Ruminations of a Beloved

“The outpouring of the Spirit always brings an increased awareness of our sinfulness. Some of the greatest hymns of confession and contrition have been written during such seasons. But the revelation of our sin and unworthiness is only half of the needed equation. Most revivals don’t get past this one point, and therefore cannot sustain a move of God until it becomes a lifestyle. It’s difficult to build something substantial on a negative. When this is realized, our identity changes and our faith embraces the purpose of our salvation. At some point we must go beyond being simply “sinners saved by grace”. As we learn to live out of our position in Christ we will bring forth the greatest exploits of all time. What one generation could accomplish from this one revelation is far beyond comprehension.”
Bill Johnson (via soomin)

I am the fruit of His good labor. Therefore, I am good. Very good.

Restlessness

What does it really mean to sit at His feet? What does it look like to be captivated by the beauty of His gaze? What does it mean/look like to drink deep from His cup? I feel like I don’t know at all….like I have NO idea what that really means…or what it looks like.

Jesus! I need to know! Help me to understand, to experience this in fresh, deeper way because I’m getting restless down here. 

My only Hope

Psalm 4: 7-8

“You have filled my heart with greater joy than when their grain and new wine abound.
I will lie down and slepe in peace, for You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety.”

Psalm 5: 11-12

“But let all who take refuge in You be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread Your protection over them, that those who love Your name may rejoice in You.
For surely, O LORD, You bless the righteous; You surround them with Your favor as with a shield.”

You are my Hope, my Song, my Light, my Salvation.

Is it just me, or is there something wrong with this picture (from an article saying that Christina Aguilera and her husband are splitting up):

And though Aguilera and Bratman - who met in 2002 (he was a producer on one of her albums) and wed in 2005 - have not yet decided whether to divorce, the source reveals, “they are now living apart, and they will see how that goes.”

What went wrong?

“They were very much in love,” explains the insider. “But over the last six months, it became clear they were more like friends than husband and wife.”The source adds that Aguilera even “proposed their August trip to Italy to rekindle their relationship, but it didn’t help.”

I don’t know about you, but shouldn’t your husband/wife be your best friend as well as being your husband/wife? Hmmm…

Father, You are sooooooo good to me ♡

Te necesitas, Abba

There is a desperation in my being…only You can satisfy, Abba.

“I need You More” - Bruce Haynes, and Lyndell Cooley

I need You more than yesterday
I need You more than words can say
I need You more than ever before
I need You Lord, I need You Lord

More than the air I breathe
More than the song I sing
More than the next heartbeat
More than anything
And Lord as time goes, I’ll be by Your side
‘Cause I never want to go back to my old life

RIght here in Your presence is where I belong
This old broken heart has finally found a home
I’ll never be alone 

Prayer

Break my heart for what breaks Yours…

I was born inside of a rainbow, I grew up on mercy and grace
Don’t forget His promises

I was born inside of a rainbow, I grew up on mercy and grace
