...the Glory of His Name!!!
I can't get enough. I need more. every day. every moment. I love Him. I need Him.
I want to be challenged. tested. tried. I don't want a comfortable, easy life. I want to stripped down, purified, sanctified, tested...I don't know, I just want Jesus to have it all. I'm longing to, but struggling to walk in His authority --- yet He has already given EVERYTHING I need for life and godliness. Time to write 2 Peter 1 all over my heart. anthem for life.
ah, Father, I will take my thoughts captive according to Your WORD - not my selfish, lustful desires. no way. You are too good for me to do that. Father, thank You for settling my thoughts and pulling me back to You - every. day. You are so good! ohhhh that You would rend the heavens.
hm. I think I've been ignoring Proverbs lately...gotta get back where I belong. A tame tongue and humble heart. hallelujah. Pointed out to my friend last night, that the lame & blind managed to find their way to Jesus - what is my excuse?? (His are the hands I've grown to trust, and His is the love that gives me life)
God...let me seek You with my WHOLE heart, completely abandoned and intentionally pursuing You (alone). (the more I seek You, the more I find You!) hm, root of this lame feeling - impatient selfishness. =/ the opposite? patiently (eagerly) serving - focus on OTHERS' needs, not my own, petty desires. Lord, as I'm continually blown by Your Holy Spirit, let me make my calling and election sure. hallelujah.
(my whole life I place in Your hands - God of mercy, humbled, I bow down - in Your presence, at Your throne)
I feel weird...do people pick up on my sincerity and delight in the Word, or do they think I just randomly copy & paste from Biblegateway? =/ agh, I'm so wrestling through this right now (to some avail?? I hope so). I'm just, questioning my motives again...am I doing and responding to things based on God's say-so, or am I doing things because I'm pulling towards a desired outcome or stirring up some kind of emotion? Is my heart to encourage my brothers and sisters through Christ, or do I want them to be impressed with my own 'holiness'?
Reminded - that God is faithful. His provision is meant to be a CONSTANT reminder of His faithfulness - He was once, surely He will be again!
oh goodness. I do NOT receive this "funk"! I kick its butt OUT of here in the Name of JESUS!!!
No time for this nonsense. More than a conqueror. More than enough grace. God is too good for me to 'feel' a certain way. He's greater. He IS GREATER>
whoa...
holding the shift key too long = revelation.
Yes, He is greater - but finish the sentence!
Greater THAN WHAT?
anything and everything.
do it. say it out loud. surrender, submit and release. (yikes. I need to loosen my grip on a lot of things right now...)
I can't decide which emphasis I like best (suppose it switches, depending on the situation):
YOU are greater.
You ARE greater.
You are GREATER.
whoa - revelation #2
don't be picky, shout the whole thing: YOU ARE GREATER!
ah, no matter what it is!
I feel a dead heart beating now
This revelation makes me wanna shout!
When my heart condemns me
tells me I am guilty
You're greater
You're greater
Jesus you have searched me,
and even in your finding
You have loved
and You love me
This is who I am
I’ve been born again
the Cross is my defense, my hope secured
now my life is in Your Hand
on Your every word I stand
Lord I’m finding who I am in all you are
