CategoryTrue Love in it’s most Radiant And Glorious Form!
Today, some 2,000 years ago, a Man clothed in majesty and splendor, covered in the blood of our sins, took the full weight of the worlds sin then, now, and forever upon Himself; and chose to be the perfect offering in our place, and died for our Salvation. That we may be one with Him and sit near Him, guiltless, in His heavenly Kingdom. He has loved us with an everlasting love but “All..
Here’s My Heart
Come Thou Fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of God’s unchanging love.
Here I raise my Ebenezer;
Hither by Thy help I’m come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me..
Can You Hear Him Calling?
Can you hear Him calling? Can you hear Jesus saying, “Child, come into my presence. I wan’t to spend the day with you. I want to be in your thoughts and your words, but first you must come to me.”

Entering His Presence <3
Lately I’ve been doing an incredible Bible study by Beth Moore called Stepping Up. It is a devotional studying the Psalms of Accent. I absolutely love it, so I thought I’d share a little of what I’ve learned with you.
In almost every Psalm we notice a consistent way of entering Gods presence (that is the opening of the Psalm) and of leaving (the ending). If you read through the Psalms most of..
In Your Arms
I’m turning the world off
Embracing the silence
Walking away from all the voices
That are screaming in my ear
I’ve been too caught up
I’ve been so stressed out
And all of the noise replaced the whisper
That used to be so clear
So I close every door
And put my face back on the floor
And I’m in Your arms
Where I belong
There’s no other place for me
Than right where You are
Some things just don’t..
“God Imparts Himself to Us”
The Sky, not the Grave, is our Goal.
Anna Spafford later spoke of being sucked violently downward. Baby Tanetta was torn from her arms by a collision with some heavy debris, with a blow so violent that Anna’s arm was severely bruised. She flailed at the water trying to catch her baby. Anna caught Tanetta’s gown for just a moment before another smashing blow tore the little girl out of her arms forever. Reaching out again, all she..

He informed Horatio that “A careful reckoning has been made and I believe we are now passing the place where the Ville du Havre was wrecked.
