PSALMS 73:25

WHOM HAVE I IN HEAVEN BUT YOU? AND BESIDES YOU, I DESIRE NOTHING ON EARTH.

 

Commitment

We are doing the Purpose Driven Life Book by Rick Warren in our home group.
Last night was a great lesson in chapter 14 (When God Seems Distant)
And one of the questions was have you ever felt like God was distant and if so how did you respond?
This question stirred something so with in me so deep. Because I have been in a place where I felt like God was very distant. I didn’t understand what was going on and why,
I felt like I was on a road that was pitch dark and if I turned to the left or the right I couldn’t see. I didn’t know how this would turn out.

But I was so committed to God, to Jesus I won’t turn back, I can’t go back!!
NO matter what it takes God I love you so much that I will never let go.
You mean so much to me I can’t ever imagine my life without you.
You are my everything Jesus, you saved me from Hell itself I will worship you ALWAYS!

You are the blood that runs through my vein
You are the one who makes my heart beat
You are the one who gave me sight
You gave me the ability to breath
And every breath that I take is yours
All that I am, All that I’m not I’M YOURS LORD!!!!
I will worship you in the storm
I will praise you in that dark place
All that is within me I will bless your Holy Name!

You first loved me when I didn’t even acknowledge you as God.
The most I can do is Love you,
I’ll give you everything. (My life)

Kirk Franklin Song: The Appeal
You are my soul
It’s your love that keeps me strong
You are my light
In the darkness of my night
I’m lost without you
Broken without you
Oh how I need you
You make life worth living
Your grace always keeps giving
I’m lost without you
I’m broken without you
Oh how I need you
Life begins and life will end with you

This states it all!
So I ask you have you ever felt like God was distant. What was your response?

 

Glory to Glory

I encourage you to read cbgrace blog it’s great.

She states that in order to hear the secrets of God we must seek his heart.Amen

This statement jumps into my soul.

I love the Lord so much

He desires the truth in the inward parts stated in Psalms.

The truth is where he thrives

He is just like a Father who desires to spend every waking moment with his child.

He wants to see our first steps, hear our first words

Be there when we fall so he can catch us with open arms

Embrace us with his love

We don’t serve a distant God

We serve a God who draws near to us as we draw near to him

He loves us, he wants to reveal every thing to his children

he wants to tell us the plans and purpose he has for us

He wants intimacy

As our Pastor Robin Steele states

Intimacy comes with honesty

 

FALLING IN LOVE WITH JESUS

Restore, Rekindle,Reunite your love with Jesus. God wants us to Reunite with our first love.

This song comes to mind.

Falling in love with Jesus,Falling in love, I’m falling in love with Jesus

It’s the best thing I have ever done.

When we think about our first love we think about a crush or first boy/girl friend that we thought we were in love with. But in reality our first love is God our Father.

1 John 4:16,19

And as we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him. We love him because he first loved us.

We are created to love and honor God.

He saw us in love and knew we needed a savior his only son. Jesus Christ.

We teach and train our children in God. Because we know they need a savior. We teach them that our Creator, Father. Loves us so much that he gave his only child when we couldn’t imagine any hurt or harm done to our children. God allowed death, and resurrection so that we may live a life of purpose, freedom, love, a life that glorifies him. All in all!

Romans 5:8

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

Jeremiah 31:3

The Lord has appeared of old to me, saying: Yes I have drawn you with an everlasting love:Therefore with lovingkindness I have drawn you.
