{ Importance of Rest*.. }

The Importance of Rest by Bill Johnson

A heart of #rest..

-----

" I know the Lord is always with me.
I will not be shaken, for He is right beside me.
No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice.
My body rests in safety.
For You will not leave my soul among the dead,
or allow your holy one to rot in the grave. "

Psalm 16:8-10 (NLT)

-----

" Truly my soul finds rest in God;
my salvation comes from him.
Truly He is my rock and my salvation;
He is my fortress, I will never be shaken. "

Psalm 62:1-2 (NIV)

-----

" Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High,
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD,
“He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
Surely He will save you from the fowler’s snare,
and from the deadly pestilence. "

Psalm 91:1-3 (NIV)

-----

This is what the LORD says:
“Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask for the ancient paths,
ask where the good way is, and walk in it,
and you will find rest for your souls."

Jeremiah 6:15-17 (NIV)

-----

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion?

Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life.
I'll show you how to take a real rest.
Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

Matthew 11:29 (MSG)

{ True love said the loudest, without words.. }

What Are Words by Chris Medina

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see
How every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

And I know an angel was sent just for me
And I know I'm meant to be where I am
And I'm gonna be
Standing right beside her tonight
And I'm gonna be by your side
I would never leave when she needs me most

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
And I'm gonna be here forever more
Every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

I'm forever keeping my angel close

-----

True love said the loudest without words..

Just like He did 2000 years ago..
He didn't just said "I Love you"..
Love gave His life for all 6.5 billion one of us..

And now He can say..

"And I'm gonna be by your side..
I would never leave when you need me most.."

God's words comes does not only come by Him meaning it,
but also by Him showing it.

Oh His love will never fail.

PS: Good on ya Chris, you are her miracle.

{ Familee, my constant safe haven.. }

when things out there are not as stable as we are normally use to, and this inc. all of our circles, there is one place where you can rest secured in and that's,

familee.

not only they are our constant safe haven, but the very ones whom God has gracefully placed us in with a strong bonding and relationship, has already accepted us unconditionally.

even at our darkest, they embrace us with open arms of love and grace like no other which outshines the very worse in us.

now that's love.

-------

crazy love to my God given M. and D. who hearts me unconditionally much proving that grace is not only undeserving, but grace is also beautifully amazing.

you'll never let me go.

with familee like this, how not to say i am rich?

{ Away with Jesus & His beauty.. }

"come away with Me.."

when you start to look at the world and all it's ugliness, there is nothing far better to be away from it. who wants to camp in constant strive and burden?

now all these that surrounds are starting to become shadows in His light.. just going to camp and soak here for awhile..

how not have my eyes and heart turned to Him?

{ With no pretense.. }

it is no longer a stain glass mascarade affair.

{ The God things are worth the wait.. }

down to the seconds, in His time, everything flows by only one rhythm and realm, and that is His to reign in and control. for when He says it will happen, it has already happened.

waiting for God to move is never a wasted time because when He moves, things gets accelerated. one God moment can change everything; He restores and He increases.

dare not trust in the situation even though it maybe one that is hard to lay your eyes and heart upon, but trust in the God who says He is able to do far more greater things that we dare not even dream or imagine.

in all things, especially in times of heavy doubts, pray. there is power in declaration and it not only rises our faith but rather enlarging our human perspective of the greatness of who we serve.

we serve a God who is more than willing and able. there is no one else like Him or can do it like Him. He is the God who orchestrates both what is done on earth as it is in heaven.

this is, living in the center of His irrevocable and unchangeable will.

{ That's real love.. }

this is the story about love:

love that came down from heaven,
love lived with us,
love spoke,
love healed,
love drew crowds,
love changed lifes,
love made waves,
love was bold in face of enemies,
love was true no matter the cost,
and love was faithful.

love prayed, listened and obeyed,
love knew what it had to be done and did it,
love was betrayed and abandoned,
love was silent when wrongly accused,
love was whipped,
love was beaten,
love was tortured and mocked,
but love was strong.

love dragged itself to the cross and laid down willingly to be,
insulted,
shamed,
nailed,
stabbed,
ripped,
abandoned,
and killed.

love hung from nails as the crowd looked on,
and God looked away.
love denied comfort,
love refused rescue,
love courageously did what love had to do,
love sacrificially did what only love could do,
then love took one last breath and finished.

love gave,
His life.
love paid,

our debt.
love saved,
us all even when we are not worth saving.

that's real love.

-----

"This is real love -- not that we loved God, 

but that He loved us and sent His Son as a scarifice to take away our sins."

1 John 4:10

{ Pictures of Grace.. }

{ healing rain is pouring down.. }

crowned with His goodness & dripped in abundance!

Bountiful harvest is ours!

We are the good ground!

With fruit bearing seeds for His glory!

“They're the green shoot that I planted,
planted with my own hands to display my glory.”

ISA60:21 (MSG)

Healing Rain by Michael W Smith

Healing rain is pouring down

Healing rain is pouring down

Healing rain is pouring down

I'm not afraid

I'm not afraid

Let It Rain by Michael W Smith

Let it rain

Let it rain

Open the floodgates of heaven

“God will throw open the doors of his sky vaults and pour rain on your land on schedule,
and bless the work you take in hand.” 

Deut28:12 (Msg)

{ supernatural cravings. }

came to a point where anything that is humanly sensible (in any form) does not satisfy a wee bit. if God is not the center, than what is the point of centering in one that is just good without the G factor? the natural gets boring and does not move the heart no longer. in need of the "super" in front that will cause pure excitement and passionate to every beat.

this time round, i only crave for the supernatural and an impossible God life. and its increasing in an alarming rate.

so this is the normal Christian life.

"Our capacity for spiritual experience both proves our need for something greater than ourselves and leaves us wanting when we fill it with anything but God."

Erwin R. McManus 

{ feed on Jesus, and all He's done. }

"Instead you thrill to God's Word,
you chew* on Scripture day and night.
You're a tree replanted in Eden,
bearing fresh fruit every month,
Never dropping a leaf,
always in blossom."

Psalm 1:2-3 (The Message)

"But his delight and desire are in the law of the Lord, and on His law (the precepts, the instructions, the teachings of God) he habitually meditates (ponders and studies) by day and by night."

Psalm 1:2-3 (The Amplified)

Word: Chew

Definition #1: grind with teeth
Synonyms: bite, champ, chaw, chomp, crunch, dispatch, feast upon, gnaw, gulp, gum, manducate, masticate, munch, nibble, rend, ruminate, scrunch

Definition #2: think about deeply
Synonyms: consider, deliberate, meditate, mull, mull over,muse on, ponder, reflect upon, ruminate, weigh

(ref: dictionary.com)

everytime we take a bite into His word,

we chew on Him;

a body once crush, masticated, pierced and wounded with chunks taken out.

let's start and end our day with opening our mouths and eyes to feast upon His finished work and reflecting His goodness.

thanksgiving 010111:


to God,

for His constant faithfulness in every second and itty bitty portion of all that concerns our life. 

and He shall continue to do so,

as He is our everlasting God whose eye is forever upon us wherever we go. 

how can we run away from You? 

the One who centers everything with everything birthing from You.

"What's done is done, but God is not through with you!" - Louie Giglio

Let's forgot about what happened (the former things), 

stop going over old history and dwelling on the past. 

God is doing something brand new and it will spiring forth and burst out, 

coming in like a rushing flood,

exploding in every area of our life.

#2 Sam 5:20
