This video comes from an extraordinary story about a man who works as a mobile phone salesman, and tried out for "Britains Got Talent" reality show.
He got up to perform with most people believing he was at the best silly, and worse going to hurt their ears. He had them in tears before he was through.
The story to me is about a man of humble state and brokenness who didn't really know what he had and simply wanted to share what he did have with those willing to listen.
It was amazing to see this working man with no confidence in himself, unpresumptious and simply a regular person do what he did.
Lord we need to see brokenness and true humility in your people.

Eternity Within
A letter I wrote:
When you wrote to me talking about discouragement, I wanted to relate something to you that has truly set me free in this area, and prevented me from entering into a lot of soulish, self-originating directions.
In the book of Ecclesiastes, we read about where God has set eternity within us. It is after that where we read about there being a time for everything. Of course Christ is our eternity, and when He reveals Himself and works Himself within us in that way, it takes away much of the discouragement that can come upon us. After all, discouragement is usually simply getting tired of a situation that were in or
waiting for something that we want to happen.
The scriptures and history is strewn about with those who are children of God who make terrible mistakes by not viewing things from the Lords' timelessness. Is He in a hurry? Does He get terribly troubled by the situations of life? No!
Ask Him to reveal and to work into you His way of life in this matter, after a season of time you'll be surprised at how things that have troubled you, no longer come to mind.
