. Count Your Blessings.]
Count Your Blessings.woah. just woah.
wendy was talking abt counting our blessings yesterday during choir prac, n woah. it's so true.
all my life i've seen my lack in tis, lack in tat... comparing myself wif others. but well, tis is one message tat touched me quite a bit. :)
emotional... well, grace grace, i still have it kept around me by Him, n may it always be tat way. :) tat joy tat never leaves or goes away, tat peace tat surrounds me, tat sense of being loved tat envelops me wherever i go. tat I Am e MOST beloved child of God. wahahaha.
physical, really, praise God for an above average body. one tat is agile, n perfectly functional, n one tat i actually am starting to like. beginning to realli accept myself as e way tat i am, a 'me' tat e Lord takes pleasure in making n molding. a 'me' tat He loves. hooya!! n just absolutely love e fact tat i can run so fast, n lift weights tat my compatriates around my weight category find impossible. all by His grace. :)
mentally, again, praise e Lord, for a brain tat's above above average... tat perhaps thinks too much about stuff, but well, cool in a sense, cos above e million of things tat shoot thru e hotwires within, His love n His wisdom is able to seep thru all tat traffic n affix itself in e pathways n put up lots of sign boards tat show The Way, The Truth, n The Light. always supported cross-shaped sign boards. never fail to get my attention. :p (k, just blabbering here. cos i hav tis philo tat cross-shaped stuff just draws ppls' attention. it's just e shape itself. n of cos, e symbolism tat it carries. :) )
relationship wise, i praise God for a family tat's still being kept together. thou there r so many unhappy times n so many hiccups, but well, it's still together. given e amount tat my family has went thru, realli, it's realli glory to God tat we r still together. n given our personalities, gosh, it can only be Him tat we r kept together. hee. :p n praise God for such wonderful friends n fellow brothers n sisters. wonderful ppl who keep me in check, who support me when i'm weak, who join hands wif me when i'm strong, who laughs, cries, bemoans, curse(oops) wif me. hee. suppers n dinners n lunches n breakfasts. k-box n macritchie n east coast n teh-tarek sessions n stayover conversations. practice, be it choir or sat band. CG sessions at ppls' places tat r so heartwarming n real. words said, looks exchanged, thoughts pronounced, emotions entwinement. all of which just wow me still, given e boy tat i was, recluse n withdrawn, alone n just... lonely. now blessed wif so so much. wonderful frens, wonderful leaders, wonderful shepherds, wonderful pastor!! God bless Him. wonderful brothers n sisters. wun want to spend one day wifout them. hallelujah.
n financially, thou i do still swim n wallow in the mires of deep shit... wahahaha, pardon my sarcastic poetic mood(musicians n singers r all eccentric by nature n well, tis side of me is surfacing at e moment la. :p). but well, I Am blessed. from life B.C.(before Christ) n after E.L.(Eternity Life), there's such a huge difference. i've been blessed from a state of being a real pauper wif only like a few dollars or a few cents in my wallet, to someone who can bless others. from someone who couldn't go for suppers or dinners wif CGs becos i was so poor, from a state of just accepting e fact tat i'll be gg hungry to being totally blessed wif food all around. wat can i say?? i'm just blessed. very blessed.
wat abt u?? how abt YOUR manifested blessings?? no?? totally wrecked?? totally M.I.A.??
well, not so, bro n sis. for u see, we hav e greatest Blesser... n He HAD given e greatest blessing. Jesus. n not trying to be spiritual or flaky, realli, He is our answer to everything. see His sufficiency in everything. see tat above all ur circumstances, He has promised us a life tat's blessed, enuf to be a blessing.
if u r poor, see Jesus' prosperity. gosh, He had a fund tat was managed by a thief, man... HE WAS BORN WIF 400 million dollars of assets being GIVEN to Him by UNKNOWN KINGS!!! trust me, He's rich. DAMN rich. n guess wat, He gave all tat up. not a single cent He took to e cross or grave. not even His underwear. everything was given tat we might have. receive.
if u r sick, see His health, His divine health. Jesus din catch a cold during e storm. He just caught a bigger problem, Peter. :p okok, being naughty. loved me... loved me...(in replacement of e words 'bad me...' initially. heehee.) see tat His was blessed wif so much health, tat He could minister tat to others. tat He could heal e multitudes. His Zoe Life. tat's wat u have.
if u r emotionally unstable, see His coolness n His calmness. firstly, i would like to say tat there's nothing wrong wif being unstable, i was there once. or twice... or maybe... ok, watever it is, not anymore. *bleah. wahahaha, i'm realli cranky. n it's before work!!! oh gosh... bless my boss n colleagues. wahahahaha. k, back to stability. His calmness when He spoke to e storms n floods. His coolness in quoting e bible still when e devil stood against Him for 40 days n nights on end. His relaxed mannerism in handling e pharisees n e O-si-wise-men who wanted to trial mary e prostitute. He was coolness n calmness personified man!! wah sey... steady bom bi bi k!?!?! so zhai!! n yeah, tat's who u r. yupyup. u!! u!! *points finger at u. dun see liao. u means u la. :)
so many other needs n wants. so many things tat we 'lack' in life. hey, we have all those man. all in Him. we have everything. realli. only know, e greatest blessers, r e greatest receivers, first.
give thanx in ALL circumstances. those who give thanks FIRSTLY see themselves as being called e receivers of His grace, n they accept it. n then, e circumstances fall in line to be. cos grace causes all things to abound to them. grace is e Gateway to Receive All Christ Endured. steady bo!?!?! woohoo!! my own version. wahahaha.
realli ppl. see tat you ARE e receivers of His grace, His love, His righteousness. you deserve all e blessings of Jesus. n trust me, e whole Heaven is quite enuf to handle watever 'lack' u r facing. only believe, n receive. there is no lack in His Zoe Life. oh, which happens to be now... YOURS.
count your blessings. n see tat you realli have been blessed... Beloveds.
:)
shalom, beloveds n receivers of His Grace.
