For grace be our all.

In order for us to understand that which God desires for our lives we must first understand God, once we have an understanding of our guide we will come to the knowledge that He will never tell us where to go but will simply guide us there.

It is only through a complete surrender to grace that we can even hope to change the world.  Change must start with our hearts, those steps we take that allow the creator to settle into our lives are the most important steps we can possibly take.  The fact that God gives us the opportunity to surrender what we call a life to Him is one that has been taken too lightly, how can we have pride when we kill each other?  How can we have pride when children starve to death... How can we?   Yet we let anger and bitterness over take us as if we have some power over God.  Oh how misguided we are!  Only a fool shakes his fist at God, can no one put some sense into him?  Can no one tell him of the overwhelming love that he is throwing away?  Or the wrath that he is collecting for himself?

Let us be the melody of heaven in a world full of white noise, let our actions be that of old: bold, faithful and without doubt.  Rise up and surrender to grace!  Let redemption be our path and hope our shepherd.  Cling onto Christ who is wanting our all, let truth be our lantern in a world that is plummeted in darkness, and let love be that which keeps us moving.  For grace be our all so our all would be full of grace.


"Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading." - Oswald Chambers


We become the song of heaven so that when we get to those gates we shall not be greeted as strangers but rather as someone who is returning home and we can continue the song that we have started on earth.
