Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king
the youths whom Jesus loves

Our sins are our qualifications for going to the throne of Grace.The difference between the holy textbook and school textbooks:
The Word enters our hearts(and stays there), while other info enters our brains(and sometimes leaves there as well). :p(no wonder studying seems harder yeah...)
We're gonna embrace studying!
Have a blessed week:)

"But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy and not sacrifice.’ For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” -Matt 9:13I came across this in the bible and decided to look it up, cause I couldn't understand it. Then God led me to this website... http://epistle.us/articles/mercy.html
I thought it was really sweet and lovely:)
A brief summary:
- The Pharisees were the self-professed "perfect" people. They served God, but in all the wrong ways. They led their lives to perfection, observing every law and commandment, believing to the extent that they were more perfect than Jesus lor. They decided that they were "righteous" enough to not need Christ's forgiveness and love.
- Matthew was a tax collector. Tax collectors were seen as sinners for they sometimes raised the taxes or stole for themselves. But Jesus chose to eat with the tax collectors and sinners. He came for the sinners. He came to save those people who acknowledged their spiritual poverty, and those who were hungry for spiritual knowledge; those who yearned to just receive from the abundance of God's grace. Oh it's also in Hosea 6:6...
"For I desire mercy and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings."Because we are sinners made righteous by the blood of Jesus;
not by worth(ours),
but by birth(Jesus). Jesus came specially for us. He doesn't desire any sacrifice from us, not to follow the laws to perfection, but to just let Him love us and yield to Him completely, to just get to know God more and more with each passing day of our lives. Jesus said, "For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." It's such a blessed and easy life we're leading with Jesus, yeah... We are so loved lor:)
Sometimes, I feel that when I get to know my friends more and more, we start to see more of their strengths and their weaknesses as well. I rmb Coach Pat saying before that the one closest to you just gets the most rubbish from you... But each day, as we get closer to God with each coming day, we just get to see more and more of His strengths and goodness. Because our God is perfect. He never fails and He has no weaknesses. He's not going to get angry with us, reprimand us, or nag at us, even if we just make mistakes in life. Because to Him, we're like Jesus. We're every bit as beautiful and awesome as Jesus. And He loves us ALOT ALOT ALOT! And I thank God for this preferential treatment in our lives:)
Daddy loves us loads:)
