Anything For You

A poem that I wrote:

I am week
In you presence

I am small

In your light

You heal me

You hold me

I am happy

In your arms

Your fire burns inside of me

Like the wick

Of a candle

You keep me going

So why do I reject you

Why do I keep you a secret

You knew me before time began

Does that make me a hypocrtite

You gave

The ultimate sacrifice

A life

Your life

I will make you known

I will share your love

I will shout from the rooftops

Let your glory reign

Anything for you, Lord

If It Was Your Last Day...

As we approach September 11 (tomorrow), I wanted to dedicate this blog post to those who lost their lives when the World Trade Center was attacked.  As I have thought about this more, I have realized how fortunate we are to be breathing.  We don't deserve the life that we have been given.  In fact, the Bible says that the wages of sin is death.  So why do we take life for granted?  We only have one, short life.  Some people say that there is no point in living if you are only going to die.  Others say that life is to short to be wasted telling people about God.  However, we need to have a different perspective on it all.  Here is part of a song by Natalie Grant...
Only one life to live
Only one love to give
Only one life, only one love
So make it, make it matter
The people in the World Trade Center didn't know that it was there last day, do you think that they would have put more effort into there life if they knew that it was so short?   Us as humans and children of God need to realize that while we might be taking up time telling others about Him, it will ultimately further his kingdom.  So what do you say?  Will you gain today and lose eternity, or will you take the chance to set the world on fire.

Perfection is over-rated

Have you ever felt like you aren't worth anything.  Like you have absolutely nothing to contribute, or maybe you feel that some of your friends are perfect and you aren't.  The bad news is that we will never be perfect.  We will always fall short of perfection.  But, I have great news for you.  God thinks that you are beautiful just the way you are.  Jesus is the only one who could ever be perfect so don't try to be.

There could never be a more beautiful you
Don't buy the lies, disguises and hoops, they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you    -Jonny Diaz

God will love you whether or not you are perfect.  So stop trying to be a perfect person, and aim for a Godly one, and just maybe you will have time to set the world on fire.
