Every stage of life we walk, we discover more, we learn more. And that goes on and on....
It's a matter of discovering it early or late, with some experiences we will reach that point of maturation.
One life can touch many lives. A heartbeat can make a miracle. A breath can make a difference. And how many heartbeats and breaths do we have?
What do we think about ourselves? What is our value?
I discovered I can do more, more than I think I could. Not by my own strength, but by the ability and strength so graciously given. Not limited by boundaries, there's so much we can accomplish, so much we can establish.
Holding on to that faith knowing that when we fail and fall, there is support, there is grace, there is strength. What could possibly be too hard? If God is for us, who can be against us?
For only one reason would I stretch myself for something more. Only one. I just wanna push myself a little further, because I am so strongly convicted that I can do everything through him who gives me strength.
God, hear the longings of my heart, listen to the depths of it. This is my desire to serve You. I ask You to transform me in and out, through ups and downs, through high mountains and deep valleys. I know it is easy to say, but I don't want to just say empty talks. I know my choice will not be an easy journey, I know there will be hard testings, for there is a price to follow You. But even so, I pray that You will strengthen and give me the faith to trust and take up the cross. When my heart grows cold, warm it with Your love. When my eyes become blinded, unfold it with Your perfect grace. When my ears are not listening to You, speak through the clouds with Your gentle voice. When my paths are not straight, lead me by Your righteous hand. When the days are dark, light them with Your glory. When I'm drowning in the sea of doubts, assure me with Your promise. When I can see the road ahead, be my faith to take the step. When my flesh is weak, strengthen me like never before. When my spirit is tired, refill me with Your joy. I declare that my past, fears and pains shall not hinder me to move forward and serve You fully. I declare that my weaknesses will be a testimony of Your grace. I pray for courage and confidence to stand so firmly in You. I have only one life, and I don't wanna waste it. There are so much I know You have enabled me to do. Jesus, be the center of my life, my thinking and in everything I do. I want my life to honor You. Humble me so I may lift up Jesus and not myself. For all glory be to You, Jesus. Amen.
Jesus, You are my reason.
