Lord, Your face is all I seek.
Lord You are all I need.
I open my eyes,
and I see Your faithfulness
Your mercy is new today.
O I love You Lord,
Lover of my soul.
How I love You Lord,
Shepherd of my soul.
I raise my voice in worship,
To You and You alone.

Our prayer group had a great time yesterday studying Philippians 3. We were very impressed by apostle Paul’s zealous pursuit of Christ, as recorded in his famous quote: “I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead”.

This is really following hard after Christ. To read about great man like Paul running hard after Christ is one thing and to run the race of life ourselves is a totally different thing altogether. Which is more rewarding? To win an Olympic gold ourselves or watching Usain Bolt on TV? I hope all of us will be more determined in finding our running shoes, embarking on an intense training programme to build our muscles up, coupled with whole-hearted self discipline to pursue the goal i.e to know Christ, experiencing His power and becoming more and more like Him each day. I can assure you, the reward is far greater than your wildest imagination. Imagine as a father when you play with your 3 year-old. You let him chase after you. What will you do? Will you run miles away deserting the child? Of course not ! I am very sure that you just can’t wait to embrace the child you love, hug him and never let him go. That’s the way our heavenly Father loves us ! We might think that we are running after Him, but the amazing fact is that He is always there embracing us with His everlasting love !
