You Love Me

If I say to You, “I love you,” only to make you happy, you know I don’t mean it. If I say, “I love You” and I cry out my love and I mean what I say, You Love me.

If I say, “Lord, change me,” but I keep doing the things I do, You know I have blocked You from that door. If I say, “Lord change me,” and I do my best to change my ways, You are able to open that door and help me and You love me.

If I’m in pain and I say, “Lord, I hate you and what you’ve done,” You look at me and cry. You know my hurt and you want to help me. If I’m in pain and I cry out to You, “Lord, help me,” you reach out Your mighty hand and You help me through it all. You pour out Your love on me and you love me.

If I do my work but don’t include You, You know it won’t go well at all. I have a hard time in all I do. If I go my work and Pray, “Lord be in my doing,” You bless the work and it becomes easy. Therefor it makes You and others happy. You love my prayer and You love me.

So if You love me but I don’t love others I’m missing You. You, O Lord, are love. So help me love like You love me.

Love me, Change me, be in All I do, and LOVE will reflect out of me like a bright light from heaven.

“I know what it is to be in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.”

-Philippians 4:12-13

Don't Give Up (Part 2)

God Worked today greatly to restore my iPod.

OK, yesterday you may have read how my iPod was having problems, so I went to plug in my iPod earlier today just to see if it would sync and I prayed over and over "God, please fix it, please." He did! The moment I plugged it in it started to sync with no errors. I was so thankful. Now I have all my songs back but the main button still needs to be fixed. For now, as my mom said, "treat it like a very expensive mp3." Which means, only listen to the music to cut back on the wear and tear. I guess I shouldn't be surprised when God answers my prayers with my iPod - my iPod was an answer to prayer when I won it in a drawing a year and a half ago!

Thanking God for all he has done!

The amazing Power of prayer. He knows our prayers before we pray them, while we are asking for our needs He will go ahead and answer them.

God is NOT dead, He's alive and working in many.

"I will praise God's name in song and glorify him with thanksgiving."

Psalms 69:30

Don't Give Up (Part 1)

Today my iPod was messed up and the main button was not working. To be honest I was very upset. I grabbed my bible and went into a room, shut the door, sat down on the floor, and prayed. I was just about to give up. 

For about five minutes I had silence with God. Then my mom called me out, gave me my iPod and showed me that the button will work some and that my iPod is still good for music.  When I went to look at the music all that was there was a song by Calling Glory “Don’t Give Up.” 

When I listened to it I cried in Joy and Sadness. I was happy and relieved.  I shouldn’t give up. God gave me hope. He knows my heart, He knows I love music so he used “Don’t Give Up” to give me hope. It gave me so much hope that I thanked God constantly. 

Oh, How GREAT Is Our God. I should give things like this up to God and let Him take care of this, but, sometimes God uses these things so we will draw closer to Him. To pray and to give all our worries to Him and that’s what I did. I gave it up to him and he gave me a song of hope. 

God gives us hope when we are broken, IF we go to Him and not to the people of this world. Only God can give true Joy that last forever. God is the same Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.

 

"The plans of the heart belong to man,
    but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.
 All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes,
    but the Lord weighs the spirit.
 Commit your work to the Lord,
    and your plans will be established.
 The Lord has made everything for its purpose,
    even the wicked for the day of trouble.
 Everyone who is arrogant in heart is an abomination to the Lord;
    be assured, he will not go unpunished.
 By steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for,
    and by the fear of the Lord one turns away from evil.
 When a man's ways please the Lord,
    he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him."

Proverbs 16:1-7
