Giving language to it all...»

"God never calls us to sacrifice as an end in itself, but only through sacrifice on the way to great joy. On the other side of the seeming loss and denial is always reward and pleasure so deep and so intense that it’s almost impossible to call what you gave up a sacrifice at all."

Joshua Harris (Not Even a Hint)

Lord please help me as I lay hold of Your gift of grace given me in this moment of weakness and use it to run hard into the narrow road of diligence and follow through, with my work. I pray In Jesus’ name, Amen.

So Encouraging

I Love You - By Misty Edwards

When all that you can see inside is your own weakness,

I see the end from the beginning - I know where this is going

and you’ve barely just begun.

But, you see, so few will ever fight the good fight…

at least you fight, even when you feel you’re losing.

So few will ever enter the battle…

but you refuse to quit.

This is all I ask.

So few will ever look back at Me and say “I really want to love You”

But you say it every day. and you cry.

and you say “I’m so sinful and full of compromise”

I see your confession: It’s real. I still believe the vows that you make and break and make and break.

I knew what I was getting into when I beckoned you, and I still beckon you today.

I am not surprised by your struggle. Im not disgusted by your discovery

youre the one that is surprised. In your pride, you thought you were better than that.

I’ve clothed you in the blood of My Son. It’s enough. Why are you trying to get in a room you’re already in?

It’s more than just mercy- youre not a project to make Me look good.

Theres more than only mercy working here- I dont just feel sorry for you..

I want you.

I love you.

I like you.

Youre the apple of My eye..the center of My world..that’s more than “just pity”.
