Thursday, June 16, 2005was doing quiet time just now. pondered over the joint. it's coming again. expectations. well. we've been praying week after week for the joint. pray that God will send His people in. pray that more people will come week after week. pray that people from church will bring their friends. no doubt we have God to thank for the rather smooth prog. but then again it's pointless if we want the masses to come in but we dont do much abt it. it's no point for them to come in if we dont go out. i mean we cant just carry on with what we do inside and not go out to bring them in. the masses wont come in unless we go out to them. that's what i think. sure it's important to pray cos we wld be powerless without prayer. but then again we cant just sit back and wait for Him to do the work. we have to be the ones bringing them into the church talking to them making them feel comfortable. ok i know it's really not easy. i'm not exactly very good at welcoming but at least i tried. and i have to try again and again. we have to get out of our comfort zones and start going to the crowd rather then them coming to us. try. for now i guess i can get out of the clique and start sitting with new people. i dont know much abt the rest but even though i struggle i know i'm not doing this for myself. try. it may not mean much to me to sit with a new person for an hour but perhaps to that person it may make a whole lot of difference. i can imagine. love. try. well i guess even when we invite our friends we shldnt be the ones sitting with them alone. oh well.
open up the gates - planetshakers(i dont feel anything. nth's shaking yet.ha)
we come into this holy place to bring a sacrifice of praise bow down before You and seek Your face
we sing of the mighty things You've done cry out to You let Your will be done tell all the world You're the holy one
hear the shouts of praise as they're rising up to you come and fill this place as we bring glory to Your name
open up the gates and let the king of glory in fill this house with praises as we lift our hands and worship You open up the doors and let Your glory fill the earth King of heaven we dance before Your throne
King of heaven come and take Your place dwell among us as we seek Your face..
