O Lord my God, you have performed many wonders for us. Your plans for us are too numerous to list. You have no equal. If I tried to recite all your wonderful deeds, I would never come to the end of them.

Psalm 40:5 (via sonofhislove)

Do your best. Trust God for the rest. And rest in Him.

Excerpt

"I learned a long time ago that a promise from God outlasts possessions." - Lisa Bevere (Without Rival)

[joanabranderslima]

I've been thinking a lot about investing my money (the little bit that I have) so that my kids can have something one day, whether it be a house, money, a trust fund, whatever. 

I think it was last night while taking Boyo out for his last wee, a thought popped into my head, “yes you can invest on earth, it will be left behind when you die but also, what you need to invest in first and foremost is the Lord's love onto your kids, this will last forever, through to eternity.” 

So, God, he’s pretty cool. Last night I remembered that I need to finish reading Lisa Bevere's Without A Rival, but I ended up not reading and playing on my phone (lol), anyway. God, he’s resilient, without even thinking about it twice, I picked it up and opened it this evening and I kid you not, 3rd paragraph in, God's like "Yo, remember what 'popped' into your head last night, well here, I'm confirming that that thought was from me." She states this exactly: "The fruit of this promise will accompany your children long after you are gone as well as meet you in heaven." BAM!

Lord, you're so cool, I fall in love with how cool you work. Seriously. 

Thanks for being awesome.

Lesson to self

Stop being so impulsive when emotional.

I’m in love with You, Lord I give You all of my heart There’s no one else before You There’s no one else before You

The ego minimizes sins of the heart and focuses on sins of the flesh.

Because your ego is formed by external stuff—like validation, opinions, job, education—it focuses on eliminating external sins, the ones you can tangibly measure. So, the absence of sexual sins, church attendance, and right theology become the measure of a true Christian.

Jesus seems to address this ridiculous attitude from the beginning (see Matt. 5-7) and somehow I missed it. Jesus knows external sins are shadows of true transformation, and we’re merely reshuffling the deck until we address what’s underneath.

Greed, envy, pride, hatred, prejudice and vanity affect the heart. And, sadly, America not only accepts these sins, but often celebrates them.

“The question is not how much of my money I give to God, but rather how much of God’s money I keep for myself.”

'Cause I'm sick of losing soulmates, so where do we begin I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me So how do we win? Yeah, I'm sick of losing soulmates, won't be alone again I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me So how do we win?
