Walking Forward

The below quote from Mother Theresa is hard for anyone to walk in until they know the secret that Jesus had while walking on earth.

1 Peter 2:23 "When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly." 

Jesus trusts Our Father that He judges righteously to those that persecuted Jesus. God knows better than we do and Jesus trusts our Abba! And so we that, Holy Spirit, fill us up with Yourself and reveal the deep revelations that God the Father is absolutely Right in His judgments! What I think what someone deserves does not involve me because I am sin-ridden. Jesus, You know best. I trust in You.

"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may just never be enough; Give the world the best you have anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it's all between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway."

I can't get over this verse

"Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by your name, O LORD, God of hosts." Jeremiah 15:16

lukewarm

The essence of lukewarmness is the statement, "I need nothing." The lukewarm are spiritually self-satisfied. To find out whether you are among that number, don't look into your head to see if you think that you are needy; rather, look at your prayer life. It doesn't matter what we think in our head, the test of whether we are in bondage to spiritual self-satisfaction is how earnest and frequent and extended our prayers for change are.
Do you seek the Lord earnestly and often in secret for deeper knowledge of Christ, for greater earnestness in prayer, for more boldness in witness, for sweeter joy in the Holy Spirit, for deeper sorrow for sin, for warmer compassion for the lost, for more divine power to love? Or is the coolness and perfunctoriness of your prayer life Exhibit A that you are spiritually self-satisfied and lukewarm?

Your Presence is Light to me

I need You more
More than yesterday
I need You Lord
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 by
I'll be by Your side
Cause I never want to go back to my old life

I need You more...

We give you the Highest Praise!
We give you the Highest Praise!
We give you the Highest Praise!

More than the air I breathe
More than the song I sing
More than anything, I need you more..

Your Presence is Light to me. 

Restoration

You’ve taken my pain
And you called me by a new name
You’ve taken my shame
And in it’s place
You give me joy
You take my mourning
Turn it into dancing You give me joy
You take my weeping
Turn it into laughing You give me joy
You take my mourning
Turn it into dancing to my soul
You take my sadness
Turn it into Joy You give me joy
You bring restoration
You bring restoration
You bring restoration
To my soul
Hallelujah, hallelujah
You make all things new
All things new
Hallelujah, hallelujah
You make all things new
All things new

‎"God designed us for joy. He created us to have more wealth in our souls than the greatest billionaire of our day has money in the bank. And it is from that great storehouse we get to live and help others come into their destiny in God. This is the privilege of a believer-to give out of overflow, out of a prosperous soul."

"Prayer is dangerous. Prayer is powerful. The most powerful prayer is being honest before God & allowing Him to change you."
