LIFE SONG

Let my lifesong sing to you!!! As I awoke into this day you've given, I have this song in my head and all through my shower I am singing. I think about my meditation and what you said in the book of James. I stop and wonder.....What do those words really mean? What is this life I am living? What is this song I sing? Am I a friend of God?? or is the world my friend indeed? Do I seek your kingdom? Do I want to be humbled just for me? O teach me Lord and show me how to be righteous in Thee. Break my heart and humble me so I bring Glory to your name. I have been a wayward child, now much like Moses I feel. Show me your glory O God, so my Love for You is real!!!! Show me thy ways O Lord, Teach me thy paths O Lord, Let me not be ashamed, Let not mine enemies, triumph over me.

"For whether we live, we live unto the Lord: and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's." Rom14:8

I am a child of the King and I belong to the Lord. Does the life I live glorify him? Is my life in His will? Do things other people say get me down or discourage me? Whom shall I fear? I am the Lord's no matter what. Psalm 118:8 says " It is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man." So, we ask ourselves: Where is our confidence? Often times in this world with our struggle, our confusion, or even sometimes the opposite of that being our human nature and born ability to get caught up or excited about the world, our confidence is pulled or placed in other directions, other paths, other things or people. Sometimes, we let things other people say or do affect us way too much. Now I am not talking about the good advice we can get from older people or the instruction a wiser one can offer. I am talking about looking for the bigger piece of the pie and relying on someone or something of this earth to somehow bestow that upon you so much so that you lose sight of where your real treasure is. You know how I feel about my life? Often times I feel confused. I tend to wonder what life would be like if if if.......... Which then leads to me comparing myself to others, which leads to lowering my self confidence. Well, isn't that appropriate? You see God means all things for the good for those that love him. Romans 8:28 You see my confidence would be better and stronger if I put my trust in the Lord and not myself or any other mortal being. I have been crying out for some time wondering what God's will for my life is. What am I supposed to do? Who am I supposed to be? These things are new to me, I am still on the milk. However, in this quest, this journey, we call life, which is now no longer just a life on earth but, an eternal life with my Father in Heaven, I have to question myself. My motives? Am I seeking His kingdom? Is it really HIS will I am searching for? Is it for HIS glory and his alone? The fact of the matter is we are human and are not always where we would like to be. Is it possible? If we could then why would we need a savior? Why grace? Oh sweet grace. So, we struggle and we fall. If I understand correctly it will be this way until the final homecoming. This battle. This war within. So, what is God's will for my life? What are my duties on earth? I should put my trust in Him and thank Him for Christ's spirit within me constantly reminding me of who I should be glorifying. "For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day" II Cor. 4:16

the sun's coming up

Thou restoreth my soul
mine cup runneth over
O to have a mind that's sober
the pit of darkness
I shall not miss
new life with Christ
Pure sweet bliss
when I stumble
when I fall
I still hear the Father's call
to thy bosom I will crawl
repent O my soul
for grace I need
who am I that thou would consider me
O that my glory would be thine
Precious saviorLord I call mine
This life on earth like morning fog
soon lifted up
to you resolved
Thou art my rock eternally
to thy peaceful abode
I wish to flee
forgive me Lord this I weep
Grant me grace to live for thee
Selah
