This is our God...

You knew everything about me, before I was even formed.

You know every word I speak, years before I speak them.

You see my heart, & how it longs for the things of You.

You see the real me, when no one else can, you always do.

You see how fragile we, Your creation, really are.

You love us with an unreplicable love.
How precious to us are Your thoughts O' God, they out number the sand.

Your ways are not our ways, Your thoughts are so much higher.

Your heart is to see us grow, to be just like You, Father, the only One who will never leave us or forsake us.

You love us with an undying love.

I love You, with ALL that's within me, my soul, my spirit longs for You, I can't get enough.

Let my praise be a sweet smelling fragrance to You, that You can't get enough, You must have more & more.

My jealous One, the only One who can & will fill all the voids in me, the ones that NO man can fill. Their love can't compare to Yours, it's nothing like it.

Your Light outshines the darkest of nights. Darkness is as Light to You.

Your love is life.

Let us be still. Let us wait patiently & know; You are God, You do great & mighty things.

From ashes to ashes, Your love will remain...You will remain...Only You remain...

Daylight Is Coming to Break the Dawn...

"All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. And the Light shines in the darkness, but the darkness did not comprehend it..."

...John 1.3~5...

Light. What is Light?
Websters defines Light as: 1. A measure or supply of light; Illumination.
2. A state of awareness or understanding, especially as derived from a particular source.



So lately, I don't know why, but I've had this thing for Light. I've wanted to know more about it, what significance it has, why it's important, etc. And as I read this scripture earlier today, I got this kind of thought, or revelation if you will...
Light is our life source. Light is what keeps us from being overwhelmed with darkness.
When you switch on the light in a dark room, is there any point of darkness where the light has hit? Is there any place where the light's not seen? Even in the shadows the light is more overwhelming than the darkness. If you sit in the shadows the light is still visible, the light is constantly occuring until you shut that light off.
When we let the Light consume every single part of our lives, that Light starts to seep out of us and light everything else. But when we let darkness in, little bits at a time, not noticing it, we start to dim, we start to lose the Light, our life-source. We start to fit into the shade of the world, the darkness becomes our camoflage.
This is why Light is so important. This is why we need the Light; to stay alive.

We are the sons and daughters of Light...

"You are the Light of the world...Let your Light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven."
...Matthew 5.14 & 16

I'll never stop singing...

This is the song I sing to You,
the melody I can't get out of my head,
the song I'll never forget...
Because it's our song, the song I sang
when we danced for the first time.
The song I sang everytime I thought about You,
everytime I think about You...
my heart races,
my palms sweat,
butterflies fill my stomach.
I can't ever forget.
I don't want to ever forget, because

I love You,
You save me, always.
You'll never leave my side,
even when I'm unfaithful, unreliable,
I know that You will always be.
Here with me, by my side.
I'll love You, You'll love me to no end.

This is my song, this is my heart.
I'll never stop singing, never stop singing to You,
my Love, my Life.
Everything I am is because of You,
without You, I am nothing,
without You I can't survive.

I love You,
You save me, always.
You'll never leave my side,
even when I'm unfaithful, unreliable,
I know that You will always be.
Here with me, by my side.
I'll love You, You'll love me to no end.

I'll never stop singing, [3x]
Never stop, let it grow.
Louder & louder, sing to the end.
Sing your heart out to Him,
& let Him sing His song to you...

I love you, I died for you,
I'll never leave your side,
even when you're unfaithful, unreliable,
know that I'll always be.
There with you, here with you, by your side.
I love you, I love you to no end...

Only YOU Remain...

I took today to tell You how I felt.
I took today to examine myself.
To tell You all I could
with as many words as I could say,
but none of them were enough.
No words could describe You and all that You are,
no thought could contain You.
How wonderful You are...
My God. My Saviour, You're always there for me..
continually, eternally.
the One who always remains.
No man could ever, no man would ever
sit with me as I wait in silence, just listening;
like You would.
Only You remain...
The Truth that outscreams the lies.
The Light that outshines the darkness.
Tho only One who can see Himself in my eyes.
The only One who has me, all of my heart.
My first,
my last,
my present,
my past.
My today, my tomorrow, forever...

I took today to tell You how I felt.
I took today to examine myself.
To tell You as many waords as I could say;
but none of them were enough...

"Towers fall and kingdoms crumble,
Mountains bow and the earth will tremble,
At the sound of Your name,
The strong man falls to Him who humbles
The plans he made were bound to stumble
And only You remain..."

You are my Rock, on You I stand...

"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the Rock.
The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the Rock.
But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."

As I was reading this parable last night during my quiet time, I got a revelation of what Jesus was trying to say when He was telling it: When we go through tests & trials, & the storm comes, are we prepared to stand firm in Jesus' words? Are we strong enough in Him? In His word, to take everything the devil throws our way? Is our foundation truly on the Rock? Have we given Him everything? Have we let everything go? Or are we like the fool who built his house on the sand? Are we just living day to day for ourselves with out meaning or purpose, and setting a few hours of one day a week sitting in church to "spend time with God" while all we're really doing is wondering about all that we have to do today, or where we'll go for lunch afterwards? Not getting into the Word every chance we have but instead getting into the world? Are we prepared to fight against the devil and his schemes when the storms come and the waters rise? When the winds blow and the rain falls? Or are we just going to let it overcome us and wash us and our faith away?
But what I'm really wondering is...
Is your foundation on the Rock? Have you built your entire life on the Rock? Have you fallen on the Rock? Or has the Rock fallen on you after the waters washed everything away and everything fallen with a crash?

Someone I once knew [who was unsaved at the time, and didn't truly know THE God I'm talking about but had his own idea of Him] told me that one of his main goals in life was to "simply" make a few ripples in the world, [which to myself seemed like a pointless goal to have, because God didn't call us and set us apart simply to make some ripples in the world, but to make waves. Huge, tsunami, tidal waves] As I thought about what he said for a minute or two, I simply replied, In order to make even the slightest of ripples, you have to have the Rock in hand first.

Let the other's see you've got your victory...

There's a Light at the end of this tunnel shining bright, oh, so bright.
I can't take my eyes off of It,
It draws me in.
Everytime I blink, I long for every second my eyes missed a chance to gaze upon It's beauty, longing to see that picture of perfection...the hope that keeps me going.
I'm reaching...approaching
closer...closer...
My hand reaches out for It, I'm almost there...until...doubt rushes towards me, full speed ahead, knocking at my door, unresting, unending.
The Light gets further, and further away, as I pull myself from It, propelled by doubt...fear...anger...pain...
Why am I going through this fire, I thought I gave everything to You, I held nothing back from You...
or so I thought.
I wouldn't listen, I took my heart out of Your hands, and I let someone who it didn't belong to have it...hold it...crush it...break it...throw it away.
I lay there, crying out to anyone who would listen, my heart beside me...I frantically search for all of the pieces, but found one missing,
then I remembered...it was never there to begin with.

I hear the voice of One so gentle, loving, & kind...
I lift my head to find I'm back in the tunnel; there's the Light, I'm closer then I was before.
I see Him pointing to an object that's next to me, an object that has been refined by fire, it looks new, pure, unscathed,
I pick it up to see that it was the heart that had been broken, dashed to pieces, it had been mended, I find all of the pieces there, even the one that had been missing, it's shaped like the One standing before me.
I stand in awe, gazing into His loving eyes.
With tears running down my face, I reach over and hand the heart to Him...knowing it's now in the right hands.
He gazes into my soul and smiles, opens His arms, I run into them, unwilling to let Him go.
He holds my heart so close to His, I won't take it back.
He leads me further, I find I'm no longer in the tunnel, the darkness disappears,
now I'm standing in the Light...



"I was with you in the valley,
and up upon that hill.
So take just one more step in front of you,
for I am with you still..."

I won't fall as long as You're around me...

There's a song I love by the band Needtobreathe, called "Washed by the Water" and what it meant never really hit me until today.
A lot has been happening lately, tests and trials that we've been through before, and I know that
without God's hand in my life, I would be in a place where I shouldn't be, doing things I shouldn't be doing. And even though it seems like God is just sitting back watching us go through these things again, I know He isn't.
Even when the world crumbles under my feet, I won't be moved, I won't fall into the trap satan makes of the lies that God never listens, that He doesn't care and that He just sits back and watches us go to hell. He's our net when we fall, He's the hand that catches us, the shoulder we can cry on, the reason to go on living for tomorrow.
When all these tests and trials come and we've either failed or succeeded, learning from our mistakes, He washes all of our sins away. He died for this reason.
Even when doubt comes,
even when the strorms come,
when the water rises, and tries to wash us away,
the River of Life comes and drowns us and washes us away in His love.
We sink in His grace, our hearts become one.
And we know that He'll get us through the things that we fear we'll never get out of, the things that seem to consume us, and we can let go and give it all to Him, because that's what He died for, His love is towards us, not against us.
