someone else could do a better job than me, and know that it is by the grace of God that I can be involved in His kingdom, serving Him and ministering to others.  When I was doubting my abilities, secretly hoping that the leader will change his mind and get someone else to do it, God never stop searching my heart and tells me who am I in Him, that it is indeed all about Him and not me. He bring me back to this very reason of why I started dancing for Him. "I'll bring you more than a dance,  for a dance in itself, is not what you've required. You searched much deeper within,  through the way things appear,  You're looking into my heart."  (heart of worship) The world looks at efficiency and capability, but God looks at the hear...
