Jesus,
Be the centre,
Be my song,
Be my light,
Jesus.
Be the fire in my heart
Be the wind in these sails
Be the reason that I live
Jesus, Jesus
The title of this page is taken from another blog, the reason why, you will know soon. Be the centre, that’s what we’ve always wanted, Jesus to be the centre of our lives as individuals and as a couple.
The song above, I’ve sang it before many times but it didn’t mean as much till we sang it again during VBS 2009, at our church (Vacation Bible School for kids). I was truly moved and didn’t “know” the meaning of the song till I heard the children sing it, full of passion, from the bottoms of their hearts.
Be the centre, be my hope, be my guide, be my song and be my light, putting God in the centre of it all means to put Him in the centre of it all, get it?? We both strive to have God in all that we do, since from the beginning before we even started anything (official) we made sure that God was okay with it, if you know what I mean. We struggled, she struggled a lot on her part, through it all we always said at the end if it’s Your will. We didn’t get a definite yes neither did we get a definite no. We fasted and prayed, and prayed even more. Then we decided together to give it a try, more than just a try really, to give it all.
Since then we’ve seen how God has planned it all, from our past experience and relationships till this day, we’ve learn our lessons, we’ve experience different parts of our lives, all so that we could happen. It just blows my mind just thinking of it, how He had planned it all.
Be the fire in my heart, be the wind in these sails, be the reason that I live. Let God be the passion, let Him be the wind that guides us and blows us along and let Him be the reason why we live. Today while doing my devotion God reminded me that we should be preparing for our eternal future and not set our eyes on earthly things that will fade away.
Even till today God is still the centre of it all from our families to ministries, to work, and to our relationship. We always consult Him whose thoughts are higher than our thoughts, whose ways are higher than our ways.
The bellow is taken from a friend’s blog and how Szu Li’s life and relationship has touched others,having God in the center of it all. Just taking a snippet from it, God bless.
*And hearing her “spill the beans” was quite different … it was not like a random, “I’ve found someone” or “I’ve gotten together with someone”. I don’t know, she was telling me how they met [in church] and they got attracted to each other and how it all started. She said it was a struggle for a while, but it’s been good with much prayer and guidance and that they’re still in the ‘getting to know each other’ stage … Then she said, “having someone to share makes a lot of difference. So am very, very grateful and blessed by God, ’cause He answered my prayers in the weirdest and out of the world way. Very, very blessed ’cause have been praying very long and God knows me extremely well when I see how He placed us together. My stand has always been, I rather not marry than to marry wrongly, out of desperation. It’s really true one … when we honor God and put God first in our lives, He will do the rest. I told God that, ‘Lord, I will not settle for less than the best you can give me, on my life partner’ and He promised me lo. Though I won’t have a husband who is rich and wealthy, but all the qualities that are important to me, [he] has it. We both know that we are God’s gift to each other, so we constantly remind each other not to take God and each other for granted.”
