Love for Jesus

What if you were so in love with Jesus that all the petty cares of this world, all the selfish ambition of the hearts of men, all the pride that we so easily take upon our backs, all of which can serve to choke depress and disturb us..

All of these things fade into the background...

Lost in wonder and lost in love, lost in praise forevermore.

For what He has done for us.

"Consider the lilies: they do not weave or spin, yet your heavenly Father clothes them."

As long as the sun shines, the skies are blue, there is green grass upon this earth, the birds sing praises to God our Father, who created all of it.

yet I will rejoice in the LORD

Habbakuk Chapter 3

17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,

18 yet I will rejoice in the LORD,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.

19 The Sovereign LORD is my strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to go on the heights.
For the director of music. On my stringed instruments.

Till I see YOu

The greatest love that anyone could ever know
That overcame the cross and grave to find my soul
And till I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in You

With all I am I'll live to see Your kingdom come
And in my heart I pray You'd let Your will be done
And till I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in You

I will live to love You
I will live to bring You praise
I will live a child in awe of You

You are a voice that called the universe to be
You are the whisper in my heart that speaks to me
And till I see You face to face and grace amazing takes me home
I'll trust in you

You alone are God of all
You alone are worthy Lord
And with all I am my soul will bless Your name

I feel ashamed of the amount of anger I read over my blog... I've got some stick from circumstances, but that's not reason to get so angry...

Charlie Brown 07

When I read my blog of '06, it seems that I'm reading the blog of a total stranger. I can't recognise what I'm writing. But what I write sometimes serves to remind me of what God has blessed me with, and how much I have to be grateful for.

I realise something from my Charlie Brown post. The reason why Charlie Brown never tells the girl with red pigtails is not cos he's a coward, it's cos he KNOWS he has no chance, and therefore is relegated to longing. BUT he's wise because he doesn't hurt himself by banging his head against the wall and destroying the outlandish hope that something may happen.

Edinburgh

It was exactly one year ago that I received the offer from Edinburgh, the confirmation of a miracle that God was working in my life, and which gave me the faith that my God is real, my God is powerful, and my God LOVES me.

How deep the Father's love for us

How vast beyond all measure

That He should give His only Son

To make a wretch His treasure

I will nost boast in anything

No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answerBut this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom!
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want...
He maketh me lie down on green pastures...




And I am so grateful for all that He has done this past year,

from getting me into Edinburgh

and letting me stay in Edinburgh

settling the whole NS thing

bringing me through an exam

a trip to London and Cambridge

A new year I never thought I would see

a rejection

a clinical options project

a trip to Ireland and Wales.

O God, I do not know what the future holds: but I do know one thing--you are never far away from me. Forgive me my sins, and cleanse me from unrighteousness. In Jesus' name.

This is amazing. I just realised that this is the answer to my prayer to be more grateful to God.
