Reason For Living
By Justin McRoberts
Learning to Need You
see related
Is it worth it? Days go by. And He's here and He's there. He's everywhere. But i stumble. I fall. I lose sight of it all. But He lets me swing on the chains of life! Why? So that i will learn what are the chains and that i might learn what are the posts. What shifts in this life and what never changes. What can nothing move. I LOVE to swing! And He knows that! Sometimes in this life i get a bit nauseous, but other than that, life is a joy! LEARNING TO KNOW HIM is joy! Waiting on HIM is joy! Learning to NEED Him is joy! Rediscovering HOPE is joy. Living alone to know the company of HIS LOVE is joy! These are difficult lessons but well worth it all. And at the core of it all is WHO HE IS! The joy of knowing Him is worth living for. Sometimes the chains (the shifting sand of life) leads us to low times when we hate our distance from Him, then other times the chains lead us to higher times where we take joy in knowing the firmness of His hold on our life! Is it worth it? Yeah. This is the joy of life, friend.

Rattle and Hum

All I Want Is You

Desire. Hope. Want. Pursuit. All i want is You. Say. Give. Riches. River. Dryness. All i want is You. Promises. Promises. The rainbow in the sky is the dim glory of a beautiful and radiant promise. When i have thoroughly chased after the wind. When i've caught all that it has to give me including random newpapers, paper bags used to conceal alcohol, receipts of debt, and love notes long past; i decide that the wind can have those things. I hate living to please myself. I hate living to find what i can in the wind. I long instead. . . to give myself to the Wind! That i might find my meaning being moved wherever the Wind pleases. That i might delight in the flight of One far more glorious than i. May His broken heart break mine, and His desperation recreate afresh in me. May His joys become my joys as all of me is cast to the wind with all that has no remaining value. To embrace what remains valuable is to receive true value. Desire. Hope. Pursuit. One thing have i desired. One thing remains. One thing. Please help me not to lose sight of that.

The fear of what is deep within comes forth
As it veils itself behind a mask
What danger and death will this person bring
If given reign over my tasks?

I fear for i know the death it brings
But i love the allure of its song
From deep in the darkest corner it sings
And i cover my ears, yet sing along

As this terribly beautiful voice draws nigh
I know that destruction will soon reign
But i gladly invite this stranger of the night
For i long for love even if feigned

But before the strager can wrap her arms
Around my fragile neck
A Light so brilliant and so pure
Tackles the darkness surrounding me

Somethings wrong but that's only right
For i've known all along that this darkness is of the night
Cheering for the Light, i see a new day begin
We'll soon begin the fight, but we'll know purity within

Sometimes we feel like a dandilion. People don't like us, 'cause we're a weed. We hope that we're pretty, but people don't even know how to spell our name. But God cared enough to make us and He cares enough to cloth us and He cares enough to keep us. So let's cling to that k? I think i will. ;o)

The Counselor: Straight Talk About the Holy Spirit from a 20th Century Prophet
By A. W. Tozer
see related
So it's like this: AAaaguuuuunneeficllllabum. . . . And then what? Well, it's just a matter of decision. It's interesting how God made the world with time. And the limits of time include the limitation on commitment. We cannot commit to more than _______. We only have so much time. This therefore leads us to decisions! We must decide which we will commit to and which we won't commit to. How do we make these decisions? Well, i got the book, The Counselor, in the mail! The Holy Spirit is going to have to be my key guide in this whoel issue. But i guess there's got to be some core things about who a person is and basically who God has made a person to be that ties in with what a person should do! What is your passion? What is the passion of each commitment. I don't know maybe not. I'm gonna shut up now. The point is i'm frustrated with not knowing which commitments to choose! So yeah. . . Lord, please guide me and grant me sanity in the mean time. Thank you!
