Love Revelation

"Come to the water, you who thirst and you'll thirst no more.
Come to the Father, you who work and you'll work no more.
And all you who labor in vain and to the broken and shamed:

Love is here.
Love is now.
Love is pouring from His hands, from His brow.
Love is near, it satisfies.
Streams of mercy flowing from His side.
Cause love is here.

Come to the treasure, you who search and you'll search no more.
Come to the lover, you who want and you'll want no more, no.
And all you who labor in vain and to the broken and shamed,

Yeah:

Love is here.
Love is now.
Love is pouring from His hands, from His brow.
Love is near, it satisfies.
Streams of mercy flowing from His side.

Yeah

And to the bruised and fallen,
Captives, bound, and broken hearted.

He is the Lord,
He is the Lord,
Yeah

By His stripes He's paid our ransom
From His wounds we drink salvation

He is the Lord,
He is the Lord.

Love is here.
Love is now.
Love is pouring from
His hands, from His brow.
Love is near, it satisfies.
Streams of mercy flowing from His side.
Streams of mercy flowing from His side.
Cause love is here.
Our love is here."    -"Love Is Here" by Tenth Avenue North

A Fire That Burns

"We're the forgiven, singing redemption's song. There's a fire that burns inside. A fire that burns inside. Nothing can stop us. We'll be running through the night. With a fire that burns inside. A fire that burns inside...There's a fire in our hearts and it burns for You. It's never gonna fade away."
-"We Are The Free" by Matt Redman

I Need You

"I need You to soften my heart. To break me apart. I need You to open my eyes. To see that You're shaping my life. All I am, I surrender. Give me faith to trust what You say. That You're good and Your love is great. I'm broken inside, I give You my life. I need You to soften my heart. To break me apart. I need You to pierce through the dark. And cleanse every part of me. I may be weak. Your spirit strong in me. My flesh may fail. My God You never will."
-"Give Me Faith" by Elevation Worship

What Is Your Gift?

"If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly."
-Romans 12:8 (NLT)

"If you give encouraging guidance, be careful that you don't get bossy; if you're put in charge, don't manipulate; if you're called to give aid to people in distress, keep your eyes open and be quick to respond; if you work with the disadvantaged, don't let yourself get irritated with them or depressed by them. Keep a smile on your face."
-Romans 12:8 (MSG)

With All We Have

"With everything. With everything. We will shout forth Your praise."
                                                                                    -"With Everything" by Hillsong United

You Are Beautiful Beyond Description

"You are beautiful beyond description. Too marvelous for words. Too wonderful of comprehension. Like nothing ever seen or heard. Who can grasp Your infinite wisdom. Who can fathom the depth of Your love. You are beautiful beyond description. Majesty enthroned above. And I stand, I stand in awe of You. I stand, I stand in awe of You. Holy God to whom all praise is due. I stand in awe of You."
-"I Stand In Awe Of You" by Hillsong United

Have Open Ears And Wait

So I don't have anything incredible to say today like I have all the other days.
Today, I think I will tell you something different. Something not from a song. Something not from Scripture. Something that God put right in front of me.
So I have been looking for a job, like most people probably are. I went into a restaurant and talked to the manager. He kept acting like he was interested in hiring me. Two, three months went by. I was starting to give up. Starting to wonder if I should stop talking to him and start looking else where. Finally, one day, I was like "Okay, Lord, if you want me to have this job, let the manager give me the job right on the spot, right on the phone." So I called him and before I could say anything other than "Hey, how are you?", he told me he wanted me to come in and fill out some papers.
So I want you to take from this that maybe the Lord is telling you that you need to wait patiently. Or that maybe you're frustrated and starting to give up, and He wants you to wait. That maybe the timing isn't right. If I'm being honest here, I can't tell you what He wants you to do. Only He can. It's between the two of you. So listen. Listen to what He has to tell you.
