Be exalted in our praise.

As your presence fills this place, be exalted in our praise, as we worship, I believe you are near...
Do we still stand in awe of him and worship because of who he is, and what he has done in our lives? Our life was created for so much more than to just exist...we were called to live to worship our creator, and he should always be exalted not only with our worship but with our lives. Our life should be a love song directly to him. We spend extensive amounts of time worrying about what someone else in our life will think about us, when really... honestly all that matters is what he thinks and if he approves of the way we live the life he has given us. Our hearts should always be set on him through everything we encounter. I am amazed at his great love.. & how we are or can be changed from glory to glory. He is always near..even when we feel distant.. he is always near, and his love never changes. He just wants us to worship him and I have found that aspect of life can fill you with amazing love and peace for your life and help you encourage others to never give up, no matter what the trial. God is our redeemer and the lover of our soul. Before we were ever lovable he loved us, before we were admirable he admired us,when we were hopeless..he gave us hope and still today... he loves us even when we show him very little love sometimes when our lives get soooo busy. Exalt him in your praise, your life, everything... his blessings and love will always be enough.

YOU are Beautiful.

Until you and I are one. Are we one with God or are we two different people altogether? Im not going to sugarcoat it and say that I have had a wonderful week and that everything has went exactly how I wanted it to happen... because this week it just hasn't. I have been trying to obey his voice and do what he has wanted me to do this week, and one of those tasks was one that I, myself, was not excited about doing, and when I did do it, after the fact, after last night, I feel a peace about continuing in what I have been doing and just praying for a certain family individual... Because I now see that it is not good for us to be together right now... complete opposite people. I can tell you however; that God has a plan in and through everything, and his love never fails no matter how manipulated or hurt we may be, he will always be there, and he always places people in my life when I need them... exactly when I need them. I need you like the rain, I long for your love so much, I want it, your pure touch, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL...BEAUTIFUL....SO BEAUTIFUL. God sees our hearts and who we are, inside and out. Every aspect. I need you to be here, come to me, I can feel you near, I love you, you are my hope, and you love me as your own. You are beautiful...beautiful... so beautiful. He wants us to know that we truly are his own and that we are beautiful and made in his very own image. I have been constantly having to remind myself of this through these challenges this week. & remind myself that he has a WONDERFUL plan for my life and is guiding my steps. He is always there when I need him and even when we feel like we don't need him he is always there. We have to remind ourselves of who we are in him constantly, because truly this world and even your "family" can get you very down on yourself when you know for a fact you did nothing wrong. I'm soooo blessed to have the wonderful people he has given me to be here for me and live their life to the fullest and encourage me too. Gods mercy and love are never-ending. & he has never given up on you? Not one time. I believe he is everything I need and everything I will ever need to live my life and right now, well this past year or two, I have felt closer to him than ever. & its the greatest feeling ever. I would never go back to the occasional prayer or reading of my bible. There is sooo much more liberty and freedom when you seek the one who sees you as beautiful and in his image. Oh happy day, you wash my sin away, I'll never be the same. Forever I am changed. Embrace his love and the peace he has for you today, even in life's struggles, in the bad and the good times. He is a never-ending, ever-present, never failing God who loves and cares for every aspect of your life, even the little things up to the big things. Oh what a glorious day!! He has BIG plans, during our BIG circumstances and issues. He still knows we are beautiful.

Are we still the same?

Wont relent until you have it all, my heart is yours. Many waters can not quench this thrist. Wont relent until you have it all, My heart is yours.

Well, I have been thinking this week... Have we really given it ALL. We know that Jesus did give it ALL. He needs to be set as a seal upon our hearts for there is love that is as strong as death, jealousy demanding, as the grave. He gave his all so we could be here and live with ALL we have for him. This world can ultimately get to the point where we are extremely busy and dont have time to do the things he would want us to do. I dont know about any of you but I know that sometimes, with school, church, and my grandpa being sick sometimes I find myself doing extensive things in my own life that I do not get what I really needed in that day... and thats my quiet time.. alone... with my Father to just talk to him... Because you really can just talk to him.. tell him how your day is going and what is on your heart... Thats truly what he desires from all of us. He wants a relationship with every single one of us who have accepted him... not just to be one of those casual friends that we all have that we talk to about once a week. He wants to be the best friend that you call, text, or email every day and multiple times. He doesnt care if we have fun with our friends... he just wants to be with us, not backed in a corner of your heart that only shows up on Sunday and Wednesdays. He gave his best and sometimes I look around and feel like all of us.. me included.. do not show him enough.. or give enough.. He desires for us to take him everywhere with us and be inside of us.. but just not on the inside but to appeal to the outside of us as well, to show others. He loves us so much and has a wonderful plan for every single one of you. There should be nothing that we want me, and we should not relent until he truly and honestly has it ALL.
