"You took the weight of the world on Your shoulders
You took the weight of the world on Your shoulders

You did it all for me
Yes You did it all for me

Take me as I am
Into Your nail-scarred hands
When I run so far away
You always call me back again
Into Your open arms
No matter what I've done
Amazing grace has found me here
Because of what You've done"
- Weight of The World, Planetshakers

The song still brings me to tears. How deep and wide His love for me. How much He has done for me, the lengths He has gone for me, still makes me cry and throw myself into His arms. How can I ever thank You for the unfailing love that You've shown me. For everything that You have done for me. How can I ever thank You enough?

I see You taking away all the burdens and all the worries that's upon my shoulders and casting them away. I could read Your lips saying that You love me. How many times have I broken Your heart? How many times have I walked away? But yet Your love washes me clean. Yet You never walk away, but You stand there with open arms wanting to hold me again. Telling me that it's all gonna be alright.

I love You, Dad.

An excerpt from my journal: "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. There is so much love in that name of Jesus. Lord, it's those times when I just wanna spend with You, hang out with You alone, it's those times where I will never want to forget. The times when You would stretch out Your hands and touch me. The times when You are standing before me and wrapping Your loving arms around me. Oh, that warm embrace. I just want to fall in love with You all over again, Lord. Over and over again!"

It was a snippet of the letter that I wrote to God when I was still in Ps Ben's urbanlife at the end of last year. It's amazing that after exactly a year, I would still say the same thing to God. I would still utter those words to Him, telling Him to overwhelm me with His love and to fall in love with Him again and again.

There is something about the name of Jesus. The beautiful name of Jesus.

"How many times have I broken Your heart
Still You forgive if only I ask
And how many times have You heard me pray
Draw near to me

Everything I need is You
My beginning my forever
Everything I need is You
It is You"
- All For Love, Hillsong
