What Makes Me Happy and Excited -- What I Long For

This morning I was overcome with the desire to reach people for Christ -- so much so that I could not stop crying out to the Lord...

If Paul says he is the chiefest of sinners, but changed by grace, then i boldly confess that i am the chiefest of timids, BUT GOD...

I know that my greatest weaknesses are only an opportunity for Him to show Himself strong on my behalf -- that when we realize that we are extremely lacking, that is when God can truly SHOW UP!

And so I wait...on You, Lord, and Your timing....

My Soul Need

A Moment with You

Oh, how wonderful it is to have a moment with You, Lord
Soooo peaceful....soooo refreshing....

I have felt someone's effort to wound my heart today,
And just want to come to you now
To ask afresh for her healing...

I ask that You bless her with real and honest healing
Of her heart and emotional baggage and pain
That she would be able to once and for all
Release them all to You

And then receive the true and overflowing
Fullness of Who You Are...
Who You Really Are, Lord

For You are Everything:
All Goodness, All Purity,
All Overwhelming Grace,
All Wisdom, All Purifying,
All Healing, All Abiding LOVE.

Once we are really IN YOU
We have no lack at all...

Words fail me, Lord,
But I know Your heart
And my heart are in sync
And I bless her
And forgive her
And love her with You.

Lovely

How lovely is breathing out Your name
J eeee  ssssss   uuuu   ssssss

To delight in the thought of You
To worship the ground that You walk upon

To love to be with You because You love to be with me

To ramble on with the raptures of
Two who speak their own language

O King, You too have captured
My heart
With one look of Your eyes...

Hope - Full

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.  Romans 8:24-25

God, You have given me great HOPE today

HOPE that all my dear friends
Will find their way
In You

You lead them
So gently
By Your Spirit

And so skillfully
Have placed
Just the
Right People
(Or lack thereof)
In Their Lives

And Then
So sovereignly
Allow circumstances
In their lives
To touch them,
To mold them,
To chasten them,
To empty them,
To transform them,
To fill them

Once again
With
HOPE

(My Dearest Lord,
You have become
My Only Hope)

(My Dearest Lord,
Hope in You
Never Has
Disappointed me,
Ever)

(My Dearest Lord,
How I cherish
You and I,
And
Our Hope for
Life in You,
Now And Forevermore)

Quiet

"God, my shepherd! I don't need a thing. You have bedded me down in lush meadows, You find me quiet pools to drink from. True to Your word, You let me catch my breath and send me in the right direction."
(Psalm 23 the message)

How I am enjoying Your quiet streams today, Lord...

Let all that You are wash over and over me
Like the Ocean's Mighty Waves

And then lap the shore in
Gentle, Peaceful Pulses
of Grace
