"Give You Glory"
We have raised a thousand voices
Just to lift Your holy name
And we will raise thousands more
To sing of Your beauty in this place
Well none can even fathom
No not one define Your worth
As we marvel in Your presence
To the ends of the earth.
We give You glory,
Lifting up our hands and singing holy,
You alone are worthy
We just want to touch Your heart, Lord, touch Your heart
Glory, lifting up our voice and singing holy,
You alone are worthy
We just want to touch Your heart, Lord, touch Your heart
As we fall down before You
With our willing hearts we seek
In the greatness of Your glory
It's so hard to even speak
There is nothing we can offer
No nothing can repay
So we give You all our praises
And lift our voice to sing
We give You glory,
Lifting up our hands and singing holy,
You alone are worthy
We just want to touch Your heart, Lord, touch Your heart
Glory, lifting up our voice and singing holy,
You alone are worthy
We just want to touch Your heart, Lord, touch Your heart
Our hope is drenched in You
Our faith has been renewed
We trust in Your every word
Nothing else can even measure up to You.
We give You glory,
Lifting up our hands and singing holy,
You alone are worthy
We just want to touch Your heart, Lord, touch Your heart
Glory, lifting up our voice and singing holy,
You alone are worthy
We just want to touch Your heart, Lord, touch Your heart

SONG ....
There's a world of difference when faith is in a heart
It stands out like sunlight
Life becomes so dark
And when those around me ask me why
I dare to dream
Or why I love or why sing
My answer is You
My answer is You
You're the hope that my heart is holding on to
Skeptics won't understand
Íe's strange from the world's point of view
My answer is You
They might find it incredible to belive what I can't see
They might think it's foolish
Or even say it's weak
I want to live my life so differently because of faith
If it causes them to question, for me to say
My answer is You
My answer is You
You're the hope that my heart is holding on to
Skeptics won't understand
Íe's strange from the world's point of view
My answer is You
You're the reason I'm alive
For every good thing in my life
My answer is You
My answer is You
You're the hope that my heart is holding on to
Skeptics won't understand
It's strange from the world's point of view
But my answer is plain and it's simple, Lord
My answer is You

when hard time comes ...
2008/01/21
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. (2 Corinthians 4:8-12, NIV)
======= ===== ====
We are jars of clay, chipped and blemished, fragile by God’s design in order to show the glorious light of God shining through our cracks and crevices. People should look at us and say, “What’s this? That plain jar of clay isn’t creating such a glorious light; it must be the light of heaven contained within. The peace and joy and love I see in that light must be from God.”
And so our older brother Paul says we can rest assured that our hardships are not meant to defeat us. God is still at work in our lives, even if we’re unable to see his hand at work.
We may be hard pressed, yet our hope in God keeps us from being crushed; perplexed, yet our hope in God keeps us from despair; persecuted, yet our hope in God tells us we’re not abandoned; struck down, yet our God keeps us from being destroyed. We are at the crossroads where the street called “When You Can’t See God’s Hand” intersects with the avenue of “Then Trust God’s Heart.”
And God says his heart is not to hurt us, but to help us as we journey back to heavenly wholeness with him. His good plan for us doesn’t mean we won’t be hard pressed, perplexed, persecuted, or struck down. It means we can remain filled with hope, even as we pick ourselves up off the ground.
God’s plan is that every time we face these hardships, we learn to trust God a little bit more, so that every time the hardships press in, we can be a little stronger. God is our strength, not our own ability to carry the weight.
God doesn’t ask us to “work up” this hope – pretending we’re joyful when our whole world is collapsing around us. Rather, our hardships allow the Holy Spirit to work within us, developing joy and peace – teaching us to stop trusting in our own understanding and instead to trust that God is at work within and around our lives.
Paul encourages us to press on toward Christ-likeness. In order to be like Jesus, however, we must be men and women acquainted with sorrow, just like Lord Jesus, who hard pressed, perplexed, persecuted, and struck down, only to rise again.
In him we place our hope, and it is a hope that will not disappoint.
What does this mean?
· See your problems as leading you to be more like Jesus – Ask God to help you see how your problems are helping you grow toward Christ-likeness. Ask God to show you how your hardships are working for you and not against you. Ask him to help you embrace a peace that passes all understanding.
· Skip the ‘try harder’ mentality – The Christian walk is difficult enough without beating ourselves up about the need to “try harder.” Rest in Christ and allow him to give you peace, even as you face hardship. Your ability to “try harder” pales in comparison to Jesus’ ability to be your strength in the midst of trouble. By this, you will discover that God is strongest in your moments of weakness.

devotion : Your Weakness, God’s Glory
i know .. he is a great counselor .. and a good friend .. thx ..
Your Weakness, God’s Glory
2008/01/17
For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (2 Corinthians 4:6-7 NIV)
--- --- ---
In the same way God spoke light into the darkness at creation, today he speaks light into the darkness of our hearts. He fills us with the light of the Holy Spirit, allowing us to see the face of Christ with greater clarity as he transforms us into the likeness of Christ. We carry God’s glory, and it shines from us so all the world can see that our God is an awesome God.
The glory that shines from within us is not our own; it is God’s glory and his alone. Our brother, Paul, explains that we are jars of clay – fragile, chipped, imperfect – exactly as God designed us to be. In this way, others see the “all-surpassing power” of God through our weakened frames and shattered lives. We are monuments of God’s grace with an inscription written in God’s own hand: “Within this earthen container, the One True God is at work.”
Yet we try to put our own “shine” on our simple jars of clay. We maneuver and posture to make our jars look better. We decorate the outside with ecclesiastical “vain glories” that we call image, power, position, wealth. Quite simply, we try to make ourselves appear more than what we are, failing to grasp that God loves us just for who we are – his own creations.
When we try to make it look like we are the ones who shine, we inevitably reveal our “easily surpassable power.” Yet this gives us greater understanding that in our weakness, God is strong. His light shines through even greater; his strength is revealed when we acknowledge we are God’s jars of clay.
What does this mean?
· See your weaknesses as a gift – You are God’s jar of clay, designed exactly the way he intended. Your weaknesses are an opportunity for God’s light to shine even brighter from within you.
· Stop trying to make yourself look good – Just be who you are, a frail human designed by God to reveal his glory. Frankly, we could use a whole lot more authenticity in the church. If you’re hurt, say it; if you’re angry, resolve it; if you’re in love; show it; if you’ve made a mistake, confess it; if you’re in need, reveal it.
· Don’t make others think they have to appear good – Accept each other in love, just as Christ accepted you – a jar of clay with chips and cracks.
· Magnify the glory of God – Magnify the glory of God by simply being you and letting him shine through. Magnify the glory of God in others, instead of magnifying their weaknesses.

a good start ..and a sad story ..
i really like my course a lot of hilarious people there they always like to bully the girls ..
and have lunch the 2nd time in school .. wow . the rice is so expensive ..
pretty much like start mixing with my friends .. they really kind .. sometimes they are so mean and i'm so innocent and blur ..do not understand the 'jokes' and the 'words ' they used ..haaha. is ok .. is just a lot of crap ..
nowadays i really do not have quiet time to really meditate myself .... and my exam will be next week .. nightmare ..
not seems quite happy tonight ... i am a fast boiled water .. lose my temper tonight ..argh ..
so why i used to living in my own world .. really want to move to a place where JUST ME there and other people that they do not know me .. then i will know .. i will start learning to 'growth' ..
i'm trying to grumbling or complaint my life .. just i need a lot of space for me to really know 'who i am' and 'who i want to be' .. get what i mean ??
is not my family are bad .. i feel proud to have these family .. and i'm too lucky .. maybe because of that i take it for granted ... appreciate .. and start think hard what i need to do .. and pray hard ..ask for his help and guidance ..
because maybe i am not feel like i'm unique or special .. sometimes i will ask :'' why , me this useless person are in this world , and why i'm blessed ? i can't do it , i can not live in this world'' ..i'm a person that when i have done something wrong and i can't forgive what i have done and really do not know myself and i do not want to know who i am .... because i do not want to know how bad i am .
like now .. walking .. i was lost in the middle of the road ... is really tough in all the trials and circumstances .. but i know .. who are there always with me ..
because '' during your times of trial and suffering , when you see only one set of footprints , that's when I WAS CARRYING YOU''

Transformation ..
especially friendship and self-esteem ..everything happens for a great reason ..
i know His is exist .... in life . there are many people not really treat you nice .. but when we really think hard ..what is the reason ??? one might know how you feel about her ..maybe u just try to pretend like you like her so much ..but actually not .. trying to criticize behind her back ...THAT"S totally BAD .. sometimes you really Met that person .. so i want to treat everyone nicely .. from my heart not because I have to do that .. IF you are a REFLECTOR ..one will see Him through the attitude or the way that you act , you do not have to put nice words at your mouth ...I pray hard .. for wisdom and holy spirit to guide my way .. maybe life is just about choices .. you have the right to choose who you want to be .. what is your purpose ...
i am a bored person .. i want to change my personality .. i do not like boredom actually .. so do not lose heart ..keep praying and ask .. Love ..Faith and Hope ..
i'll try to have quiet time for these few day .. to activate my mind ... really think hard about the priority of life ..go to the beach find a place i can meditate ..and LISTEN to the natural songs ..
and Listen , Listen ... read book and bible ..
Trust that where God guides, he provides – If you are where God wants you to be, he will provide. It may not be in the way you expect, and it may not fit into your timetable. But his plans for you are not for failure; they are for your own good. (Jeremiah 29:11)
