Heartfelt Devotion

“I am ready to burn out for God. I am ready to endure any hardship, if by any means I might save some. The longing of my heart is to make known my glorious Redeemer to those who have never heard.”


William Burns, missionary to China, 1815-1868.

You've caught my attention w/ your unmistakable beauty

You have a way w/ words that makes my heart beat quick to the sound of a distant yet clear audible melody. The trees breathe in life when you exhale and the grass greens w/ every joyful tear. Flowers bloom while sun rays dance above in the crisp blue sky.


Though there's a stillness, you are ever present.


I lie awake and dream of far off lands one day I will hopefully visit. Where mother's are dying to save the lives of their children, and the eyes of the fatherless are empty.


Lord, you are the father to the fatherless. You are the mender of the broken hearted. You are the comforter and strength to the depressed and weak. You are beautiful in every way... and God, your love extends far beyond the walls of this house I live in.



You will forever hold my gaze upon your unmistakable beauty.

Building character,
Shaping futures...

Living Redeemed.

Drenched

I have a lot on my mind and all I want is to be drenched in the peace of God.

God in his perfection has hand-crafted me into the beautiful masterpiece I am. He put every hair in place, chose my eye color, skin color, molded my fingers and toes... and here I am completely unique; unlike any other.



Jeremiah 1:5 (The Message)

"Before I shaped you in the womb,
I knew all about you.
Before you saw the light of day,
I had holy plans for you:
A prophet to the nations—
that's what I had in mind for you."

Insignificant

Carry the weight...
take it all away...
it's no longer of use to me.

I hate being subjected to things that are of absolute insignificance to my future.

Stop wasting my time...
I have better things to do...

I'm moving on...
you should too .

Happy Easter!

Hello friends,
I trust you all had a relaxing and enjoyable Sunday; I know I have!
I've never been so aware of God's greatness than I have in the last week. One thing I tackled was my room; a big mess! I ended up over 2 days, donating clothes, dusting/vacuuming, sorting, rearranging, and I've been making my bed everyday.
Now, you may be wondering how that goes along with the greatness of God... so let me tell you. Before when my room was messy and cluttered I disliked going in there except to sleep. However, since it's been clean I've spent more time in my room reading my Bible and reading the book I bought, "when God writes your love story." It's become more of an intimate place for me and God. I enjoy worshipping in my room and gaining new ideas of how I can decorate!

Did you know God even cares about how we decorate our rooms? How awesome is that! God loves us beyond anything we could ever imagine so much so that He wants to have a part in how we decorate! That should get you thinking - what else does God care about where my life is concerned that I'm not involving him in?

--------------------------------------------------------------

God sent HIS son to die on the cross [and rise again] so that we would live!

My friend, YOU live because God chose YOU to be on this earth for such a time as this. YOU are not a mistake, YOU are not hopeless, YOU are called, YOU are equipped with the tools to conquer the enemy, and live for a God that was beaten beyond recognition because HE LOVES YOU!

How can we argue with that?
