MAKE MY LIFE A PRAYER TO YOU...

The time has come for me to enter the third decade of my life! Yes I am turning 30, and I must say that I have this wound up feeling, that I am going to enjoy this fresh season in my life.

A day or so back, I was contemplating about my life up to now, and I realized that I wasted my 20’s by being worried about things, things that never even came into existence. I wasted time, I wasted energy, I wasted cell membranes in my body, causing my glands to secrete unnecessary adrenaline, and giving me wrinkles instead of dimples… Well, those days are over! I am not going to waste my 30’s, and become preoccupied with nonsense.

During the past few years God has dealt with me forcefully, and maybe it was necessary for my 20’s ship to sail in somewhat stormy waters at times, because I feel a maturity that comes by being dealt with. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that I am not going to be dealt with ever again, but I do feel a certain amount of growth in my life, and a change in character. This is surly not out of myself but totally from God.  

I don’t have any specific hero or favourite movie star icons, but there was one Christian musician called Keith Green, who is and will always be my music icon until the day I die. He was a passionate man, who lived life with gusto, played piano and composed music like a genius, sang beautiful, but most off all absolutely smitten and sold out to Jesus Christ. He died at the tender age of 28, but he approached life with unexplained joy en zeal. He lived a life dedicated to Christ. To Him Christ was all, is all and will be all.

May the new season of my life, be personified with this song that Keith Green Holy Sprit inspired composed and wrote:

Make my life a prayer to You
Make my life a prayer to you
I wanna do what you want me to
No empty words and no white lies
No token prayers no compromise

I wanna shine the light you gave
Thru your son you sent to save us
From ourselves and our despair
It comforts me to know you're really there
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/k/keith+green/make+my+life+a+prayer_20077345.html ]
Chorus
Well I wanna thank you know
For being patient with me
Oh it's so hard to see
When my eyes are on me
I guess I'll have to trust
And just believe what you say
Oh you're coming again
Coming to take me away

I wanna die and let you give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope you gave me
The love that set me free

I wanna tell the world out there
You're not some fable or fairy tale
That I've made up inside my head
You're God the son and you've risen from the dead

Chorus

I wanna die and let you give
Your life to me so I might live
And share the hope you gave me
The love that set me free
