Courageous Surrender
13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 15 As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; 16 but they were kept from recognizing him.
17 He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?” They stood still, their faces downcast. 18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?”
19 “What things?” he asked. “About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. 20 The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; 21 but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place.22 In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning23 but didn’t find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”
Ecclesiastes 3
There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,
a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

Psalm 139
O LORD, You have examined my heart and know everything about me:
You know my every thought when far away.
You know what I am going to say even before I say it, LORD.You chart the path ahead of me and tell me where to stop and rest.
Every moment You know where I am.
You both precede and follow me.
You place your hand of blessing on my head.
Desert Song
I am in the desert...
"Where is the LORD that brought us up
out of the land of Egypt?
That led us through the wilderness,
through a land of deserts and of pits.
Through a land of drought,
and of the shadow of death,
Through a land that no man passed through,
and where no man dwelt?"
(Jeremiah 2:6)
And the LORD answered me...
And He said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart
into a desert place, and rest a while."
(Matthew 6:31)
God of this City
My tears fall every time I hear this song. Its like God is telling me that I will still do greater things for Him.
It was a week after ICON while I was encoding the LRs that I conceived the idea of having a mission CLP in the City Jail. Immediately after I called up and talked to the people concerned regarding that undertaking, this song just popped out of my head. And since I have this song saved in my cellphone, I played it over and over again. I had goose bumps and if I weren't in the office then, I'd have cried a bucketful of tears.
Clutching at Straws
Lord, I feel so utterly weak...
Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God the Lord,
The Creator of the ends of the Earth.
Neither faints nor is weary.
There is no searching of His understanding.
He gives power to the weak
And to those who have no might,
He increases strength.
Even the youths shall faint and be weary
And the young men shall utterly fall.
But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength
They shall mount up with wings like eagles
They shall run and not be weary.
They shall walk and not faint.
(Isaiah 40: 28-31)
