The Love of God is extravagant,
fills my life
My cup overflows
He is all I need.

My mind soul and spirit desire
Him alone.
Divine!
He is all in all.

Do not let your tongue lead you into sin,
and then say before the angel of God that is was a mistake.

The Dawning of a new day!

These past weeks I've been assessing my life, meditating, and pondering about what the future holds. My heart has been broken and some of my deepest (personal) dreams are dead. So as I look upon my corpse, I realize that the smell of death is nothing but the sign of life in me: Of Christ in me, the Hope of glory.
I've had to give up my dreams of grandeur, of fame, wealth, and superficial happiness. And though the renunciation to these material things have broken my heart, I feel alive and I've found that in my brokenness the Lord as cleans me from things that aren't meant to be in my life. The promises of God are eternal and everlasting, His covenant will not be broken, and His perfect Will will always prevail because HE IS GOD! He working in my life, so that everything He's said to me come to pass...

Thank you Lord for keeping me, for setting me apart, for continuing to pour out your Spirit! I don't deserve your Love and sacrifice, but thank you for choosing this broken vessel to be used by you and for Your Glory! Because you made me righteous in Christ, I can stand before you as blameless! Thank you for the sanctifying work of the Spirit (1 Pt. 1:2)! Though I haven't seen you, yet I love you (1 Pt. 1:8)!

This morning the Lord woke me up and said:

"The Lord will surely comfort Zion (you, Sarahi) and will look with compassion on all her (your) ruins; he will make her (your) deserts like Eden, her (your) wastelands like the garden of the Lord. Joy and gladness will be found in her (you), thanksgiving and the sound of singing. "
(Is. 51:3)

"Whatever weakens your reason, impairs
the tendernes of your conscience, obscures
your sense of God, and takes off the relish
of spiritual things; that to you is sin"

A prayer

Lord,

I give up all my own plans and purposes; all my own desires and hopes and
accept Thy will for my life. I give myself: my life, my all, utterly to Thee, to
be Thine forever.
Fill me and seal me with Thy Holy Spirit, use me as Thou wilt, send me
where Thou wilt. Work out Thy whole will in my life at any cost, now and
forever.

(Prayer by Betty Scott)
