You have been so kind
So gentle, time after time
Of all of the years that i’ve come
You’re still the one to whom i run
When everything changes
You remain the same
When all around, the world is shaken -
You remain
So Holy Spirit come,
How i long for your touch
i was made for much more
Than the things that are so easily changed.
i was made to love You and be loved by...
Just A Little Breeze: Beat Speak →
My dearest friends,
I felt so compelled by the Lord yesterday to contact you and share this specific truth will you all. I desperately want to explain it to the full extent that which I feel, but that is neither my place nor my responsibility. Pray that the Lord may make your heart receptive to the truth that is within these lines.

i am good at a lot of bad things… wait, let me rephrase that… My flesh is good at longing after the things of the flesh.

I don’t think the process of bearing fruit is ever pretty. There is beauty in it and a sweet yet sometimes painful journey, but Jesus didn’t pretend that it was easy to follow him… that is why i love this quote.

“Love is grand. But here’s the deal, if you are single, who said your love can only come from a romantic encounter? I’ve learned that I receive love in so many different ways. In so many different relationships. In ways that are peaceful, freeing, and fulfilling. I do not have to be completed outside of myself any longer” @goodwomenproject
sign that you are believer
I do not claim the right to discern who is a believer or not, but the Bible is clear on many things and these “things” have been on my mind.
Lately, I have been battling everyday.
I have been battling my inclination to compromise, to slide into complacency. I have been battling my proclivity to self-pity and my search for someone to provide me comfort/identity.

confession: i’m really good at feeling sorry for myself & running in circles with my self-pity.
And i hate it. i think its fair and biblical to hate something like this.
when i sit and mope and cry and whine and feel sorry for myself, i dismiss all the things God has done and i miss out of the JOY that is promised onto me by the truth that as His child, God is always for me…

thrilled because I am loved.
John Piper tweeted this earlier today and I loved it.
“Why are you thrilled to be loved by Jesus? “
Here is my answer:
I am thrilled to me loved by Jesus because He makes made me new. Every time I hear lies from saying otherwise, I can cling to the reality that He gave me new life.
I am thrilled to be loved by Jesus because His sacrifice forever speaks over my life.
I am...
