~WHO COMPARES TO YOU?

Break me Lord, till there's no more of me for the world to see...
Fill me Lord, that its all of You the world will see....

Direct my eyes to see things through Your eyes...
My mind to be set on things that are above, rather than on things that are here on earth....
For that which is on earth is temporal, while that which is above is eternal (2nd Cor 4:18).

I broke down while leading worship in service today. Not because the worship was so good, but because for a moment, I was totally awed by the sovereignty of God, and how much He has put in us to declare life into our lives.

Shared a bit about what God did for mum last week. I really don't want to remember how weak her voice sounded when she told me she was in pains; talking about her bleeding (as a result of suspected tumor/fibroid?), her not been able to go to the Hospital for check-up coz she couldn't sit at a place for long, etc. I remember how confused I felt last week Thursday while I spoke to her on the phone, and how the weakness of her voice kept ringing in my ears for the rest of the day.

It's amazing how all we need to do is declare a thing in the Name of Jesus according to God's will, and it will be done. I remember how all I could do was type a few words: "Mum, I trust God to ease your pains and heal you completely. I love you so much mum, you mean a lot to me. Praying for you!", and how depressed I felt for the rest of the day....But the God I serve, He answers prayers. The bleeding stopped the next day, the pains were gone, and she could even travel (driving on her own). Glory be to God!!

How wouldn't I be moved at how amazing my God is? How couldn't I be awed at how Magnificent He is. Couldn't hold back the tears when I shared a bit of this story while I led worship today. Indeed my God is awesome.

I've not been the best I should be for Him. I've not exactly done the right things, but He still answers my prayers.

Lord, who compares to You?
