“I’m slowly changing…
…Setting out with such righteous indignation
But now I’m at Your feet…”
As hard
as I could try, Jesus…You bring my attention back to You. As much as
I want to look the other way–You set my eyes back on You. You hold on
to me, through the good &
the bad, and Your mercy is beautiful. I can’t run, I can’t hide…I
won’t leave. The
world…it pulls me in. The people, the stuff, the noise…time and
time again…it pulls me. It’s all temporary. It really means nothing.
I’m not going
to give in..or give up. You draw me nearer…You draw me to Yourself. There is no compromise in the Truth…
For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for Me will find it. What
good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his
soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?
[[ Mt. 16:25-26]]
This world has nothing for me..and all I could want is in You.
I want to yearn for You, Jesus. –set this heart on fire with Your love & light.

Amen, amen… Lord, this is our prayer. We cry out to You–draw us closer. We don’t want to run. Let us long for You and yearn for You in a deep way, and let our hearts be aflame with Your Spirit…

Thank you. Your posts always seems to be prayers I don’t know how to word. It’s such a privilege to know you as a sister… =)

i love this song.
this world has nothing for me.
that phrase has been resounding in my brain since a youth camp i was a counselor at a couple weeks ago. its interesting…. how true it is, yet how miserable we make ourselves when we feel as though we arent getting what we want out of the world.
simple truth.
yet so difficult to make part of our reality.
anyway… sorry for the tangent! enjoy your weekend!
what song is this?!
its beautiful.
i love how he captures our hearts.
i love it.
What song is this? Just wow. I love this whole post, I desperately needed to be reminded of that today.
Amen. Have a nice weekend Arielle.

I just read that verse the other day. I love it and it is so true. It is amazing how He draws us so close to Him. So close to His heart. He helps us through every trial, and through them He teaches us how to make Him our first and greatest Love. Because that it what He should be… and that is what He is.
Beautiful thoughts! Who is the artist singing in your background?
I love that song. *listens*
We’ll keep in touch. I won’t let you stop talking to me.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst…
…your desires will be filled.
“God, I pray Thee, light these idle sticks of my life, that I may burn for Thee. Consume my life, my God, for it is Thine. I seek not a long life, but a full one, like You, Lord Jesus.”
Jesus. That is all.
The Lord richly bless you sister.
your brother,

Arielle…sister, is your heart wholly given to Him? Or are there others who have a part of it? He deserves it all. Our Jealous God wants all of you…
God bless you in Malaysia.
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.Psalm 2:8
May you see the Lord in the beauty of His holiness.
Your brother in Christ,
