Tell the World to Live//
I don’t know where this is going. All I know is that I am more alive than I have ever been, and if I don’t start giving this away I may just fall over dead…
//
At times I am overwhelmed with emotion. Overwhelmed by His grace. Overwhelmed by His love. I guess this is the feeling of being truly alive. Truly aware. Aware of God. Aware of His presence. Aware of life.
There is life happening all around you, and if you don’t slow down you’ll miss it. Do you see the bird that soars? The way trees bend in the wind? The flowers opening their pedals to the Sun?
At times I feel like the soaring bird. It seems like there is no height too high for me to reach. At times I feel like nothing is impossible. At times I feel completely free. At times I feel completely surrounded by God’s provision.
At times I feel like the tree bending in the wind. The winds of the Spirit wildly rush over me and I feel as though at any moment I could be uprooted and swept away into the sky. One wind leaves me completely bare, and the next sows new leaves onto my branches.
At times I feel like the flower opening its pedals. I spend far too much time with the Son and I can’t help but open up every single area of my life. I give it all to Him and He makes it all new. I’m unafraid. Unafraid to show my true colors. Unafraid to bloom.
‘I’ve found a love, greater than life itself
I’ve found a hope stronger and nothing compares
I once was lost now I’m alive in You’ (I’ve Found a Love, Bethel Live)
Yesterday’s portion is not enough to see me through this day. I can’t drink yesterday’s water. It is gone. A future hope of glory is wonderful, but I need Him today! If I don’t have relationship with God today, then I have nothing. If I have nothing in this life but relationship with God then I have everything.

If you take away all my money,
I still have a reason to live.
If you take all of my friends,
I still have a reason to dance.
If you take away my family,
I still have a reason to sing.
If you take away my King,
Then you’ve taken my life.
But you can’t take my money
And you can’t take my friends
And you can’t take my family
Because they all belong to my King!
And my King can not be taken.
//
Without my King I am nothing. Without my King I am a man lost, desperate, hungry and cold. Without my King I have no purpose. Without my King I have no true joy. Without my King there is no true wonder. Without my King I have no reason for hope. Without my King – I dare not think any longer what I would be, what life would be, without my King…
With my King I am a mighty, strong warrior ready for battle. With my King I am a man found, at peace, satisfied and safe. With my King I know my mission. With my King I have everlasting JOY! With my King I walk in ever increasing wonder! With my King I have hope as an anchor for my soul. With my King, I am free.

He gave it all for me.
He has not withheld anything from me. He loves me so much that He gave His only son, how dare I think He is going to now withhold His provision? How can I even think He would withhold the very desires HE put on my heart? He is good. And He is worthy of my all. And that is what I have decided to give Him… only everything.
