November 20 Let me love and not be respectedLet me love and not be respected;
Let me serve and not be rewarded; Let me labor and not be remembered; Let me suffer and not be regarded. 'Tis the pouring, not the drinking;
'Tis the breaking, not the keeping-- A life suffering to seek others' blessing. A life loving and true comfort giving. Not expecting pity and concern,
Not accepting solace and applause; Even lonely, even forgotten. Even wordless, even forsaken. Tears and blood my price
For the righteous crown shall be; Losing all, my cost for a Faithful pilgrim's life. 'Twas the life, O Lord,
That You chose to live In those days when on earth You walked. Gladly suffering all injuries and loss So that all might draw near and repose. I cannot see how much farther I shall go;
Still I press on, knowing there is no return. Let me follow Your pattern, so perfect and true, Bearing ingratitudes without complaint. In this time of trial, oh my Lord, I pray
That You'd wipe all my hidden tears away; Let me learn, O Lord, You are my reward, Let me be others' blessing all my days. This song is of a person who love the Lord so much and willing to consecrate himself to Him for he knowing only Christ is his reward. My today success (since studying in UK until finding a job) does not come from my own capability and Christ has given me all this sure must be for a purpose. What kind of purpose i don't know but i want to be ready when He calls. My trust for Him is slim and thin and everyday I pray He becomes my trust for me to trust Him and love Him more. So much that I can overcome the daily human being's obsession & frustation. For whatever reason all things on the earth is only a shadow and will expire when Christ return. He will return because His word in the Bible has said so and I hope His return will be soon and so soon i.e. tomorrow. Lord prepare me for your return and please keep me close.
