He consumes me with the fire of His love.

The words of this song really spells out what I feel about my King, my Father...

Every time I open up the bible, I see new things I have never noticed before and passages that I've read before seem to have a new meaning... All that treasure, I had never noticed before... like a consuming fire fanning into flames creating a new passion for His name (from another praise song that really touches deep within).

I was telling Ian the other day, the deeper I venture into letting go and letting Him... the more some worldly goals no longer matter. Yes I still want to write scripts and do films... but more than that, I want to serve Him with what he has given me- my talents... God forbid that i should waste them on materialistic pursuits instead of using them on promoting His Kingdom, His name.

How true this verse of the song:

You've given me though I deserve nothing
Everything I have,I owe it all to You

With each new day, I realise that what I have in this world are
blessings from Him... there is no such thing as luck. No such thing
as astrology or fate. Just blessings and leaps of faith... trusting
Him, building that amazing relationship with the true Majesty...
El Shaddai himself.... the rest are just shifitng sand. He is the
only rock that has stood firm in my life from the beginning and He will
be there till the end. Indeed, boyfriends and crushes aside...
Jesus will always be my first love...

I remember singing to Him all alone in the school chapel when it
felt like i had not a friend in the world...

I love you Lord
And I lift my voice
To worship you
Oh my soul rejoice!
Take joy my King
In what you hear
May it be a sweet sweet sound
In your ear...

No one would understand or accept me except Him.

He held out his hands to me, embraced me in His love and gave me the
solace and rest I sought... from the politics of a convent school
that seemed to teem with girls that shared the herd mentality and hurt
another to please themselves.

I was very dark and very alone then... but He showed me the way back
to Him again.

Jesus never ostracizes or bitches or hurts...
Our broken hearts are met with only grace and compassion in Him who
heals and loves unfailingly.

We can run and hide away from Him or fly beyond the horizon and still be
overtaken by his amazing love for us... becauseit is so great, it covers
us no matter where we are, regardless of the time of day... He is always
there.
