• From the Heart..

  I'm believing in healing this morning... well every morning, every day, but I just happen to need it today! Been feeling the Lord tugging on my heart this week. As a public confession, I apologize Lord that I haven't sharing your mercy and love, forgive me. Jesus is waiting, only if you are ready.
  I was watching  The Way of the Master on Sunday, (with Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort) since I couldn't be in church. A woman was talking about how for 20 years her and her husband were in a "group" for 20 years.  They owned a clothing shop in town. When they finally got away from this "group" they started going to a Christian church in the town.  There were so many faces they recognized from the shop. Not ONCE in 20 years did anyone share Jesus with them.  NOT ONCE in 20 years.  I was convicted immediately. Some people told them they thought they were happy in this "group" and didn't know how to share with the love of Jesus with them. How many times do we sit idly by, as we watch other lives go down the drain, or in more convicting terms, go to Hell. Sometimes sharing the truth isn't enough. Repetition is the key. Those of you who are now Believers, did you respond the first time someone shared Jesus with you? I didn't. Not even the second or the third time. As a matter of fact it took me til the age of 28 to realize that Jesus really was there. I had gone to church practically my whole life. But I thought I was ok, as long as I put up the front, pretending my life was ok. God shook me one night. We had been invited to see Heaven's Gates, Hell's Flames. God shook me to the bone, and I've never looked back... Living it and sharing it over and over and over, no matter how many times, no matter how tired we are, that's whats gonna bring them to Jesus. Sometimes we will HAVE to talk until we're blue in the face, and yes, we WILL get frustrated, but we are to NEVER GIVE UP! Plant the seed. And keep planting, keep plowing, and do it again... it will eventually grow. Really.
  
  LIFE OF PRAISE - Casting Crowns

  I will love You, Lord always
  Not just for the things You've done for me
  And I will praise You all my days
  Not just for the change You've made in me
  I'll praise you for You are holy, Lord
  And I'll lift my hands, but You are worthy of so much more

  Chorus:
  For You are awesome, God of the Nations,
  Lion of Judah, Rock of the Ages, Alpha, Omega
  You're worthy of all praise
  More that these hands I'll raise
  I'll live a life of praise

  I will serve You Lord, always for You are my strength
  When I am weak
  I will never be afraid for You are my rock and You protect me
  But I'll praise You for You are holy, Lord
  And I'll lift my hands, but You are worthy of so much more

  
  

  HOW CAN I KEEP ROM SINGING - Chris Tomlin

  There is an endless song
  Echoes in my soul
  I hear the music ring

  And though the storms may come
  I am holding on
  To the rock I cling

  How can I keep from singing Your praise
  How can I ever say enough
  How amazing is Your love
  How can I keep from shouting Your name
  I know I am loved by the King
  And it makes my heart want to sing

  I will lift my eyes
  In the darkest night
  For I know my Savior lives

  And I will walk with You
  Knowing You'll see me through
  And sing the songs You give

  I can sing in the troubled times
  Sing when I win
  I can sing when I lose my step
  And fall down again
  I can sing 'cause You pick me up
  Sing 'cause You're there
  I can sing 'cause You hear me, Lord
  When I call to You in prayer
  I can sing with my last breath
  Sing for I know
  That I'll sing with the angels
  And the saints around the throne
