Offering

Offering, by Third Day:

Magnificent Holy Father

I stand in awe of all I see

Of all the things You have created

But still You choose to think of me

Who am I that You should suffer

Your very life to set me free

The only thing that I can give You

Is the life You gave to me

This is my offering, dear Lord

This is my offering to You, God

And I will give You my life

For it's all I have to give

Because You gave Your life for me

I stand before You at this alter

So many have given You more

I may not have much I can offer

Yet what I have is truly Yours

Isaiah 40:21-26

²¹ Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood since the earth was founded?
²² He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth,
and its people are like grasshoppers.
He stretches out the heavens like a canopy,
and spreads them out like a tent to live in.
²³ He brings princes to naught
and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing.
²⁴ No sooner are they planted,
no sooner are they sown,
no sooner do they take root in the ground,
than he blows on them and they wither,
and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.

²⁵ “To whom will you compare me?
Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One.
²⁶ Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:
Who created all these?
He who brings out the starry host one by one
and calls forth each of them by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing.

Coming Together As One

We all are different. As Christians, we may be from different churches or believe in different theologies, but the truth is, we all believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. We're different, but we're on the same side. We need to encourage and build each other up rather than arguing about who church is better. Instead of holding each other back, boost them up. We all have the goal to bring new souls to Christ and we need each other to reach all the lost souls in the world. (Through Christ) Come and unite together as fellow Christians, so that we can become the perfect bride of Christ. Help each other! Where one is weak, another is strong. Where one is blind, another may see. We need to put our differences aside and come together as one body, one life, one church, one bride - for the glory of God. Unite together in love and in Christ!

God's Love

The more I think about it, the more I am bewildered. God's love is inconceivable. He loves us no matter what! That can't be taken lightly. We fail so often that we forget and take it for granted that God will forgive us. DON'T LET THAT HAPPEN! This is God your dealing with! The Creator of the universe. Never forget His love for you. Thank/praise Him that He is God and that He loves us! So thank Him that He doesn't give you what you deserve.

Psalm 29

Psalm 29

A psalm of David.

¹ Ascribe to the LORD, you heavenly beings,
ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
² Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name;
worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness.

³ The voice of the LORD is over the waters;
the God of glory thunders,
the LORD thunders over the mighty waters.
⁴ The voice of the LORD is powerful;
the voice of the LORD is majestic.
⁵ The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars;
the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.
⁶ He makes Lebanon leap like a calf,
Sirion like a young wild ox.
⁷ The voice of the LORD strikes
with flashes of lightning.
⁸ The voice of the LORD shakes the desert;
the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh.
⁹ The voice of the LORD twists the oaks
and strips the forests bare.
And in His temple all cry, “Glory!”

¹⁰ The LORD sits enthroned over the flood;
the LORD is enthroned as King forever.
¹¹ The LORD gives strength to His people;
the LORD blesses His people with peace.

A Life of Worship

Living lives of worship. We all need to do this. God is pleased when we take it a step further than just praising Him in church. (Although, praising God in church shouldn't be a lower priority.) To do this, you can't just praise God in church, no you have to take it much further than that. Every where you go, every moment your alive praise God! Praise Him for your many blessing that He has given you. Thank Him and Praise Him. Live your life so that it is pleasing to God. Every choice you make, make it a choice that will please God. Let your actions prove that you love God. In essence, give your entire life to God. I encourage you all to strive to find God and live for Him in a completely new way. Praise the Lord! =)

The Road Less Taken

All of us have a choice. We all have a free-will and we all have the ability to choose what we do, believe in, and live for. Everyone has a choice. And as we walk the path of life we make choices that alter what we do, who we see, and who we are.

In life there are two paths that can be taken. The first path is wide and smooth and many travel on it. The second is narrow and rough, few travel upon it. The first path may look appetizing, but overall it leads to a fiery pit. The second, though rough and hard to travel upon, leads to the a place of joy and happiness where darkness cannot go. Many take the first path and over all lead themselves to a place of death. But for the few who travel the narrow path, I commend and stand beside you as a brother. Even though the trials on earth may be great, the ultimate reward is beyond your imagination. It may be hard, but there is only one path that leads to heaven, and unfortunately, it is less traveled, but I encourage you to join with the few on the narrow path.

I pray that in the path of life, God will strengthen you in your walk, you will choose the right path, grow in faith toward Him, and you will serve Him all the days of your life. May the Lord bless you and keep you, and may He shine His face upon you.
