My God

My God grants peace, an overwhelming peace that I couldn't have even imagined. He has stilled my heart to rest assured in him. My God freely gives his grace and love abundantly. There is an infinite list that my words cannot even do you justice but this is just what is on my heart, Oh Great God!

"Only Jesus can be Jesus." I will never reach perfection, never love people enough, never devote my life enough, never truly understand and see others the way he did. I will never be as selfless as He, never have as much grace and mercy.... But I will try and strive for all of my days. I will seek Christ with all of my heart, no matter the cost. I will follow after Jesus no matter how much I stumble. Yes, I will stumble but I will trust in my God to pick me up and guide me to wherever he may lead me next.

When we ask Jesus to be the Lord of our lives, he makes us into a new creation. He completely rocks our world! Flips it upside down and messes every stinkin thing up. Everything we thought was important before now seems so small. Everything we thought was cool proves pointless. He makes us want to be different, He sets us apart. When he comes and fills us up with his Holy Spirit, it does something to us to where we're just set on fire for Him and we can barely contain it. When we diligently seek him with our entire hearts, we will find Him. That's a promise and here it is, "... you will call upon me and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." -Jeremiah 29:12-13

God this is my prayer for my friends right now. You know who they are, who is on my heart, and only you know their hearts. Precious Father, I ask that you would send your Holy Spirit and light their hearts on fire to burn for you and you alone. I ask that they would long to seek you and that they would truly find you and that they would be able to experience this absolutely incredible relationship that you and I have.

You are my Father, my God. You are amazing and beyond all description. Your love is astounding. You never leave my side, never have and never will. You are faithful, my God you are. I feel like I am bursting at the seems with joy just because I long to worship you with my life. God even though I my life isn't going how I have planned, I can still have this incredible joy because you have filled me with it. My plans are nothing compared to what you have in store, it's so much bigger... so much better than I could ever imagine. Only you hold my future in your hands. My God, I thank you and I praise you. My God, I know that I will mess up millions of times each day and for that I am sorry but I praise you for your forgiveness and mercy. My God, I love you and I thank you for loving me.
