Its been a good night... Finally got right with God... Makes me wonder why I took so long. Went for CG just now. Only 4 of us from my cell turned up. The rest have exams and other things to attend to. Considering disbanding 'Solar Energy'. It seems like the growth has plateaued... Will continue to see how things turn out.

Today, I was reminded how unimportant skill is when worshipping God... I was playing guitar for the worship at CG. We combined with Yoong Soo's Cell. Anyway, didn't play very well. Timing was way off and transition was not smooth. But I just concentrated on worshipping God. Guess what, the presence of God was there. It doesn't matter how you play, how it sounds... As long as your heart is right. The purpose is to sing to God... If you can sing well, or harmonise perfectly, it'll sound nicer to us. But thats not what God wants. He looks at the heart.

Not like when my band messed up while performing a few nights ago. When we play to entertain, sometimes we'll disappoint ourselves or the people listening to us. What we play may not appeal to certain people. Some people might have high standards regarding things to do with music. But when you play for God, he only cares about the standard of your heart. Whether you mean what you sing. This doesn't mean that you have an excuse to play badly though. haha... I've gotta go to bed soon... I don't wanna miss worship tomorrow!

::: Lyric of the Day :::
When the music fades, all is stripped away,
And I simply come
Longing just to bring something that's of worth
That will bless Your heart

I'll bring You more than a song,
For a song in itself,
Is not what you have required
You search much deeper within,
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
