God, I still remember the promises I made to You in Planetshakers Conference year 2004. I remember falling to my knees for the first time before everyone in public and sobbing so hard until I kept losing my breath. I remember I kept calling out to You, "Jesus.. Don't pass me by! Never, Jesus! Never! Don't leave me behind! Don't..." I remember crying so badly that my vision was so blurred. God, Your presence was so strong I couldn't stand up. I could feel You walking by me!

      I promised to serve You, all my days God. I promised You that my life's song was to sing of the freedom that You gave me through the death of Your Son. And Lord, I'm renewing my promise today. That I will live my life not for myself, but for Your Kingdom every single day.

      Sometimes doing the right thing, you have to stand alone. There's no other way. Jesus hung on the Cross by Himself too. I will glory in my rags for the riches Christ has bought for me through His blood. I glory in nothing else. I glory not in my wisdom. I glory in my Christ Jesus.

      God, let me behold Your glory for the rest of my life. I don't want anything else but that.

      Don't pass me by, Lord. Never. Don't leave me. I don't want You to leave me ever.

      Yesterday's 777 event was great. The prayers made by the children were cool and interesting at the same time. "God, thank You for my body parts." Which made me nearly chuckle out with laughter. But having put aside the mirth and humour... I realise why Jesus said the children will enter heaven, their innocence and childlike faith guarantees their entrance into the divine most high.

      Children don't complicate things. Children look at the basic details and give thanks for what they have around them. Unlike those of us who have so-called "grown-up", we focus on what we don't have instead of what we've got already in our hands. Do I give thanks to God for my body parts? Do I give thanks that I have clothes to wear? Food to eat? A mom and a dad? The shoes I wear? Do I give thanks that I had the finance and facilities to go to school, buy books and enjoy my teachers?

      I think we all need to return to the position where we remember that before God, we have to come as children, with such simplre faith. Can we cry so honestly outloud like the children when they pray? When they dance before God, I don't think they care whether their friends around them think they're silly. The adults teach each other what's "okay" or "not that okay". Children don't tell the difference between expensive food or cheap food. The adults taught them that McDonald's is better than a Ramli burger on the road side stall.

      God, remind me. I am Your child. Teach me to return to child like faith, to wait and give thanks for anything that is already placed around me. To hope like a child...to trust like a child. Who never forgets a parent's promise. God, help me remember how it was to just wait and not be tired of waiting.
