I will have no other gods before You

Hi God,

I will have no other gods before You,
only You will reign as my heart's King.

I will have no other gods before You,
I will put you first in everything.

With all my heart,
With all my soul,
With all my might I want to love You Lord.

This is a children's church song. So simple yet it just brings out everything in my heart.
Placing You first in every aspect of my life. If I honour You, You shall honour me.

You are the reason why I do what I do. This is not just a one time reminder, but always. Many times I try to do things by my own strength, but I'm just so limited. I'm like a cup of water, if I pour out all my water, I'll be left with nothing. But with the You as the water source, I shall never thirst again. Looking back at my life, I can see that I've grown so much. I'm able to handle more things and gained many abilities. Not because of myself, for I know I never could have gotten so far. If life is without You I would still be wasting my life away, looking for steads, playing computer games.

With all that I have and that I am, I want to love You. For You have first love me. You created me and gave me the potential to be successful. And now realising my potentials and moulding me to become a better person.

Others may say that I'm crazy, but I wouldn't be if I haven't experience You myself. The warmth of Your embrace and the peace the world could never give just touches my heart. The way how I was borned and how You drawed me to You is just so amazing. My life is a gift from You, and how I live my life is a gift to You.

Love,
Samuel

My God, My Lord, My Saviour, My Father and My Friend
