Hand Him the pen..

From all that dims Thy Calvary
O Lamb of God, deliver me.
Give me the love that leads the way,
The faith that nothing can dismay
The hope no disappointments tire,
The passion that will burn like fire;
Let me not sink to be a clod;
Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God..
~ Amy Carmichael

What precious hidden manna in the writings of this precious missionary and wonderful woman of faith who gave up her all at a young age to serve the Lord in Southern India, Dohnavur! In His great love, God had designed a wonderful life plan for this faithful servant and He too has an incredible plan for each and every one of us on this earth. If we keep our hearts open before Him (just as dear Amy did throughout her 1 life) and completely surrender our lives to His sovereign will, He will unfold His glorious plans to us. Amy Carmichael's writings remind us that the love of Jesus Christ helps us to become dead to self and the world. It has the power to inspire and enable us to obey Him with joyful willingness. Praise God that His eternal, infinite, earthly and heavenly blessings are upon all of them that love Him and serve Him faithfully!

Just want to say from my heart that i will be keeping all of you in my thoughts & prayers, my dear Teenz brothers & sisters..our God truly has a marvellous life story for each and every one of you that totally surpasses your human imagination! His thoughts are way higher than our very thoughts for our own lives..His ways completely surpasses our ways..How amazing is the infinite nature of our Father! As His humble & feeble children seeking after His Will for our lives, all we have to do is to surrender and hand over to Him the 'pen' of our lives and let Him be the sole Author of our life story. It may be very difficult giving up certain 'storylines' that we might have in mind for our lives..personal plans crafted by our own self-centred will have to be laid upon the altar..particular painful choices or major decisions have to be made..but truly nothing beats trusting our Father with your very self, your everything, your future, your whole entire life. Our unfailing Heavenly Father created us, saved us, loves us from everlasting to everlasting..He knows us inside out, He knows each of our greatest joys, deepest thoughts, darkest trials, toughest moments, ugliest sins..He sees every tear of sadness we shed and every smile of thanksgiving from our hearts..He is aware of every single fragment, every single iota of our very being..and He definitely has the greatest, bestest and most incredible life plan in store for us. All He desires is to have your heart and your life..sincere, tender and surrendered to Him..and He will reveal far greater and mightier things for your life than you can ever imagine. That is the awesome power of our everlasting Father!

'What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?' ~ Romans 8:31-32

When you are feeling down and out, worn and hurt, ridden with painful thoughts that you simply cannot carry on in life and that you just want to give up on everything, keep in your heart the unfailing promise that you are loved with an everlasting love and underneath your very weak, broken and heavy laden soul are the everlasting arms of our loving Almighty Heavenly Father. Nothing..absolutely nothing..is too hard for Him.

Dearest Lord, thank you so much for each of our life stories that You are revealing to us day by day..as Amy penned in her poem, please grant us true and pure love that leads the way, unwavering faith that nothing can dismay, undying hope no disappointments tire, supreme passion for You that will burn like an unending fire.
In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
