the love of Christ is now constraining me



Thy mighty love, O God constraineth me
As some strong tide it presseth on its way
Seeking a channel in my self-bound soul
Yearning to sweep all barriers away

Shall I not yield to that constraining power?
Shall I not say, o tide of love flow in?
My God Thy gentleness hath conquered me
Life cannot be as it hath hither been

Break through my nature, mighty, heavenly love
Clear every avenue of thought and brain
Flood my affections purify my will
Let nothing but Thine own pure life remain

Thus wholly mastered and possessed by God
Forth from my life, spontaneous and free
Shall flow a stream of tenderness and grace
Loving because God loved eternally

"the Lord will provide us with what and who
we need rather than with what and who we want."

that's bro luis, my kuya! he's at the FTT at the moment.
it's time to drop my preferences, my natural concepts,
my ambitions. after all, it is no longer i who live.
being into this fellowship is the greatest push to
the kingdom. yes, the Lord will never be wrong. through
His grace and mercy, i am always exposed and reminded
that i am a slave with a Master, i was bought with a price,
and all i can do is to say Amen to His will and be one with
Him in His heart's desire. not with my own efforts; i am not
capable to love. only by living for Him and to Him will i be
able to. in His most perfect time, in His most perfect place, in
His own heart's desire, i'll serve the Lord with the brother, whom
He predestined to be with me beforehand. all for the Body, for Him.
amen to the Lord, i am loving because God loved eternally. although
i have to admit that i won't be ready to settle down in the next five
or ten years (hehehe!), who cares. if this is really His heart's desire,
we are going to get married after FTT. He knows my needs, and
great is THY faithfulness.
