hey...well today...this song has just been on my mind....it goes like this...
"YOU wont' relent until you have it all...MY HEART IS YOURS."...
and that chorus just keeps on repeating over and over again...
God is speaking here to us saying that He is always going to be pursuing us not matter where we are...He is going to be waiting for us...
know this..that no matter how far think you are from God He's just right there.....there's no place that you can ever go that will be to far for HIS LOVE to reach you....
As it says," HOW HIGH, HOW DEEP HOW, HOW LONG, HOW WIDE IS THE LOVE OF GOD:
YOU CAN'T MEASURE IT...HIS LOVE IS EVERYWHERE.. HE IS EVERYWHERE..GOD IS LOVE..
SO KNOW THAT YOU CAN NEVER BE TO FAR TO BE OUT OF HIS REACH...HE WILL KEEP DRAWING YOU NEARER AND NEARER TO HIMSELF.
As we know we all still have our issues and stuff we go through...things we hold on to so tightly...things that our heart that is so easily deceived by...and sometimes it's just hard to let go of them....but as the days go on may we continue little by little to TRUST HIM...learning to give it over to HIM. LETgo.LETGOD..
GIVE HIM YOUR HEART....let HIS LOVE heal the deep wounds your heart has suffered in the past...
TRUST the ONE to take care of your heart....to give your UNKNOWN FUTURE...to a KNOWN GOD.
Fully Rely on God...F.R.O.G.
AND MAY WE BE ABLE TO RESPOND TO HIS LOVE BY SAYING...
"MY HEART IS YOURS"

FRIENDS
FRIENDS...
Friends are awesome....we wouldn't be who we are today without our friends. Friends are there to help you when you need help, when you need someone to talk to, when you have fallen they are there to pick u up.
Treasure relationships...spend time on things that really matter. not like spending hours on useless things such as internet, watching tv, sleeping...you name it...
remember you can't take your things to heaven with you but you can take your FRIENDS...so invest time in things that will last and not on things that pass away eventually...
LOVE....live a life of love...loving God and loving others...and also youself...=D of course.
CHOOSE YOUR FRIENDS WISELY...
there is a quote, "TELL ME WHO YOUR FRIENDS ARE AND I WILL TELL YOU WHO YOU ARE."
who are your closest friends? who do u spend the most time with? who do u want to be like?
then choose who has an influence on you. choose to hang around those people who will make you a better person.
As a christian our goal is to be like Jesus...so here's a question?
ARE YOU HANGING AROUND HIM ENOUHG?
are u spending time with your REAL BEST FRIEND?
if you want to be like HIM then learn to spend time with HIM to know what HE'S like...
it's not only when you read the Bible, but you can be aware of HIM and walk with HIM at all times...no matter what you are doing...
see what HE'S up to all the....say hey Jesus...'WHAT'S UP?".....
so may you spend more time with YOUR CREATOR...to know how HE is like so that you can become MORE AND MORE LIKE HIM..AND LOVE HIM MORE ...

This is the song that i love right now and expresses how we should abandon all that we are to the ONE who gave it all for us. With our arms lifted high...letting go of everything that our hand our holding onto and just giving everything to the ONE who rightly deserves everything. Give Him our hearts....and ask...
"What can i do for YOU?"
You stood before creation
Eternity within Your hand
You spoke the earth into motion
My soul now to stand
You stood before my failure
Carried the Cross for my shame
My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
My soul now to stand
So what can I say
What can I do
But offer this heart O God
Completely to You
So I'll walk upon salvation
Your Spirit alive in me
This life to declare Your promise
My soul now to stand
So I’ll stand
With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all
So I’ll stand
My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours
So may we be able give everything to the ONE who gave it all and say that
"ALL I AM IS YOURS"
LET.go.LETGOD
"What can i do for YOU?"

What can I do
But offer this heart O God

With arms high and heart abandoned
In awe of the One who gave it all

My soul Lord to You surrendered
All I am is Yours
So may we be able give everything to the ONE who gave it all and say that
"ALL I AM IS YOURS"
LET.go.LETGOD

"NOT MY WILL BUT YOURS BE DONE"--prayer
PRAYER!!
So powerful. do we even know it? what it can do to change our situations?
but why don't we do it all the time? are we missing out?
Why is it that some prayers are answered and other not? Why does God decide to show up here and not show up there? Or will God just do what He wants? if he does then what's the point of praying? If God can do anything why doesn't He just do it?
This is why prayer is sometimes confusing, so then we doubt that God will show up and so we don't bother praying because we don't believe that He will do something here and now.
Maybe we got this all twisted? Maybe we should be praying not for what we want...but for what He wants. Most of the time we always pray for God to do something for us. right? like God help me with this and that. i'm not saying it's a bad thing. God wants us to come to Him, but we need to grow deeper into our prayers not just praying for ourselves and our needs. We need to see what He wants us to do.
We need to Letgo of our wants and our selfish desires and LetGod reign.
What is that God wants from you? What does He want you to do?
It not about WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? but instead WHAT IS JESUS DOING?
TODAY...RIGHT HERE ...RIGHT NOW..
are we missing it?
For us to know what He wants us to do we always need to be OPEN.
OPEN to receive something new. Keeping our eyes and ears OPEN to see and hear from HIM.
OPENNESS includes HONESTY.
What's in your heart?
are there things that you haven't OPENED up to God yet? is there still a wall around things that you don't want God to intervene and work? are we building up walls to protect things that we are holding on to so tightly? are there things we can't LETgo of and LETGOD work in it? are we scared of what God might to say to us if we just HONESTLY OPEN up to HIM?
are there things in our lives that we are still trying to control because we think we can handle it and we want to see it happen a certain way....a way that we want it? not the way that GOD wants it.
when we take control what we are really saying is,
"GOD I CAN HANDLE THIS BETTER THAN YOU"
but really can we?
ARE WE REALLY TRUSTING GOD COMPLETELY?
not in some areas only. but in every area.
KNOW THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID....GOD CAN HANDLE EVERY SITUATION YOU ARE IN.. WHATEVER IS IN YOUR HEART....HE CAN TAKE WHATEVER YOU SAY TO HIM......
ANYTHING...WHATEVER..WHENEVER...
IS YOUR LIFE A MESS? PRAY....
PRAYER TRANSFORMS THINGS....CHANGES THINGS....
CHANGES YOU!!!
When you pray you tap into the power that created the whole universe.....WOW....
a universe that was a mess He created and made it beautiful...
GOD CAN TAKE YOUR MESS AND MAKE IT INTO A WORK OF ART.
IF YOU JUST PRAY AND LETgo and LETGOD work on you....
SO TODAY MY PRAYER IS THAT WE WILL BE OPEN, HONEST, AND LETgo of everything that we are holding on to....and LETGOD....REIGN IN US...ALLOWING HIM TO TRANSFORM US AND MOLD US INTO WHO WE ARE MADE TO BE...AND MAY WE BE ABLE TO SAY.....
"NOT MY WILL BUT YOURS BE DONE"

TODAY...LETgo.LETGOD...TRUST
Yey....i actually got around to doing a blog for once. I've been meaning to get one started for a while but i've never got around to it. Finally, now here it is. TA-DA!.. mhmmm...anyways( little happy moment there...so proud of myself..haha)
Last night was Ignite. We had this open mic thing where people shared their God stories. It was awesome listening to them. One thing that was similiar between the people who shared was their choice to LET GO..AND LET GOD. I think so many people struggle with this.
Why can't we just let go of what we want and let God do what He wants? Why is it so difficult just to let go? Don't we trust HIM in what He says? What does He say?
Jeremiah 29:11 (one of my fav verses)
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Look @ that!! If we really do trust God why worry about the things to come? why worry about the future? He's got it all planned out!
Live in the moment. Live in the now!
Don't worry about what u need to do tomorrow or the days to come and don't live in the past.
LETgo.LET GOD
LETgo.LET GOD.....give you a new spirit...one for HERE..NOW...TODAY..
Today is all you have. Make the best of it.
don't miss it?
carpe diem...SEIZE THE DAY.
So today may you LETgo of the past.... trust Him to take care of your tomorrow and live in the HERE.. NOW...TODAY!
