1 life colliding into an intimate relationship with our Creator

Love that sticks.

21dayconversation — Wed, 25 Jan 2012 04:18:09 +0000

Father,

Your love is deeper than any ocean.

It stretches past my mistakes and wraps itself around me.

I don’t have to fit a certain image, because You take me as I am.

Your love notices me, even though I have nothing to offer.

Your love sticks, no matter how many times I give up.

Your love is different, in a good way.

a good psalm.

Psalm 18:30

“God’s way is perfect. All the Lord’s promises prove true..”

Father,

Mine and your ways are complete polar opposites.

Your way is simply perfect.

Better than what I want, even better than what I’ll ever need.

Help me wrap my mind around that.

Give me understanding.

interesting..

“Hebrews 11:5 affirms in the strongest possible terms, “I will never leave you or forsake you.” The word ‘leave’ in Greek is preceded by three negatives and would read something like this, “I will never, no, not ever leave you…” -Andree Sue

Slow me down.

Father,

It seems like anytime I break away to be with You,

I rush through it.

Marking off check points,

Racing to the finish line.

Slow me down.

Steady my feet.

Declare.

Father,
I refuse to be defined by my past mistakes and failures.
I will not be defined by anyone, not even myself.
I am a Your child.
Define me.

About a week ago I went to Walmart.

I had to go get fabric cut for my mom and..well, something awesome happened. I talked to an employee. I started off with small talk.. you know, holiday stuff, if she’s excited, what she’s doing… etc.

and then we got on the subject of God.

I don’t know how it happened but it was really cool. She was a Christian and she shared some cool stuff with me. She told me how God works in crazy ways and that he can use any thing.. no matter how big or small to show someone that he loves them. and..well, it was just refreshing talking to a complete stranger about God.

so yeah.

just thought i’d share!!!!

Cry out.

During troubled times,

I look to You.

You are the only one who can do something.

Change something.

You’ve got this.

“Cry out for insight,
and ask for understanding.” – Proverbs 2:3

the LORD will provide.

Father,

In You, I do not need a thing.

I will not stress about what tomorrow holds, because it’s all in Your loving hands.

My provider.

Psalm 139

You have searched me, LORD,
and you know me.
² You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
³ You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
⁴ Before a word is on my tongue
you, LORD, know it completely.
⁵ You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.

⁷ Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
⁸ If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
⁹ If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
¹⁰ even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
¹¹ If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
¹² even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.

¹³ For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
¹⁶ Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
¹⁷ How precious to me are your thoughts, God!
How vast is the sum of them!
¹⁸ Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.

John 13:10-17

” Jesus said, “If you’ve had a bath in the morning, you only need your feet washed now and you’re clean from head to toe. My concern, you understand, is holiness, not hygiene. So now you’re clean. But not every one of you.” (He knew who was betraying him. That’s why he said, “Not every one of you.”) After he had finished washing their feet, he took his robe, put it back on, and went back to his place at the table.

Then he said, “Do you understand what I have done to you? You address me as ‘Teacher’ and ‘Master,’ and rightly so. That is what I am. So if I, the Master and Teacher, washed your feet, you must now wash each other’s feet. I’ve laid down a pattern for you. What I’ve done, you do. I’m only pointing out the obvious. A servant is not ranked above his master; an employee doesn’t give orders to the employer. If you understand what I’m telling you, act like it—and live a blessed life.”

Matthew 20:28

”Whoever wants to be great must become a servant. Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave. That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to serve, not be served—and then to give away his life in exchange for the many who are held hostage.”

Jesus is so absolutely awesome.
