What Is Your Will In Christ?

 This is about my love for my God and the people of His heart's desire (whom I love also in Christ's heart) and my brokeness over the love relationship that I know could be theirs if only their perspective were the same as His... Love is a word that's used carelessly by some at times in our day. It's meaning on occasion even being perverted to be used as a substitution for the word lust. But love in it's true meaning is a very powerful thing when shared between two people. Real love between a man and a woman can become a sacred thing as each honors their commitment to the other not only in deed, but in spirit also in a marriage relationship. It becomes the binding tie that leads each to seek the affections of the other and also to seek to meet the needs of the other selflessly. As each moves to fulfill the needs and desires of the other, it becomes a rewarding cycle of offering and receiving between them that perpetuates itself to grow constant...

Lord, the eyes of my heart are consumed by the beauty of your character. Your matchless grace, your kindness Lord and your unfathomable love are the among the many life giving treasures I seek in your presence. Your peace, your purity and honesty renew me. Your goodness, your wise and just ways are the life path I seek to follow with passion. Lord, your love alone sustains me for you stand alone as the source of my provision. In truth, I am wholly dependent on you for all things as an infant is dependent on its mother. Your compassion to the weak, the lonely, the forsaken and unworthy is the example of loving tenderness my heart craves to follow. For the indescribable glory and beauty of your heart is resoundingly proclaimed in the humility of your great and immeasurable majesty and power as the God to reach out to love the unlovable. Oh Lord God, there is no justice in the words of men to describe you! You are indeed the beginning and the end of all things holy and good. You...

Being made eternal ... we know that we struggle together for but one day in all time to bear the molding of His hand ... only to wake on the dawn of the next realizing the fruit of His promise ... being joyfully reunited and resting forever in the loving perfection of His grace and mercy ... It's only for a moment ... the closest thing I can relate it to is a fleeting second or maybe the flicker of a flame on a burning candle - these years we live here on this earth compared to the eternal life we were created for. Death has no place in our lives as children of the living God. We were created as eternal beings to forever live out the reward of our free choice. At the moment we call death in this life, we merely come to slumber for a moment in His grace while we wait for the rest of our brothers and sisters to assemble before His throne - resting peacefully with the secured promise of awakening at the moment He chose in advance, and known only to Him, to begin the real life that ...

Lord, You are the hand that carved out the oceans and canyons and piled high the pinnacles of the mountains. You are the creator and the life force of everything that lives. From the simple complexity of the uncountable leaves of everything that rises from the earth to the incredible marvel of all living flesh, you are the artist and creator who imagined it all. Your genius is indescribable and good beyond measure. You are the majestic, awesome and mysterious wonder of the night sky. The marvels of your character are as without limit as the canvas of the heavens you created. Your will alone is the power that holds the heavenly bodies in place and gives permission for stars to fall my omnipotent Father. They dance at your whim and twinkle with delight in your presence. Your spirit is the cool rushing mountain stream that gives life and refreshment to the face of the earth cascading over the high places and thundering as it falls. It washes away the debris of this life and...
