this is an excerpt from today's devo "my utmost for his highest"
"We have no right to decide where we should be placed, or to have preconceived ideas as to what God is preparing us to do. God engineers everything; and wherever He places us, our one supreme goal should be to pour out our lives in wholehearted devotion to Him in that particular work. “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might . . .” (Ecclesiastes 9:10)"
pretty powerful! Things to think about... just thought I'd post it!! :D

Worth it all
Wow...
So I saw my friend post this to other friends of mine on facebook and decided to just check it out...cos i figured it'd probably be a good song. And, it's actually so powerful!
It actually sort of summarizes up my fave verse (Philippians 3:7-11) and puts it into a song!
It's actually somehting i've been thinking of a lot too! so it's just really interesting! Very encouraging to me!! I really like how God uses random things to remind me of Him!
Phil 3:7-11
7 But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.
Okay, so here's the song
Lyrics:
All I am Lord here before You
Reaching out for more
You're the promise never failing
You are my reward,
Jesus, You are my reward
I let go of all I have just to have all of You
And no matter what the cost I will follow You
Jesus everything I've lost I have found in You
When I finally reach the end I'll say
You are worth it all
There's no riches or earthly treasure
That will satisfy
Every longing is for You Jesus
Set this heart on fire
Oh, set this heart on fire
I let go of all I have just to have all of You
And no matter what the cost I will follow You
Jesus everything I've lost I have found in You
When I finally reach the end I'll say
You are worth it all
You are worth it all
When I'm there in Your glorious presence
Every knee is bowed before You
Hear the sound of heaven singing
You are worth it all
All the saints cry holy holy
Angels singing worthy worthy
Forever I will shout Your praises
You are worth it all
When I'm there in Your glorious presence
Every knee is bowed before You
Hear the sound of heaven singing
You are worth it all
All the saints cry holy holy
Angels singing worthy worthy
Forever I will shout Your praises
You are worth it all
You are worth it all
I let go of all I have just to have all of You
And no matter what the cost I will follow You
Jesus everything I've lost I have found in You
When I finally reach the end I'll say
I let go of all I have just to have all of You
And no matter what the cost I will follow You
Jesus everything I've lost I have found in You
When I finally reach the end I'll say
You are worth it all
You are worth it all
You are worth it all
Jesus, You're worth it all

Utmost
My Utmost for His Highest always gets me!! i don't read it everyday, but when I do read it, it convicts!!! today's devotion was the following
http://utmost.org/all-or-nothing/
I almsot didn't read it! LOL i clicked the link by accident! LOl but i was like, oh, its actually super short! LOL I might as well read it! so i did! and man...I feel convicted! basically, I guess there was something in my life that I'm supposed to do, but i kept putting it on the backburner cos the more I thought about it, the more it, I guess, emotionally hurt me! lol but this reminded me to just focus on God and let ur convictions just happen! and when obeying God, its not about emotions! When u are fully committed to Christ, you are giving Him your will - being obedient to Him alone...not ur heart or ur emotions! but yeah! like it says, i just need to focus on maintaining my intimate relationship with Him and when He wants me to do things, I will do them!
Jireh! :)
