An inspiring poem

Recently, life has been so busy and so occupied to a point that the direction gradually drifted away from God. But He did not give me up. "Come near to God and He will come near to you." (James 4:8) I decided to spend time to watch a CD which was bought for a long time, and to read a regular email newsletter which more often than not I would delete without reading. They turned out to be awesome and through which God touched my soul and soften my heart.

Thanks to Nick Vujicic's testimony in the CD titled "Where does my strength come from? - My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. (Psalm 121:2)" He is a man without limbs but his determination to let God shine through him created a living miracle.

Thanks to the inspiring poem by Roy Lessin, this is exactly what I need at the moment :

What It's All About

It's not about following our career path
It's about following His call upon our lives. Matthew 16:24

It's not about our self-efforts to live for Him;
It's about letting Him live His life in us. Galatians 2:20

It's not about our attempts at self-improvement;
It's about His transforming grace. 2 Corinthians 5:17

It's not about our self-image;
It's about being conformed to His image. Romans 8:29

It's not about wanting the approval of others;
It's about having His approval. 2 Timothy 2:15
