I am lovesick
I want more of You, Jesus
I'm tied down by these obligations, thoughts, restraints. Set me free, so that I can see You more.
Psalm 27:4
One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the LORD And to meditate in His temple.
Man, let that be the reflection of my life. Let my life come down to one thing, may I gaze upon YOUR beauty oh Lord. I'm addicted, it's better than anything. The reaffirming love He has for me. I fail, You know my heart and deepest desires, yet You love me the same. This is the very reason I am the way I am. I know I don't live up to Your standards, Jesus, yet You still love and forgive me. How can I not walk in freedom and do the same and give mercy like Jesus did. This is why I'm so nice and compassionate. I try to give freely, as I've received freely. It's because of what Jesus did for me. Nothing else. I don't live for myself. I live for Him.
God's so good. The last week has been crazy. Call me if you want to hear about it
Baptisms, Open-airing, Worship, House of Prayer, Tongues, too crazy. He is good

Thank You Jesus
This song has been stuck in my head for a while.
Amazed - Desperation Band
Lord, I am AMAZED by You. Thank You so much for lifting the cross. We worship a living God who ressurected, not a dead one. All glory, praise and honor go to You.
I had my first ever seeker bible study with Anita's friend Raymond, Anita, and Jason (my roommate). Man, Raymond is so close to repenting and accepting Jesus. The questions he was coming up with weren't argumentative, but came from a heart that really wanted to know truth. Man, the questions he was coming up with were crazy. The holy spirit imparts wisdom on everyone and I do believe that it's not through my own knowledge, revelation, or wisdom that people see God, but rather it's the Spirit that speaks through me and uses the Bible to speak to people, Christian or non-christian.
We went over 1 John with Raymond, the verse that sticks out is this.
1 John 1:9
9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
Our God is faithful and just when we repent and turn away from our sins. He WILL purify us and make us righteous in His sight. Jesus's death on the cross was the atoning sacrifice that cleanses us from our sin and allows us fellowship with the Father. This is the message of the weekend, of Good Friday, and Good Easter:
We were dead in our sin with no hope or life, but God provided us a way to Him, through Jesus Christ, his only son, who died on the cross on our behalf in love and mercy.
Will you believe?
