lover of Your presence: Archive

lukeseventeen21:

If I am not fulfilled in God, I will seek fulfillment in others.
If I do not know that God approves of me, I will not feel approved of by others, and will begin to strive for their approval.
If I do not feel secure in God, I will beg others to make me feel secure.
If I am not resting in God, I will always feel anxious around other people.

If I am not loving God and giving all of myself to Him, I cannot love another person in a way that is selfless.

Thank You, Jesus, for lessons, love, security in you, joy, peace, hope, and a new home for now.

He’s an awesome Daddy.

Divine Romance Phil Wickham

unworthyofhisgrace:

phil wickham | divine romance

The fullness of Your grace is here with me
The richness of Your beauty’s all I see
The brightness of Your glory has arrived
In Your presence God, I’m completely satisfied

For You I sing I dance
Rejoice in this divine romance
Lift my heart and my hands
To show my love, to show my love

testing vs temptation

so there’s a difference and testing. the enemy designs temptation for our failure, but God designs testing for our growth. temptation presets us with an opportunity to mess up. buy testing allows for our strengthening and the building up of our faith. temptation is from Satan, but testing comes from God. fruit and blessings come from testing.

why now?

why tonight? i should be joyful and excited for the most amazing experience of my life but i’m breaking down. i’m slowly falling apart.

Mar 28, 20111 note

as i sit here

i realize all the stuff i need to deal with: all the things that weigh me down, all the deep things of my heart and mind, all the issues i have yet to resolve, and all the things i’ve swept under the rug because i don’t want to deal with them. i’ve been denying that i need fixing but i need it.

Lord help me, be my strength and restore my spirit. i want to feel the joy You intended for me to have.

“The holiest men, the most free from impurity, have always felt it most. He whose garments are the whitest, will best perceive the spots upon them. He whose crown shineth the brightest, will know when he hath lost a jewel. He who giveth the most light to the world, will always be able to discover his own darkness. The angels of heaven veil their faces; and the angels of God on earth, his chosen people, must always veil their faces with humility, when they think of what they were. As you grow downward in humility seek also to grow upward, having nearer approaches to God in prayer and more intimate fellowship with Jesus.” —Charles Spurgeon (via guidemeinyourtruth)

I try to be so tough, but I'm just not strong enough. I can't do this alone. God, I need You to hold on to me. I try to be good enough, but I'm nothing without Your love. Savior, please keep saving me.

in less than 24 hours

I will be on a plane to Israel. it doesn’t feel real. I’m excited, nervous, and totally not prepared yet but I know God has so much in store. please keep us in your prayers for traveling mercy and for safety there since there’s been a lot going on. and for our experience as well, that God just reveal and teach new things to us and that we receive all He has for us. thanks guys!

my soul still remembers and sinks within me. this I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I hope in Him!” The Lord is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.

lamentations 3:20-25
