my walk

I met up with Alex Lam and he told me something really cool that deserves to be shared,

Prayer is like a sail.
The more you pray the bigger it gets!
Of course, you won’t move very fast with a small sail
for it only catches a little bit of wind,
But logic denotes that with a bigger sail,
you will catch more wind and move faster.
And God is like that wind that we’re trying to catch.
His wind is always there, always constant
Invisible, but flowing in our lives
But it’s up to us to pray and catch his wind in our sails.

Praying requires faith. And faith pleases God. And when we have faith in Him, God will invade our lives like a rushing wind.

Having a healthy prayer life makes all the difference in the world. I think I’ve posted like a million things about prayer over the last few months. Really when you find the time to pray and chat with our maker in Heaven, you’ll learn so much more.

So pray, pray and pray!

Befriended, befriended
by the King above all kings.
Surrendered, surrendered
to the Friend above all friends.

Invited, invited
deep into this mystery.
Delighted, delighted
by the wonders I have seen.

Chorus
This will be my story,
this will be my song.
You’ll always be my Savior,
Jesus, You will always have my heart.

Astounded, astounded
that Your gospel beckoned me.
Surrounded, surrounded,
but I’ve never been so free.

Determined, determined now
to live this life for You.
You’re so worthy; my greatest gift
would be the least You’re due.

I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

- John 15:15

Befriended, Surrendered, Invited, Delighted, Astounded, Surrounded, Determined.
What did I do to deserve this relationship with God?

I stay near the door.
I neither go too far in, nor stay too far out,
The door is the most important door in the world -
It is the door through which people walk when they find God.
Theree’s no use my going way inside, and staying there,
When so many are still outside and they, as much as I,
Crave to know where the door is.
And all that so many ever find
Is only the wall where a door ought to be.
They creep along the wall like blind people,
With outstretched, groping hands,
Feeling for a door, knowing there must be a door,
Yet they still never find it…
So I stay near the door.

The most tremendour thing in the world
Is for people to find that door - the door to God.
The most important thing anyone can do
Is to take hold of one of those blind, groping hands,
And to put it on the latch - the latch that only clicks
And opens to the person’s own touch.
People die outside that door, as starving beggars die
On cold nights in cruel cities in the dead of winter -
Die for the want of what is within their grasp.

They live, on the other side of it - live because they have found it.
Nothing else matters compared to helping them find it,
And open it, and walk in, and find Him…
So I stay near the door.

In the course of western thoughts, James Sire touches upon worldviews

Many people today would rather stick with their naturalism, (ie. evolution) for it still seems to be a decided improvement on the fabulous religion (Christianity) it rejected. Moreover, modern Christendom, with its hypocritical churches and its lack of compassion, is a poor testimony to the viability of theism. No, it is thought, that way will not do.

It’s sad, cause it’s true.
