Beautiful.

Sometimes I really think that we don't truly grasp how beautiful our Savior really is.. this song touches my heart every time I hear it.

Beautiful by Kari Jobe
Here, before Your altar,
I am letting go of all I've held
of every motive, every burden,
everything that's of myself.
and I just wanna wait on You my God
I just wanna dwell on who You are.

beautiful, beautiful oh I am lost for more to say
beautiful, beautiful oh Lord, You're beautiful to me

oh beautiful

here in Your presence,
I am not afraid of brokenness
to wash Your feet with humble tears
oh I would be poured out till nothing's left.
and I just wanna wait on You my God
I just wanna dwell on who You are, who You are

Beautiful, beautiful oh I am lost for more to say
beautiful, beautiful oh Lord, You're beautiful to me

oh Lord You're beautiful, beautiful beautiful
holy holy holy You are You are
holy holy holy You are You are
holy holy holy You are You are
holy holy holy You are You are

beautiful, beautiful oh I am lost for more to say
beautiful, beautiful oh Lord, You're beautiful to me

and I just wanna wait on You my God
I just wanna dwell on who You are.

I Give Myself Away

There's a song by William McDowell called "I Give Myself Away." It's such a beautiful song-- and it is my heart's cry to the Lord in this time in my life. God I want you to use me. I give you my life. I'd give it over and over again for you to just use me. Lord, let my life honor and please You. Lord, my heart's cry is to do Your will. For my life is NOT my own, to You I belong. You created every part of me-- my inmost being. You are my passion, Your word is my passion; Your will for me is what I long for each and every day. Lord, help me to reach my generation, for they are hurting. Help me to show Your love, Your glory, Your compassion, Your grace, Your mercy. God, I know that You're about to do amazing things this year. I feel a wave coming; a wave of renewed passion. Let us be willing and ready, Lordl. Let your people be willing to give themselves to You fully. Let us put all our dreams and plans into Your hands. Lord, I pray that not our will but Yours be done in our lives. I pray that you touch Your children.. for we truly ARE Your sons and daughters. I pray that we may receive a boldness like never before. I pray that we have a renewed passion for doing Your will. I pray that You break us, Lord. Let us be on fire for You. Let us hunger and thirst for more of You. Allow us to be so full of You.. that we're overflowing and be witnesses to others. Lord, help us to just raise our hands and say... "I give myself away"

I Give Myself Away

Chorus:
I give myself away
I give myself away
So You can use me
I give myself away
I give myself away
So You can use me

Verse 1:
Here I am
Here I stand
Lord, my life is in your hands
Lord, I’m longing to see
Your desires revealed in me
I give myself away

Verse 2:
Take my heart
Take my life
As a living sacrifice
All my dreams all my plans
Lord I place them in your hands

Bridge:
My life is not my own
To you I belong
I give myself, I give myself to you

The Ultimate Bowl

Tonight's a big night. Millions of people are cheering for their favorite football team. There are people gathered at friends and families' houses; there's people even watching it at their churches. Crowds are cheering, yelling, screaming for their favorite team to win.. It's intense. The atmosphere is just so thick that the crowds are just wild! For one night in the year, practically the entire world is watching this big-time event...

Many years ago, there was a crowd just like this. However, it was different. They mocked him. The atmosphere was thick with mockery and judgment. He carried a cross.. a crown of thorns put on his head. They nailed him to that tree and pierced a sword in his side..

"Above his head they put the charge against him, which read: 'This is Jesus, the king of the Jews.'" -Matt 27:37

The world rejected him. Heaven and hell watched closely. The demons cheered, the angels stood silently, watching. The king had died. Hell was happy, for they had won. Heaven stood still, waiting.
Just as in the last moments of the Super Bowl, people will be waiting; the world silent. Who will win? I do not know who will win the Super Bowl this year. But one thing I DO know, is that three days after his death so long ago, Jesus Christ the King of Kings rose. Hell was stunned. The angels rejoiced. How much more should we celebrate that our Lord and Savior has conquered Death, Hell and the Grave?? Jesus is the winner of all... and I believe that all of Heaven rejoiced when he rose from the grave.. I think that we should rejoice even more than when our favorite team wins the Super Bowl! Our king is ALIVE! And he lives in each and every one of us. And he has won the Ultimate Bowl!* :)

God Bless.
