AUTHORITY.

Whenever we encounter the word AUTHORITY,it would most probably connect us to government,policemen,or whoever has the crown--the POWER.Most of us are against it,because we had bad experiences from them. We have wrong views or misconceptions about it.Why?Because we are humans,we have a nature that when we're sitted on the throne we tend to abuse the power that we have.Even me,I must admit that I was once like that.I spent my whole life in high school being in the authority--1st year:I was the vice president of the class and the secretary of our batch,2nd and 3rd year:I became the batch president,4th year:I was the president of our class.When I was in that stage of my life,all I could ever think of was ME,ME,ME,MYSELF AND I!All I ever wanted was for me to earn the title,fame,achievements and praise that people should give to me!Yes,I WAS A SELF-CENTERED BRAT(Haha!).In so many ways,I've abused the authority that was given to me.I used my position to excuse myself from classes just because I don't want to go to class,just because I want to loiter around school.In my brain it was all "Oh,the teachers won't mind and they won't fail me because they love me and they know my position." I sleep at class whenever I wanted to,I didn't care about the teachers,I see myself as the one who is on top,I look down on people,and all I know is that "I AM THE PRESIDENT!". As I'm looking back now,SO WHAT?!SO WHAT IF I WAS THE PRESIDENT OF OUR BATCH?!SO WHAT?!It's just a position,a name,a title!I did everything just for myself!I did everything to earn those titles and THEY ARE ALL WORTHLESS NOW.I felt like I was on top!But NO!I wasn't.Last week,God revealed the word AUTHORITY to me then suddenly He kept on revealing things about it,and I got so amazed with these revelations!:) God revealed to me that HE IS THE AUTHORITY OF ALL AUTHORITIES.He is so gracious and loving that HE DOESN'T ABUSE US,HE DOESN'T ABUSE THE POWER THAT HE HAS,HE IS NOT SELFISH.I am just in awe of everything that He has been revealing and doing in my life,because I know that He has a purpose for everything!God always remind me that He did all the things that happened during my high school life to equip/prepare/train me for today!:) I wouldn't be where I am right now if it weren't because of all the experiences that God put me in before.The titles,positions and fame that I've achieved are WORTHLESS they are NOTHING compared to the CROWN THAT GOD HAS GIVEN ME TO BE HIS VERY WARRIOR PRINCESS,AND THE POSITION THAT HE HAS PREPARED FOR ME IN HIS KINGDOM.


I've seen authorities abuse the power that they have,and I've seen myself doing that too. That's why it's very humbling whenever God reminds me that GOD WHO IS THE AUTHORITY OF ALL AUTHORITIES DOESN'T ABUSE US,AND HE HASN'T THOUGHT OF THAT,EVEN 0.0001%!HE IS ON TOP OF EVERYONE,BUT HE WANTS US TO BE WITH HIM!ISN'T IT AMAZING?:") So,who is the authority of your life?MAKE GOD YOUR AUTHORITY AND EVERYTHING WILL BE WORTHY!


This verse made a great impact in my life and I just love it!
However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.-(Acts 20:24)


I pray that you will ask God for this too. :)
Turn my eyes away from worthless things;preserve my life according to your word.-(Psalm 119:37)


As I'm writing this,I just felt God's amazing grace embracing me over and over again!:")
AMAZING GRACE-Chris Tomlin
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

[2x]
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine
