remember 1

Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.

Jesus please

I'm not used to this.

to look at myself and rip open my heart to look for what is broken. what is sinful, and to pull it out along with my shame and guilt. to present it up as the only offering I can present that does not disappear in my palm.

to stand before the Almighty to answer for my life in which I have no words, no excuses to give.

I am someone who should have received judgment because I am not many things: I am not ambitious nor righteous nor just, I am none of these things.

but I am a sinner.

but as sure as I know that I am a sinner, I know another thing to be just as true. that I  am not only a witness to the glory and majesty of Yahweh but I am a recipient of His love and mercy.

"But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness."

Lord, I know who I am. I know of the selfishness, the pride, the jealousy, the evil that even I cannot find the courage to type out.

cut me down, a tower of babel and the arrogance of the self, the tree I have grown of myself into the stump You desire to breathe life into.

and when You bloom me, let them see of the good You have sprung from what was once bad.

and be glorified.

today I was reminded (again)

that God is for, and not against.

that my obedience is a response to the good that He is doing in my life and not a quote that prevents bad things from happening.

that things will work out

that I am loved, because I was first loved.

that I have a long way to go, but I've come a long way.

great is thy faithfulness

"The Lord is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him."

The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him.

-

why should I put my trust in things unclear

when time and time again the Lord has proven His great love for me

truly, peace is found in no other but the Almighty

-

It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord .

It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

Let him sit alone in silence when it is laid on him;

let him put his mouth in the dust— there may yet be hope;

let him give his cheek to the one who strikes, and let him be filled with insults.

-

let me wait in silence, but in confidence.

deliverance is coming, salvation is already here.

prayer pt. I forgot

hello,

how are you, what's on your mind?

I'm okay, just a little confused here and there and I guess this is one of those times. my heart doesn't beat the same way sometimes, and I was wondering if you knew what's up.

overall everything is going well, sometimes the world gets a little heavy but it's nothing you can't lift. honestly, there's only one direction to go and I don't instead on sitting just yet so I'm gonna just keep going.

I think I should just say the rest out loud, one second.

no more handkerchiefs

You will seek me and find me,

when you seek me with all your heart.
