I am amazed at how constant He is in my life--never changing. He blesses my heart to know that even when I am so tired and weak, He becomes my strength. When I put Him on the back-burner yet again in my life, that He is still there waiting for me to put Him back where He belongs. Afterall it was my choice to put Him there in the first place.
I think so many times (at least from my own experience) we get caught up in everyday life, when our "everyday life" should consist of Him consistently. :) We need to make sure we are putting in our time to get to know Him. He wants to see how much we love Him by how much time we spend WITH Him. He needs to be number one, those dishes in the sink can wait an hour, the laundry doesn't have to be started first, and the TV show that comes on at 9 doesn't need to dictate how I spend my time. I got stuck in this mess, now I am trying to get out of it. This life I am learning takes a lot of DISCIPLINE. Which is definately a good thing, but a hard one at that.
He doesn't just want an hour a day either, our lives should consist of and be focused on Him throughout the day. He should be constantly on our hearts, He doesn't just want a simple hour, He wants our lives. Being the gentleman He is though, He will not push us to give more than we are willing. He wants to see how much WE love Him. Which takes discipline, something of which I have a hard time obtaining.
I want God to be number one in my life. I want to hunger after Him more than anything in this world. I want to be a strong Christian that is not hypocritical. I want to be flowing in the fruits of the Spirit constantly. I want conviction and brokeness in my life. I want to be consumed with getting to know my Heavenly Father more and more everyday. I want to be His servant/vessel that will be used to bring Him glory. I want to fulfill my purpose in this life. I want to go higher and deeper in Him. I want to radiate His beauty, joy and peace. I want to be pleasing to Him. Everything I want can happen and I believe will happen if I can discipline my life and stay in His Word. That is what my life needs to be based on--Him, not how much cleaning I can/need to do, not how much time I can spend doing things that can wait a little longer. He needs to be my all in all, my everything, my life.

"We need to rely on the resurrection life of Jesus on a much deeper level than we do now. We should get in the habit of continually seeking His counsel on everything, instead of making our own commonsense decisions and then asking Him to bless them. He cannot bless them; it is not in His realm to do so, and those decisons are severed from reality. If we do something simply out of a sense of duty on the throne of our life, instead of enthroning the resurrection life of Jesus. We are not told to 'walk in the light' of our conscience or in the light of a sense of duty, but to 'walk in the light as He is in the light....' (1 John 1:7). When we do something out of a sense of duty, it is easy to explain the reasons for our actions to others. But when we do something out of obedience to the Lord, there can be no other explanation--just obedience. That is why a saint can be so easily ridiculed and misunderstood." ---Oswald Chambers This is not a time to be play...

Letting go, but letting God.

It is funny how you think you might have things down pat, you even talk to a friend and say how you don't understand how people don't get it. How simple it seems to make a CHOICE, but it's not that way when you are the one having to make that choice. This is what I don't get:(scattered thoughts so beware) I guess I just labeled myself. Things seem simple when looking at other people's lives. Basically judging them and telling myself how not capable they are. I repent for ever saying things like this Lord. Show me how to get this LOG out of my eye before I worry about that speck in anothers eye. All I need to be concerned about is me, but oh how hard this is, when you see things and hear things. I need a change of heart I suppose. I need to "let go and let God" what a simple saying, but oh how hard it is to actually follow through. I like how I thought I gave it to Him. Thought I was on the path to recovery. Apparently not. As a "sold out...

Consuming Fire

There must be more than this Oh breath of God come breathe within There must be more than this Spirit of God we wait for you Fill us anew we pray Fill us anew we pray Consuming fire fan into flame A passion for your name Spirit of God fall in this place Lord have your way Lord have your way with us Come like a rushing wind Clothe us with power from on high Now set the captives free Leave us abandoned to your praise Lord let your glory fall Lord let your glory fall Stir it up in our hearts Lord Stir it up in our hearts Lord A passion for your name *words written by Tim Hughes
