i miss you, china.

today i was reminded of the power of the gospel that you helped me see. lives that changed for eternity. restorations that began & are continuing. taking of the cross and worthiness of christ. im not sure how where i am now will connect with my way back to you. but i do know that i am in the center of His will now, and that one day He will take me back to you as He promised.

i dont want to forget what you showed me. i dont want to forget who you are and what you mean to me.

thanks for checking in today, i need to stay awake.

”..and was moved with compassion for our limitation…Thus, taking a body like our own, because all our bodies were liable to the corruption of death, He surrendered His body to death instead of all, and offered it to the Father. This He did out of sheer love for us, so that in His death all might die, and the law of death thereby be abolished because, having fulfilled in His body that for which it was appointed, it was thereafter voided of its power for men. This He did that He might turn again to incorruption men who had turned back to corruption, and make them alive through death by the appropriation of His body and by the grace of His resurrection..”

” ..the Lord also declares himself to be the Son of Man, so renewing in himself that primal man from whom the formation [of humankind] by own began, that as our race went down to death by a man who was conquered, we might ascend again to life by a man who overcame: and as death won palm of victory over us by a man, so we might by a man receive the palm of victory over death.”

love this.

”..the world needs the church, not to help the world run more smoothly or to make the word a better and safer place for Christians to live. Rather, the world needs the church because, without the church, the world does not know who it is. The only way for the world to know that it is being redeemed is for the church to point to the Redeemer by being a redeemed people. The way for the world to know that it needs redeeming, that is broken and fallen, is for the church to enable the world to strike hard against something which is an alternative to what the world offers.”

love your neighbor as yourself, not instead of yourself

Thu, 11 Apr 2013 00:37:00 -0700

i remember writing in the beginning of my days here at Fuller that i am here to learn.. to learn to love God and to love my neighbor.

perhaps the greatest lesson of love that i’ve been learning has been the learning of loving myself. learning.. to embrace and enjoy the fullness of love that God pours unto me. to truly believe the value and the worth that Christ saw in me to the point of death, and the value and worth of His blood that covers me even right now. to unashamedly receive and own my new identity as God’s own daughter—there is acceptance, there is grace, there is freedom and there is love. to actually believe all of these in my everyday life against this world that tells me otherwise. and it is this journey of loving myself that would enable me to also love my neighbor..the way Christ would.

..no wonder why the message of the gospel is life changing. wow.

im beginning to sense that my call is to minister out of place of brokenness & vulnerability rather than from a place of perfection.. acknowledging that i am unavoidably human but yielding to the divine God to do His work that only He can do. humbling and comforting all at the same time, thank you jesus.

so much to be said about today. so much to be said about past couple months. so much to be said about what you are doing in lives of many. so much to be said about what you are doing in my own life.

Jesus, you are so different from me. I’m so struck by the essence of who you are because that is not who i am.

i am so unlike you in every possible way. yet you would not give up on me and would call me beloved.

All of your sufferings and your pain, what you endured because you consider me a joy.. what you did to transform me into your likeness, to clothe me with your perfect righteousness.. leaves me awestruck. just struck by you, Lord.

Jeremiah 17:7-8

Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose trust is the LORD. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit.

“If you are faced with the question of whether or not to surrender, make a determination to go on through the crisis, surrendering all that you have and all that you are to Him. And God will then equip you to do all that He requires of you.”

- Exact words from 3 years ago..

God, I…surrender.
I let go of my need to know
I let go of my wanting to be in control
I let go of my grips on what seems ideal in my eyes
I let go of fears that tell me I must provide for myself

I surrender.. because I cannot know, cannot be in control, cannot define the ideal, and cannot provide for my every need. I am unable, Lord. But you are. I surrender.. Keep me in the unknown if need be. Keep me under your control. And surprise me with your ideal as you provide for my every need.

Peace, be still. surrender.
