Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
and watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
This is such a touching song! It made me tear because it really spoke to me this week. It's not about how much money we give to the poor, but how much of our hearts that we give even to the people whom we meet everyday. This week God really challenged me to come out of my comfort zone and give all of my heart to people, especially those who are lonely and have not received God's love. It's so difficult. Sometimes, I fear being too vulnerable to hurts if I love more. I fear losing out on the enjoyment I could receive if I gave up my time for someone who needs a friend. Im not someone who takes the initiative to meet with old time friends. I get tired too. I asked God when can I stop caring or loving someone, and He replied me "Till the day I die". The Lord reminded me of the great price He paid to come down to be with sinners like us. The Lord has not even stopped loving us from the beginning of time till now. And He assured me that He would not withhold any good things from me if I choose to step out of my comfort zone. What a wonderful Saviour I serve...!
I stayed over in Weiling's house on Tuesday night. It was such a head-knocking time for me. God used Weiling to teach me on the lesson of loving the unloveable. This girl has such a compassionate heart for people! And she is so teachable. Seriously, the people whom I find hard to love in class, Weiling has been befriending them and listening to them. I was really put to shame and yet at the same time, inspired by her all over again. The things that she told me about my classmates really made me see them in a different light. Im sorry Lord when I have not loved others the way you loved me, when I selfishly keep all Your love for myself. And I thank You for awakening me again.
