I’m having a beautiful moment with the Lord. I’ve wondered if this is one of those moments I should keep to myself or not. Obviously, I’ve decided to share a bit of it.

I’m worlds apart from the person I am to the person I dream of becoming. I wake everyday hoping that today I become more like the man I have entrusted every bit of hope I have… The man is Jesus Christ.

The lyrics of Worlds Apart by Jars of Clay are more beautiful than anything I could ever write on my own:

I pray… “To rid myself of all but love, to give and die… Take my world apart – I am on my knees – take my world apart – broken on my knees… All I am for all you are because what I need and what I believe are worlds apart.” (Jars of Clay).

I pray God takes my world apart and uses me for His glory. I ask him to use the breath He has given me to glorify Himself however he chooses.

I’m understanding today a little bit about obedience thanks to the leadership of the Holy Spirit. I am am rejoicing today with the words of David found in 2 Samuel 22:21-25,

“God made my life complete when I placed all the pieces before him. When I cleaned up my act, he gave me a fresh start. Indeed, I’ve kept alert to God’s ways; I haven’t taken God for granted. Every day I review the ways he works, I try not to miss a trick. I feel put back together, and I’m watching my step. God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to his eyes.”

God take my world apart and let me change the world for your glory…

It’s been too long since I have posted anything here! Way too long! I’ve made the decision for awhile to not have cable or internet. It’s my hope that we will see some help with our finances as a result.

So, I figured tonight I would see how difficult it would be to post something from my BlackBerry… This may be another way to cut back too! Who knows?

Hope. Where does your hope come from? Is your hope centered on the external things of life? Or is your hope found on something that is much deeper?

I have hope that comes from within. This hope does not come from me… It is a hope that only comes from faith in Jesus. He gives me hope when life all around appears hopeless. He gives me hope when I don’t feel like there is any hope to be found.

This kind of hope comes from the Cross and what Jesus paid for all of humanity. Jesus is our only hope. He gives hope that can change the world…
