ah…. the beauty of the Lord. i am in awe that He has brought me to this place where nothing else matters-all is rubbish in the sight of Him. i am awe of His un-ending grace that He has freely given- it is more; so much more, than i deserve…and yet He proves Himself faithful.
“o God, You are my God, earnestly i seek You;
my soul thirsts for You
…because Your love is better than life, my lips will glorify You.
i will praise You as long as i live.”
psalm 63: 1-4
i love You Lord
and for You i wait;
Your promises
and Your power are great.
make haste, my God,
may i taste Your ways
i will maginfy Your sweet peace
all of my days

I LOVE everything here! The quotes, the song, the new look and YOU
So hard to grasp that kind of love for me.

There’s a song that we sing in church that says
WE’VE COME TO DECLARE THE BEAUTY OF THE LORD.
Your words are great. You feel that calm and quiet spirit in silent wonder….
I have been listening sermonindex, reading my study Bible, cover to cover, Everyday with Jesus and Drawing Near. All of them keep pointing fingers to my life and drawing me to a life of complete denial. I have seen films of the last days, read the book of daniel, listened to sermons about the last days. All those combined, I cannot remain indifferent. How can we claim not to have heard when there is so much around us. Before I started doing all this I was getting to a point where “nothing is new under the sun”. Then I got a kick on the back and realised that ‘apostacy’ is very subtle and we all risk being victims. So I started crying out for the fear of the LORD. I repented for pride and keep repenting and praying that I never get to a point where I feel no desire to draw anything from the LORD. I need Him so much. He has taken me from the miry clay and put me on solid ground. Could I go back to who I was? NO! So what is this pride that would make me think I am more important than the LORD? Living for myself? My sin is ever so great. I need Jesus. I need cleansing and I still need to decrease. Oh LORD help me. Soldout should be my name. Yet even now, I am still far from being Paul, or Peter, etc, who lived only for JESUS….

mmm hmm … extremely beautiful …extremely beautiful testimonies of God’s grace, love, mercy, forgiveness, and faithfulness … it spurs me on … and i only want to be spurred on and to be able to spur the rest of the set-apart generation on … because the road we tread is a lot more difficult and challenging … lift me up … because i’ll be heading back up to school on monday morning … i’m ready … but more of God’s grace is always good … you have yourself a wonderful weekend too … His love to you!
Your love for God is inspiring. Please pray for me.
