GPS

“Instead, God is more like a GPS. He doesn’t trace out the entire route for me to see. He punches in the destination, and then He gives turn by turn directions… just one turn at a time. And you’d better be paying attention, because He usually tells you your next turn less than a mile before it comes up.

He tells Abraham: “Go to the land I will show you… “
No street address, not even a zip code. Just hit the road, and I’ll tell when to make your next turn.” – Steven Furtick

I love Him so much… I’m glad that He is guiding me towards my destination. He had tell me so many times, “Melvin, look at you vision… go and I will guide you.”

Of course, there are so many times I didn’t pay attention to Him… when He asked me to “turn left”, I “turned right”, and guess what? God didn’t give up but He picked me up and created another route for me. Therefore, I am thankful and I will open my eyes in order to receive His words.

He is enough for me… 

Illuminate

There were so many times I experienced crappy moments
I didn’t know where to go
Thoughts just kept filling up in my mind
I cried out for You...
You appeared and whispered in my right ear

“Have faith. Follow me…
I will illuminate the road before you.”

I will remember it

Mess

Oh I'm a mess right now

Inside out

Searching for a sweet surrender

But this is not the end

I can't work it out

How going through the motions

Going through us

And oh I've known it for the longest time

And all of my hopes

All of my own words

Are all over written on the signs

But you're on my road

Walking me home

See the flames inside my eyes

It burns so bright I wanna' feel your love

Easy baby maybe I'm a liar

But for tonight I wanna' fall in love

Put your faith in my stomach

I messed up this time

Late last night

Drinking to suppress devotion

With fingers intertwined

I can't shake this feeling now

We're going through the motions

Hoping you'd stop

And ohhh I've only caused you pain

I know but all of my words will always below

Of all the love you spoke

When you're on my road

Walking me home

See the flames inside my eyes

It burns so bright I wanna' feel your love

Easy baby maybe I'm a liar

But for tonight I wanna' fall in love

Put your faith in my stomach

And for how long, I love, my lover

For how long I love my lover

And now, now, for how long, long I love my lover

Now, now, for how long, long I love my lover

Now now, for how long, long I love my lover (and I feel loved)

Now now, for how long, long I love my lover

I feel it all over now, now and I feel loved

Now now, for how long, long I love my lover

Feel it all over now, now, and I feel loved

Now now, for how long, long I love my lover

Feel it all over now, now, and I feel loved

Now, now, for how long, long I love my lover

Feel it all over now, now, and I feel loved

Now, now, for how long I love my lover

Feel it all over now, now, and I feel loved

Now now, for how long, long I love my lover

Now now, for how long, long I love my lover

Carnality vs. Spirituality

Romans 8

Confess

I wanna sit at your feet
Drink from the cup in your hand.
Lay back against you and breath, feel your heart beat
This love is so deep, it's more than I can stand.
I melt in your peace, it's overwhelming

I'm confessing this every day... God, I just love being in your presence, resting in your presence.

Rest

I love Your name, it is wonderful
I love Your name, the Angels love it too
I love Your name, it is powerful
I love Your name, the Angels love it too
Hallelujah, name above all names
Hallelujah, You're worthy of all praise
Jesus, name above all names 

Jesus, You're worthy of all praise

I love Him. I know what I must do now. The presence was so strong when I was I praying and crying out to Him last night. At the end of the prayer, He whispered to me, "Now son, rest... Rest in me, I love you." Thank you God for everything. 

Decision

"The road the righteous travel is like the sunrise, getting brighter and brighter until daylight has come. The road of the wicked, however, is dark as night. They fall, but cannot see what they have stumbled over.

My child, pay attention to what I say. Listen to my words.  Never let them get away from you. Remember them and keep them in your heart. They will give life and health to anyone who understands them. Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts. Never say anything that isn't true. Have nothing to do with lies and misleading words. Look straight ahead with honest confidence; don't hang your head in shame. Plan carefully what you do, and whatever you do will turn out right. Avoid evil and walk straight ahead. Don't go one step off the right way."

- Proverbs 4:18-27

I decided to start my morning differently today, which is to download Pastor Steven Furtick last Sunday sermon, “The Great Emoti Con, Moodswingers”, and listened to it on the way to work. Of course, his sermons always speak into my life and allow me to get back on my feet every time I feel like crap. 

Something about me is that my thoughts are my worst enemy because 80% of my thoughts are negative (I guess it is normal for human beings to be negative). Well, I kind of proud of myself because at least I know which of my thought is negative or positive. However, I am not proud that I am allowing the negative thoughts to affect my emotions every night as the verse said, “Your life is shaped by your thoughts”.

Today, after a few weeks of emotional nights, I made a decision which is to listen to His words everyday and remember them and keep them in my heart. I will not give up and I look forward for the rest of 2015. 

Decisive, Strength and Consistency
