Zephaniah 3:17-20

17 The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.”
18 “The sorrows for the appointed feasts I will remove from you; they are a burden and a reproach to you. 19At that time I will deal with all who oppressed you; I will rescue the lame and gather those who have been scattered. I will give them praise and honor in every land where they were put to shame. 20 At that time I will gather you; at that time I will bring you home. I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes before your very eyes,” says the LORD.

Hey bibletalk folks, here is an excerpt from a book that I read.. it's been stuck in my mind for the past several days now..

How much more do I long to bestow upon you tokens of My affection? And My love for you surpasses all human comprehension.

For I am not a man that I should be limited;

and I need not divide My spirit among many;

but I long to share with EACH My fullness;

and there is no favoritism in My love.

Look not upon your lack of capacity, for I will enlarge your heart.

Open not your mouth to question Me,

for love questions not , but receives gladly and freely.

As you do the same, you will not be disappointed.

Be not dismayed, neither give heed to your sense of unworthiness,

for lo, I have loved you simply because I have loved you,

and what other reason do I need?

Do you not yourself do the same in human relations?

Shall I not shed My love upon you for no other reason than simply that I have chosen to do so?

Otherwise it was not love in it's purest sense.

happy

1 Chronicles 29:11-13

"Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.

Wealth and honor come from you;
you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
to exalt and give strength to all.

Now, our God, we give you thanks,
and praise your glorious name."

Thank God for LOVE

In the Kingdom of God we find...
…the highest place is found as we take the lowly place.
…strength is found as we discover our weakness.
…fullness comes as we empty ourselves.
…life is gained as we lay it down for love’s sake.
…riches are gained as we give them away.
…greatness comes as we carry a towel and washbasin into every circumstance and relationship in life.

Exactly

the mixture of sounds, the chaos of random instruments, the projection of voices, the use of everything as an instrument for the glory of God - including our hands and a guitar case.

A handful of joy and a culmination of sounds

exactly how thanksgiving should sound

have a Happy thanksgiving :)

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (NIV)

⁹ Two are better than one,
because they have a good return for their labor:
¹⁰ If either of them falls down,
one can help the other up.
But pity anyone who falls
and has no one to help them up.

This Little Light of Mine

the man from heaven

1 Corinthians 15:49: And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven.

More and more of Jesus... that’s what I want and what I want to look like. He’s the perfect example of having faith, grace, love, wisdom, and power. There are so many things that hit us through the course of a day or a week that make us want to become upset, frustrated, depressed, discouraged, or push away the people around us, but what truly displays our character is how we react. More and more of trusting God… it’s what I’ve been doing the past few days… the triple attack is hitting me harder and harder... the world, the flesh, and the devil…

The flesh is trying to control me... the world is trying to discourage me, and the devil is trying to make me give into the past two... But God is greater than all 3, and if I give in… the more I push back the progress of what God’s spirit is trying to work in me. I don’t wanna be stuck in the same place or state forever… I wanna keep moving forward… I wanna walk in the spirit and look like Jesus because He’s attractive! Who doesn’t want to be attractive? Who doesn’t want to be a man or woman of integrity? I want to be like the man from heaven… and the only way I’ll become like Him is if I hang out with Him… in His presence through prayer –both speaking and listening- God is good, all the time.
