VER...Whoa....who shot you out of a rocket today??? VERY poignant message that cuts straight to the heart of the matter of life!!! <BR/><BR/>"His goal is not to get you what you want; it's to give you what you need." That's awesome. How unloving of a Father would He be if He gave us what we WANT all the time??? Reminds me of one of my favorite Rich Mullins songs (I know, everytime I hear a Rich Mullins song I tell you that it's my favorite...it's hard to pick just one =)) <BR/><BR/>HOLD ME JESUS - Rich Mullins<BR/><BR/>Well, sometimes my life <BR/>Just don't make sense at all <BR/>When the mountains look so big <BR/>And my faith just seems so small <BR/><BR/>So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf <BR/>You have been King of my glory <BR/>Won't You be my Prince of Peace <BR/><BR/>And I wake up in the night and feel the dark <BR/>It's so hot inside my soul <BR/>I swear there must be blisters on my heart <BR/><BR/>So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf <BR/>You have been King of my glory <BR/>Won't You be my Prince of Peace <BR/><BR/>Surrender don't come natural to me <BR/>I'd rather fight You for something <BR/>I don't really want <BR/>Than to take what You give that I need <BR/>And I've beat my head against so many walls <BR/>Now I'm falling down, I'm falling on my knees <BR/><BR/>And this Salvation Army band <BR/>Is playing this hymn <BR/>And Your grace rings out so deep <BR/>It makes my resistance seem so thin <BR/><BR/>So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf <BR/>You have been King of my glory <BR/>Won't You be my Prince of Peace <BR/><BR/><BR/>But now I just have one question....how do I convince God that I really NEED an ipod???<BR/><BR/>~ Love you!

We get mixed up sometimes and even what some of the preachers say on tv or even in church that is we follow God He will make us rich. He will but maybe not in money form but in of form of being rich in the Spirit, and rich with His love. People misunderstand the meaning of abundent life, but you have hit the nail on the hear. Keep up the good work, I enjoy reading it.<BR/>MichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
