loving a person - sara groves
Loving a person just the way they are, it's no small thing
It takes some time to see things through
Sometimes things change, sometimes we're waiting
We need grace either way
Hold on to me
I'll hold on to you
Let's find out the beauty of seeing things through
There's a lot of pain in reaching out and trying
It's a vulnerable place to be
Love and pride can't occupy the same spaces baby
Only one makes you free
Hold on to me
I'll hold on to you
Let's find out the beauty of seeing things through
If we go looking for offense
We're going to find it
If we go looking for real love
We're going to find it

Today is quite weird to a certain point. You know, back in JB and Singapore I never really notice much mundane happenings. But when I'm here in KL, suddenly I find the light bulb bursting on me. Then today in "Well Cook Gourmet" Restaurant the fan suspended on the wall just snapped open and the blade flew together with the cover. I'm glad I was sitting a table away from the accident, but there was this family sitting right underneath. Good thing it didn't hit them, as they had a baby with them.
I wonder what does it mean?
I'm praying for a breakthrough...a real breakthrough. Not something that's a figment of my own imagination.
I pray for JOY for my friends, so that they have something to hold on to even when they go through problems in life. I pray for HOPE for my church, so that broken people can find a home in it. I pray for LOVE for my family, so that that love will overflow and touch other people as well. I pray for PERSEVERANCE for myself, so that I can overcome all odds, strip myself away from disgusting sin, to run the race to the finish, with God's promises and spirit carrying me.
Not by my strength, but by yours only.
