"For the pagans run after these things, and your heavenly father knows that you need them. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and these things will be given to you as well."
-Matthew 6:33

Where does our hearts lie?
Who do we dream for?
What do we want MOST?

don't always ask God to change circumstances, but ask God to change our hearts.

I first did that on my first mission trip to Selangor.
how frigtening it was to ask for something which can potentially bring me immense pain and trouble--"God, change my heart?" who knows what He will do to me? more trials? more heartache?
yet, i thought, if we don't take the chances with such, we'd never know what lies in store for us, over on the other side. if we are truly convicted that He is the Lord of all, creator of all, and holds everything in control, if we truly believe that He has the best plans for each and every single person-believer or not.
why cant we just surrender our lives to Him?
what right do we have to hold on to the best of us, our hearts? our souls? our bodies?
why must we put conditions on this faith?
why must we shortchange Him, and in turn ourselves and those around us from the BEST in life.
we find all sorts of reasons and excuses, we "temporalise" (zolar's triggers for consultation hahaha).
we wish and wonder for people around us to change.
but have you wondered..what if they dont? what if they never?
what if they will only do so when they witness the supernatural change in our lives?
it always is our choice isnt it?
sounds harsh, but someone has got to say it.

don't always ask God to change our circumstances, but rather ask God to change our hearts.

what do we want most?
Who do we dream for?
Where do our hearts truly lie?
