Thy Will Be Done

Sometimes our bliss turns into abyss... What once was, and was meant to be, shatters. We set expectations for ourselves and for others, That are unachievable, and always leave us disappointed. We place our hope and trust in things of this world, Things that are without a doubt going to fall through the cracks. We picture love, we dream, we fantasize, Thinking we deserve it all, But what do we really deserve? What does this world owe us? Things that are here today, steadfast, with vision cast far into the future, Look back at us from tomorrow, laugh, and are gone. An emptiness, a void, that you think nothing... absolutely nothing can fill...

- until -

You discover, or rediscover that LOVE, that unconditional, passionate love, undeserving, merciful, forgiving, LOVE. The Love of a Heavenly Father, a God, that looks down on you and just smiles. He sees your weaknesses, your flaws, your imperfections. He sees your fears, your insecurities, your sins, Yet, He loves you nevertheless. Oh, what a love! What an incredible, incredible Love. That Love, that Truth, His Promises, start to fill in that empty hole and void, fill in every open wound and gap in our lives. It restores, it heals, it refreshes, It fills a once hopeless, broken soul back to life again. The pain doesn't go away, it still stings with from time to time, but beneath it all, there is a Hope, a Peace, a Joy, from none other than our Savior Jesus Christ our Lord. Jesus, enter our dark abyss; be our Light! Even when it doesn't make sense, we lay our hearts at your feet, and say, "We Trust You, Lord" - "Thy Will Be Done."

Hope's Anthem

A friend of mine recently gave me a worship mix cd with a bunch of great worship songs. This song, Hope's Anthem, was one of them. Such a great song!

Verse 1
He's awakening the hope in me
By calling forth my destiny
He's breathing life
Into my soul
I will thirst for
Him and Him alone
Pre Chorus
He has come like the rain
That showers on the barren plain
So my heart and tongue confess
Jesus, Christ the Hope of man
Chorus
My hope is in you, God
I am steadfast
I will not be moved
I'm anchored, never shaken
All my hope is in You

Look to the Heavens

I look to the sky every night and am filled with inexpressible joy.

It reminds me that the Lord is Almighty, Lord over all Creation, Lord over my life.

It gives me a sense of awe that God created the Heavens and the Earth, all of Creation.

I am filled with a sense of peace, knowing He has my life in the palm of His hands.

That is one way I know if I am on the right path with God. When I am not following His will, I can't feel His presence when I look to the Heavens. When I am disobedient to His Will, I look to the moon and feel nothing. But when I am very close with the Lord and seeking after Him with all my Heart, I look at the moon and feel the Holy Spirit fill me with such JOY! Not joy like happy happy joy joy. Joy as if even if my entire life was falling to pieces, I still know the Lord is Good and His Love endures.

This is a picture of the moon that I took on the night of Good Friday this year.
It was a full moon and so gorgeous.
