Much of You Lord, Jesus

“a time to kill, a time to heal
a time to break down, a time to laugh
a time to mourn, a time to dance
a time to cast away stones and a time to gather stones…” - excerpts from Ecclesiastes 3


i can’t remember the last time i gave all energy i had inside me in a basketball match, to the point i felt like i finished 2.4km or worse..


but it was great.. the sense of using almost all of that bit of spark left in me.. i wonder..
i wonder if i execute as much when it comes to studies
i wonder if i execute as much when it comes to God’s ministry
i wonder if i execute as much, when it should be more in God’s ministry
i wonder if i execute much more than what i have in God’s ministry and having that mission of making much of Christ in my life


“How could I stand here
And watch the sun rise
Follow the mountains
Where they touch the sky
Ponder the vastness
And the depths of the sea
And think for a moment
The point of it all was to make much of me
Cause I’m just a whisper
And You are the thunder and

I want to make much of You, Jesus
I want to make much of Your love
I want to live today to give You the praise
That You alone are so worthy of
I want to make much of Your mercy
I want to make much of Your cross
I give You my life
Take it and let it be used
To make much of You

And how can I kneel here
And think of the cross
The thorns and the whip and the nails and the spear
The infinite cost
To purchase my pardon
And bear all my shame
To think I have anything worth boasting in except for Your name
Cause I am a sinner
And You are the Savior


To make much of You

This is Your love, oh God
Not to make much of me
But to send Your own son
So that we could make much of You

For all eternity”

-Much of you, by Steven Curtis Chapman

“Models of simplicity are desperately needed today. Our task is urgent and relevant. Our century thirsts for the authenticity of simplicity, the spirit of prayer, and the life of obedience. May we be the embodiment of the kind of authentic living” - Richard J. Foster
