The Bible verse is taken from:
Matthew 13:44-46-"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it."
Actually, it is not really the verse that caught my attention at 1st but rather the devotion. To me life can often be so busy till finally I've reach this bend or i shld say crossroad where i hv to stop and decide which path I shld take after poly especially this period of time when I'm still waiting for God's answer if He wants me to go uni or not, n if yes, where?n if not, now what?to be frank I'm worried at watever decision that is to come and I hv a lot of dreams and passion till yestday(or shld i say e day b4) I went to this website n was reading the website the lyric of the song hits me and it goes like this:
Jesus, my passion in life is to know you
May all other goals bow down to
This journey of loving you more
Jesus, you’ve showered your goodness on me
Given your gifts so freely
But there’s one thing I’m longing for
Hear my heart’s cry
And my prayer for this life...
Above all else
Above all else
Above all else
Give me yourself

Particularly the line 2nd & 3rd line in e 1st verse..."May all other goal bow down to this journey of loving You more"...because I want that more than anything to be my prayer...to love God and above all my dreams and goals, that God's will be done in my life...That devotion actually encourages me a lot...and now looking back at that verse finding God is such an amazing thing, its like a hidden treasure or more than that more than silver or gold could compare, that once u've found it you do not want to let go any more cos its so wonderfully great and joyful...of course I'm not saying that it is a smooth or easy journey cos God didnt promise a bed of roses...There will be time when u will be persecuted by your family, close ones, your friends and so on but God promise rest, refuge, comfort and most of all salvation, eternal life...isn't it Great!!??Its my prayer that 1 day I can be able to give up my all for God and to follow Him...That song is also my prayer that all my goals and dreams bow down to this journey of loving you more...Are all of you ready to give up All for God?Let's pray that all of us may be able to that and to put God a priority in our life journey, that His will be done in our life n not ours...Amen
