I love the Lord--or so I say....

I love the Lord-- or so I say..... When push comes to shove, do I choose the Lord or do I choose something that is much more familiar and much easier to go with? Do I choose to give up everything or do I choose to hold onto my own heart? Do I choose to lay down my life completely or do I choose to to protect it, fight for my own rights and defend myself at whatever cost? Do I choose to turn the other cheek?- give my tunic too?- go the second mile? Or do I only love those that are being easy to love? Even the pagans do that!

I have loved the Lord- but only because He first loved me. I have chosen the Lord- but only because He first chose me. I have laid down everything to follow Him- but only because He laid down everything to take hold of me.

I love the Lord--or so I say.... I do not want my lips to say one thing but heart to be far from it. I want to prove with everything that is in me that I LOVE THE LORD. If I call Him Lord then I submit to Him as Lord and I trust Him completely as Lord. He is Lord- He is my Lord- He is THE Lord.

No room for anything else-- I love the Lord

His Love Never Fails

I am so thankful to have a God that loves me, cares for me, upholds me and can never leave me nor forsake me. I am thankful to have a God that does not allow me to stay a "baby" - but through guidance, patience and discipline, helps to grow me up into a mature Christian. I love that as I surrender to Him- He makes me a servant of the Most High God.
I want to be His servant- a slave of Christ Jesus. I want to give Him everything-- that He might become Everything in and through me. *My life is not my own *I live for one reason- the Purposes of God *I will not violate the Law of Love

Encounter God Retreat 2010

It was so lovely to be back at Focal Point Church on Sunday. It had been several weeks since I had been there due to being in Uganda and then coming home and heading straight to the Encounter God Retreat. As we worshiped on Sunday, you could feel the difference in the atmosphere as our hearts have clearly joined together more for the Purposes of God.---- There were 50 ladies who attended! Praise the Lord. There were many, many breakthroughs for which we give God all the Glory! There is testimony after testimony pouring forth and I know that I have heard a very small fraction of them! Amen. It was such a blessed time as women from the "two (former) churches" came together to break bread - break through the darkness and break into the Presence of God. There were powerful times of healing, restoration and breakthrough. The faithfulness of our God can never be measured--He sure is Good in ALL that He does.
