sustenance

A sweet-as verse a friend read to me yesterday...

"...now He offers you the true bread from heaven. The true bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world...I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty." -Jesus (John 6:32-5)

a beautiful waste

Well. Lesson learnt today? Don't walk away from computer whilst wearing headphones connected to said computer. Right. Now that I've successfully untangled myself long enough to grab my journal...

When Dalton was here awhile back we had an Adoration night, and he was singing something so good I wrote the gist of it down...

I've waited a long time to break this alabaster jar
but You're worth it
I wanna hear You say
my life is a beautiful mess
here at Your feet
I wanna be like David-after Your heart
like Mary-choosing that which was best
as I sit at your feet pouring out fragrant oil
May my life have no agenda
just adoreYou
love You and be loved
waste my life at your feet
it's the one thing I desire...



Psalm 27:4 "the one thing I ask of the LORD-the thing I seek most-is to live in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, delighting in the LORD's perfections and meditating in his Temple"



PS: God MARVELS at you!

God's cry

I'm reading a fantastic book right now, called "After God's Own Heart" by Mike Bickle. It's about becoming like David. What set David apart as a man after God’s own heart was his unrelenting passion to search out and understand the emotions of God.

I'm not very far in, but love it so far. One thing I love is how Bickle expresses God's attitude toward us, and I just wanted to share that with you...

“turn because I am married to you. My heart burns with longing and desire for intimate fellowship with you. I yearn for close relationship and encounter between My heart and your heart.”
