I just felt I need to post this song which represents very much my inner thoughts write now.
I used to oppose rock christian music, but God is speaking to me using it now.
Lyrics:
This song happens to be my handphone ringtone. Sharene was in deep grief and needed comfort and assurance from a difficult situation. While we were praying together, my brother called me and as I didn’t pick up the call, this song began to play. The first few words began: “All things work for our good. Though sometimes we don’t see how they could…“
Hebrews 13: 20 – ‘Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the Great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen’
Many times in my life, I was taught by parents, teachers or adults to be independent, to rely on myself and to find solutions to problems by myself, for they say that is what life is about.

Brother, let me be your servant
Let me be as Christ to you
Pray that I may have the grace
To let you be my servant, too
The words of this song came to me this morning. What a reminder this is that I should be as Christ to my brothers and sisters and everyone else around me. That is to me being a christian: servanthood like Jesus Christ who washed his disciples’ feet.
My brothers and sisters, let me be your servant, as Christ to you.
Speaking about rest, I have just found an old hymn about rest. It is entitled Jesus! I am Resting
Jesus! I am resting, resting
In the joy of what Thou art;
I am finding out the greatness
Of Thy loving heart.
Thou hast bid me gaze upon Thee,
And Thy beauty fills my soul;
For, by Thy transforming power,
Thou hast made me whole.
Ever lift Thy face upon me,
As I work and wait for Thee;
Resting ‘neath Thy smile, Lord Jesus
Earth’s dark shadows flee.
Brightness of my Father’s glory,
Sunshine of my Father’s face.
Keep me ever trusting, resting;
Fill me with Thy grace!
There are 4 attitudes towards 4 relationships which we need to maintain in order to continue in a state of rest. If any of these relationships are broken, our rest would be broken. They are 1) An abiding relationship with Jesus, 2) A loving relationship with one another, 3) A hostile relationship with the world and 4) A Co-witnessing relationship with the Holy Spirit.
