Everyone needs compassion
And love that never fails
Let mercy fall on me
When everyone needs forgiveness
Kindness of the Saviour
The Hope of the nation
Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as you find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything that i believe in
Now i surrender
Shine a light in and
let the whole world see
Singing, for the glory of the risen king
Jesus, Shine a light and
let the whole world see
Singing for the glory of the risen king

When God tested Abraham,
"
You have not withheld from me, your son, your only son." --Genesis 22:12
It brings us to an important lesson,
are we willing to give our all to Him, the one who provided and gave us all that we have right now?
- We must surrender our all to Christ.
- Failures or losses in life should be seen as God's will, and we should trust Him to provide the necessary.
Can we entrust everything we have to God, and never waver in our faith?
We should commit ourselves to Him each and every day, thanking Him for His countless blessings,
so that when he tests us, we will be able to stand up to it.
It's not easy letting go, or releasing what we love or worked so hard for.
We may not understand His works, but let's just trust and believe.
It may be easy to say, but definitely difficult to do.
Maybe we have our priorities wrong in the first place.
What is our purpose on the Earth, why do we amass worthless things that will mean nothing in Heaven?
"
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and dust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."--Matthew 6:19-21
Yes, we should still strive to do our best in life, but we should not forget that it is for His glory and not ours.
