Worth it ALL

“I don't understand Your ways

Oh but I will give You my song

Give You all of my praise

You hold on to all my pain

With it You are pulling me closer

And pulling me into Your ways


Now around every corner

And up every mountain

I'm not looking for crowns

Or the water from fountains

I'm desperate in seeking, frantic believing

That the sight of Your face

Is all that I need

I will say to You


It's gonna be worth it

It's gonna be worth it

It's gonna be worth it all

I believe this


It's gonna be worth it

It's gonna be worth it

It's gonna be worth it all

I believe this


You're gonna be worth it

You're gonna be worth it

You're gonna be worth it all

I believe this


You're gonna be worth it

You're gonna be worth it

You're gonna be worth it all

I believe this “-Worth it all, Rita Springer

This song says so much of my heart in it. I love her heart being so bare and raw in showing her affection for her King, and the Lover of her Soul. I love the truth that she speaks and how REAL it is. Especially in this world of so many “FAKE” things. We seem to confuse a lot. Lust ISN’T love, TV characters are DIFFERENT when they have to think of their own jokes and words of life, a deviated septum isn’t as common as they celebrities would LOVE for you to believe. We live in a day and age that is all about keeping up and winning. That is a lie and yet we feel that way and live as if it is the truth. But in this expression that God has given us through song, it is so beautiful because it shows us the ONE thing that actually DOES matter, and it isn’t anything we can buy, or achieve. The price has already been paid and if we were required to pay it, we couldn’t. I know a lot of people say that we get the free gift of Salvation, and I do believe that is true, yet who appreciates anything FREE? REALLY? We all love when we get free food, but SOMEONE had to pay for it, we may not have, but someone did. They just didn’t ask us to pay it back to them. It is the same thing in Salvation, although God asks for something MUCH BIGGER, He wants our lives. He wants everything that we have and He wants our attention. When we give him our lives and fully surrender to him there is a freedom in that but at the same time, giving our lives to him isn’t always free, and it isn’t easy most of the time, it is just the BETTER choice. It is His heart for you that makes it seem easier. No matter the pain and no matter the loss, or hardship, the end result of seeing God face to face will make it WORTH IT ALL!!!

Perseverance vs. Endurance

Endurance is something I normally associate with sports, but really in the bible endurance is something that is to wait out the storm to wait it out and know that things will change. Waiting for things to change but just sitting back and riding out the storm. I have endured a lot of things but what does that really show about my character? Nothing except that I know how to wait things out sometimes. That I can sit back and ride the wave, or have a bit of patience for things to change. Although endurance is good in sports and beneficial when you need to wait on something, it isn't what defines character. It isn't what makes good stories. Who wants to sit and listen to someone tell you a story about them sitting and waiting for things to change, who wants to tell a story like that? I sure don't. When I tell a story I want it to be a good story but Epic stories like the Titanic come from something other than endurance. If those people on the boat would have done nothing but en...

Warring further still...

Knowing that this season in my life is where it should be is probably easier to accept, than for me to accept the truths of what God Himself has spoken to me about the future. I will tell you that what I am walking through is difficult and hard, but what God has spoken to me is even harder. Not because it will be painful, although I am sure it will be at times, but because of the reality and gravity of what it is. I am in a season of prepping, I believe, in my life for the next season of living out what I know God has said. He has given me direction in many areas of my life and yet I am in this waiting game. Tonight I was reminded that as Jesus had the cross before Him, those hours in the garden right before were necessary. He needed to go and seek the face of His Father. He needed to go further still. (Matt. 26:38-39) He wrestled with the dread for the task He was about to undertake. I know that God isn't asking us to take on all the sins of the world for all the ages ever to be, ...

1 Thes. 5:16-18

"Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." 1 Thes. 5:16-18 NIV How simple are these three verses and yet we think that there is so much more we need to do, for us to be in God's will. We take them in and let them out so easily. As if God CAN'T want something so simple, He is a BIG God and so He MUST want something BIG. This is a lie. We run around in circles trying to figure out the will of God and yet we can't seem to find it because we are looking in the WRONG direction. We hear God, We MOVE, and then leave God in the dust because He made a turn and we didn't hear him because we didn't STOP and ask. God doesn't change, His plans for us don't change, YET we seem to think that He is the one that changes when we head in the wrong direction. We blame Him for ditching us and not telling us when to move, when REALLY it is us who didn't stop and ask for a new direction....
