Taking time to stop our business...

Turning off the worldly distractions...

Quieting our mind and soul...

Approaching the throne of Heaven

With reverence...

Giving our All to God our creator.

Oh.......

To Worship Our Heavenly Father.

Recently had a precious friend give me a CD of worship. It speaks so deeply to my soul. This song means so much to me. Oh, to escape to the arms of my Heavenly Father. There is nothing like a Holy Hug from God.

ALL OF ME
by Christ for the Nations(Perfect Love, album)

When I'm captured by Your gaze;
The whole world fades away.
Then the troubles I once knew
Dissipate in Your embrace;
When your beauty I behold-
In my heart, one thing I know
Earthly things are held and dross.

Just to know You even more.

So let me pour my love on You
Like a fragrance from my heart.
Feel Your love surround me
As You wrap me in Your arms.
Take me to Your chambers,
Where Your beauty's all I see;
The place where nothing matters
But to give You all of me.

Why? Fairness? God give me strength

Life is so very heavy now.

Holding onto hope,

God won't allow more than I can bear.

Will the question of "why" ever stop for me?

My emotions feel the unfairness of a

A young woman with cancer,

Suffering and barely hanging onto Life.

She is a beautiful person!

She tries so hard to be positive, always.

Why and for what purpose will this serve?

God, give me peace in this.

Give me strength to be light;

For your message and words

To flow out of my mouth.

May my words be a comfort

To the weak, suffering or lost one.

God use me as your vessel.

Help me have a joyful countenance.

May all Glory and Honor come

To You, Most Holy Father

Are We Seeking the Lost Lamb

Are we being light amidst the darkness of this world?

Are others drawn to Christ by the Christ they see in our life?

Are our actions and reactions Christlike?

Are we truly seeking the lost, not wanting anyone to perish?

"Do you understand what I have done for you?" he asked them. "You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now tha I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no servant is greather than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them." John13:12-17

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. Colossians3:2-3

But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 2Peter 3:8-9

Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear-hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh. Jude 1:22-23

"Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep. I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent." Luke 15:6-7

How Awesome God Is

The variations of our spiritual life.
Wanting growth, fighting stagnation;
Wanting Holiness, fighting temptation;
Wars of the spiritual kind...
For our very souls.
Oh what turmoil and strife
Can try to consume and discourage
Our spiritual life.

God is patient,
He is unchanging and
Faithful to carry us
When we feel unsure.
He is our strength
Our rock and fortress,
The Redeemer of our souls.
He is an awesome God
Of love and forgiveness.
The Holy shed BloodOf Jesus
Saves my life.

He lifts my head,
When sadness and sorrow
I am feeling.
His love fills my soul
With spiritual gladness and joy.
Oh, God of all Comfort
And Holy Wisdom;
Instill in me today
The Hunger and Thirst,
The Yearning for
Your Holy
And Powerful Way.

"And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness. The unclean will not journey on it; it will be for those who walk in that Way; wicked fools will not go about on it. No lion will be there; they will not be found there.But only the redeemed will walk there, and the ransomed of the Lord will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads.Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away." Isaiah 35:8-10.

God's Eternal Love

Love the lyrics of this song. Praise and Thanks to God for His eternal love for His creation.

To Ever live Without Me

by Jody MacBrayer

The choices, even though you knew the lines

You'd have to cross for me

You made them anyway

Voices, as you knelt there in the garden

'Neath the olive tree

You heard me call your name

I cannot pretend to understand it all

But heaven knew the reason you were there

Chorus

It was all about a man

It was all about a cross

It was all about the blood that was shed

So I would not be lost

It was all about the love

That was bigger than a life

It was all about a freedom that was given

Through your sacrifice

'Cause you would rather die

Than to ever live without me

Helpless, that's humanity without your saving grace

So misled

Selfless, you could have called ten thousand angels

Down to take your place

But you took mine instead

I cannot pretend to understand it all

But heaven knew the reason you were there

Chorus

A greater love has no one than this

That he will lay his life down for his friends

Chorus

It was all about a man

It was all about a cross

It was all about the blood that was shed

So I would not be lost

It was all about the love

That was bigger than a life

It was all about a freedom that was given

Through your sacrifice

'Cause you would rather die

Than to ever live without me

PEACE, AWE AND WORSHIP

Peace to my soul

through the worship and fellowship

with my Heavenly Father,

who has called me by name....

I am His servant.

Simplicity, Solitude, Silence and Surrender.

The Awesomeness and Beauty,

God has created.....

Here worldliness and distractions

go away.

Praise and All Glory,

to God for His son"s

Shed Blood....

Holy Father restore, revive and refresh

the Holy Spirit residing within me.

Strengthen my faith and my witness,

that all may be drawn to you.

Fulfill your Holy purposes

through this willing servant.

Praise

To your Holy Name Forever.

God's Evening Artistry

O Lord, our Lord,

how Majestic is your name

in All the Earth! Psalm 9:1

What Does My Life Reflect?

Am I a mirrored reflection

of Christ residing and guiding

all in my life?

Are the words, actions and motives

of my life Christlike?

I must have Jesus, Jesus, Jesus-

First in my Life above all else.

I must seek his guidance always.

Prayer......increased intimacy.

Praise......inner Joy and Peace.

God's word....instructs and guides

in all life choices.

God's word in our heart....

Defeats

the schemes and temptations of Satan,

and to resist Worldliness....

My life reflects

my beliefs and strength of my faith.

God is glorified for the difference

and the strength that his presence

makes in my life.

God of all beauty, sacrifice and

Unconditional Love......

I love you Lord!

Obedience in all areas of Life.
Is all in my life dedicated
and submitted to the Will of God?
If I hold back any part,
not giving ALL to God....
Then I can expect
some separateness from God
and miss out on
the Blessings he intends for me?
My human nature wants to be in control,
I can do this....
Have I asked God if it is okay,
and in his will?
If God reigns supreme in my life,
I will want him involved in ALL
things of my life.
God help my heart and soul
to be consumed by your presence,
your guidance, your faithfulness,
your Holy Word and the peace
that comes from all of this.
May you reside in me,
and may I live my Life
for your Holy Purposes.
