Your Glory

My life is Yours

My hope is in You only

My heart You hold

'Cause You made this sinner holy

Your glory is so beautiful

I fall onto my knees in awe

And the heartbeat of my life

Is to worship in Your light

Your glory is so beautiful.

Here's My Hallelujah

I know that Wednesday is usually reserved for quotes but this Wednesday I want to share a beautiful song from an unknown artist with you. Listen to it here!

"My Savior, I'm broken down and speechless
And all that's left is a simple melody.
But I offer it, so hear my words, O Jesus

From the depths of my soul, I'm crying out

So here's my hallelujah
So here's my hallelujah
I'm gonna sing it to You
So here's my hallelujah

There are no words that could ever describe Your greatness
There are no songs that could ever be enough
And though I'm not perfect, I'm giving You my worship
From the depths of my soul, I'm crying out

I'm pouring out my heart
My soul is singing out hallelujah
God, You are so good I can't keep from singing
Hallelujah

So here's my hallelujah
So here's my hallelujah
I can't keep from singing
My hallelujah
"

Impact

Instead of limiting it to one quote this week I thought I would share a few quotes/verses/lyrics that have greatly affected my life in the past few months. Enjoy!

"The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective"
- James 5:16

"Never apologize for being sensitive or emotional. Let this be a sign that you've got a big heart and aren't afraid to let others see it."
- Brigitte Nicole

"God's grace is not an excuse to sin, but rather a reason to love and serve Him more fully."
- Unknown

"Bad days make good ones better."
- Unknown

"You could run till you can't find hope, sail till you can't see land. But there is no place you could go. You could fall till you're out of hope, chase things that never last. You could never run to far. Love will find you where you are."
- Love Will Find You by The Museum

"Consume me, Lord. Every single thought. Consume me, Lord. 'Cause You are all I've got. There's nothing here that I want more than to be consumed by You."
- Consume Me by Sixteen Cities

Praise You in this Storm

We had the highest of highs, walking on sunshine, when all of a sudden the clouds moved in. The mood changed from sunny yellow to sullen grey in seconds. There are moments that you never expect in life and this was one of them. The words of one of my favourite worship songs came to mind:

"And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm"

(Praise You in this Storm, Casting Crowns)

Sometimes we get caught up in what is going on that we forget that God knows why these things are going on. Sometimes we need to take a step forward into His open arms so that we can be comforted in the confusion. Sometimes we aren't going to know the answers and we need to be willing to trust Him anyways.

When answers are scarce that's when faith comes into play. We need to take the focus off ourselves and our role in our story and look at God's role in our story because, in the end, it's not really our story at all... it's His. 

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go”  (Joshua 1:9, NIV).  

"For no one is cast off by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone" (Lamentations 3:31-33, NIV). 

    

I have way too much time on my hands!

Don't Have Love

You can have money and cool friends, a ring on your left hand. But it's never going to be enough if you don't have Love. You can have a fast car, a mansion and everyone's attention But it's never going to be enough if you don't have Love.

Don't Have Love
