“Eternally Grateful”

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His One and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

I just thought I’d give glory to my Savior. I love my God so so much because He gave of Himself for me; and, not only for me, but for all. For all those who would believe, and accept Him.
When I think of Him though, all I feel is shame. Shame at myself. Shame for not living a life totally pleasing to Him. He loves me so much that He would lay down His life to save me. And what do I give Him in return?? Unfaithfulness. Doubt. Pride. A stubborn heart. And yet again… unfaithfulness. I am ashamed at myself for not always giving my 100%. It’s what He deserves! I couldn’t live, if it weren’t for Him. I wouldn’t breathe, if it weren’t for Him! I couldn’t see another beautiful bright sunny day… if it weren’t for Him.
Who do you think we’d be without Him? Where would we be without Him?? We could not live if He didn’t give us life. We could not breathe if He didn’t give us breath. We owe our lives to the Life giver! We owe our future to the Promise giver! We are eternally in debt to the one who Saved us; to the one who Loves us.
I could not live one more day without giving Him my gratitude. I dare not take another breath without honoring my King. I am eternally grateful because when I had nothing, He gave me all. Before my existence, He knew my name. He destined me for royalty. I can be nothing less… cuz my daddy, He’s a King! I am eternally grateful. No longer in shame, I bless His name. I am eternally blessed. I am a daughter of a Mighty King. A daughter, His royalty. I am His little princess, no less I can be. I am eternally His… serving His majesty.
No longer does sin abound in me. Those chains were loosed and now I am free! He loves me, I know that indeed. He’s proud of His little girl. His princess, that’s me.

…yeah, that’s me!

"Even You"

So anyway, here I am, sitting at my desk, thinking.

About what you ask? Well, everything! I’m thinking about everything, especially about my family and friends.

Like I was telling someone not to long ago, “I feel like I’m loosing everyone.” I’ve been feeling very lonely lately. I suppose she didn’t think this included her, since it was her who I was talking to. But yes, it included her. Anyway, I didn’t think she’d pick up on it. You’d have to be paying close attention. ::sigh::
I suppose I shouldn’t expect to have a large amount of people in my life since I don’t go out and meet more people anyway. It just feels like time is flying… yet going so slow at the same time. Thanksgiving is right around the corner. And so is Christmas. You know, “The Holidays.”

Anyway, I’m not going to dwell on this too much. I know I’ll be alright. I guess I just have the “Holiday Blues.” Yup, the times when you miss the family members you don’t get to see (in my case, all of them), and when you miss all your ‘real’ friends and generally, people from your past. You even miss people you have yet to meet. ::hint hint::

Even that “special someone.”

"I'll Listen for Them"

Yes… I remember it! I remember that dream.
—It was more of a revelation. It’s so clear in my mind still…

That day, I went to sleep (like any other day),
But You changed the norm to what I believe was more than a dream…

You woke me up!
The room, my clothes, everything was the same
Except…
I saw your hand… your arm… your robe
Glowing, piercing through my bedroom ceiling
You handed me a paper—then a pencil.

Your words followed right after.
I can’t say it was audible
But my spirit heard and knew what you were saying.

…You had a message; one you wanted me to write down.
I knew who it was for too!
And just as I was ready to write, I awoke!
It was already the next day!

So, here I am with paper and pen,
In total silence, as I’m laying my head
…I’m thinking about the lost souls
The ones who cannot hear, or see
Those who are precious to my Savior
But can’t find their way it seems.

I’ll listen for them.
Lord, what would you have me say?
I can almost hear that still small voice saying,
“Would you tell them?”
…So here I am.

I’ll listen … for them.

Ezekiel 22:30

"I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall

and stand before me on behalf of the land so I wont have to destroy it,

but I found none."

*Would you stand in the gap for them?

Precious in Christ

When you think about it, it’s pretty obvious why diamonds, precious stones, and fine jewelry are placed in front of black velvet cloth while on display. It’s so that one can appreciate its lustrous beauty.

When we come to Christ, the bible says that we are hidden in Him. So now His glory is revealed through us—as these precious diamonds. Our sins are behind us, (black velvet cloth) and only His glory can be seen (precious diamond). We are this precious diamond.

Romans 8:1 “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” Psalms 103: 11-12 “For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His love for those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.”

This means that we, indeed, are guilty... but God redeems His children. The blood of Jesus redeems those who belong to Him.

Job 33:8 “He redeemed my soul from going down to the pit, and I will live to enjoy the light.” Psalms 34:22 “The Lord redeems His servants; no one will be condemned who takes refuge in Him.


Colossians 3: 1-9
“Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.”
