Blessed Assurance...

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.

Few hours ago, my priest’s wife was leading us in a praying

service. We were invited by her to sing this wonderful song,

“Blessed Assurance”. As we know together, these lyrics

were written by Fanny J. Crosby, and we often hear or

even sing these lyrics. Not only able to sing this song well in

harmony, but also able to sing without read the texts. We

remember all the sentences, and so do I. But… While the

people there were singing, I suddenly felt something…

Something different…

I always think that I’ve already done singing, praising my

Saviour all of my days without exception. I always think

that I must be happy because of Jesus is mine. But…?? What

is my real action showing to everyone that I really happy of

it? What is my real action telling the awesome story about

my Saviour to everyone? It couldn’t be really shown only by

my voice!! I need more than it!!

How about my daily activity? How about my routine serving

at church? How about my words everyday? How about my

behaviour? Did all of those can really show the happiness

of having Jesus as Saviour? Did all of those can really tell

the story about Savior?

Unfortunately… I haven’t reflected, thought deeply this

song yet :(

This is my story, dear everyone…

May my story can inspire, make you remember reflecting

this song…

So that you can really show your happiness of having Jesus,

you can really tell your story about Saviour :)

Let us try our best to make it through… to make it real :)
