| I will serve You because I love You,
You have given life to me.
I was nothing until You found me,
You have given life to me.
Heartaches, broken people, ruined lives
are why You died on calvary.
Your touch, is what I long for, You have
given life to me. | | |
| My soul, wait silently for God alone, for my expectation is from Him. FATHER, when I realize how sufficient You are, I will not look to others for fulfillment. Today I hear Your reminder: "Wait silently for (Me) God alone." And my heart responds, Yes! I will TRUST! | | |
| It's been a LONG time since I posted on Xanga. It's kinda nice that there is much less 'traffic' here than Facebook. It's almost like writing in a diary. Well, not exactly as 'secure', but I think you get the idea... :] My sister recommended that I read the 2nd Chapter of A.W. Tozer's "The Pursuit of God" last night... I read it twice last night and again this morning. May I be able to echo and truly 'Amen' Brother Tozer's prayer: Father, I want to know Thee, but my cowardly heart fears to give up its toys. I cannot part with them without inward bleeding, and I do not try to hide from Thee the terror of the parting. I come trembling, but I do come. Please root from my heart all those things which I have cherished so long and which have become a very part of my living self, so that Thou mayest enter and dwell there without a rival. Then shalt Thou make the place of Thy feet glorious. Then shall my heart have no need of the sun to shine in it, for Thyself wilt be the light of it, and there shall be no night there. In Jesus' name. Amen. | | |

Devotional Reading (September 13)
In the morning... come up... Present yourself to me there on top of the mountain. (Exodus 34:2)
The "morning"' is the time I have set to meet with the Lord. "Morning"---the very word itself is like a cluster of luscious grapes to crush into sacred wine for me to drink. In the morning! This is when God wants me at my best in strength and hope so that I may begin my daily climb, not in weakness but in strength. Last night I buried yesterday's fatigue, and this morning I took on a new supply of energy. Blessed is the day when the first victory is won in prayer! Holy is the day when the dawn finds me on the mountaintop with God!
Dear Father, I am coming to meet with You. Nothing on the common. everyday plain of life will keep me away from Your holy heights. At Your calling I come, so I have the assurance that You will meet with me. Each morning begun so well on the mountain will make me strong and glad the rest of the day!
