this is why i sing :)

In the secret
by MercyMe

in the secret in the quiet place
in the stillness You are there
in the secret in the quite hour
I wait only for you
cause i want to know You more
i want to know You i want to hear Your voice
i want to know You more
i want to touch You i want to see Your face
i want to know You more
i am reaching for the highest goals
that i might receive the prize
pressing onward pushing every hindrance aside
out of my way
cause i want to know You more

Jesus did not say, "Dream about your Father who is in the secret place," but He said, ". . . pray to your Father who is in the secret place. . . ." Prayer is not only an effort of the will but also the time we talk to our Dad in heaven:)

it is often said that we must have a specially selected place for prayer but once we get there, this plague of wanderng thoughts begins. as we begin to think to ourselves,

'this need to be done, and i have to pray today.'

it's not wrong to think of it that way but having a secret stillness before God, deliberately shutting the door on our emotions and remembering Him, this pleases God.

as our God is a 'jealous God', He wants our total love :)

God is in secret, and He sees us from "the secret place". He does not see us as other people do, or as we see ourselves. when we truly live in "the secret place," it becomes impossible for us to doubt God. we become more sure of Him than of anyone or anything else.

entering into "the secret place," and we will find that God was right in the middle of our everyday circumstances all the time. get into the habit of dealing with God about everything. unless we learn to open the door of our life completely and let God in from our first waking moment of each new day, we will be working on the wrong level throughout the day :)

we learn from baby talk to adult talk :) it sounds hard, it takes time, it take courage, it takes faith. but God says, He's walking it together with us.

yeaps, i heard from God today.

He said, He's with me :)

He never leaves, He's always here.

guiding my every step, taking care of every path that i've chosen.

i give thanks :)

p/s: lotsa people been wondering why i don't sing k :) because i've dedicated my voice for Jesus. He owns it! teehee.
