Such an overload...maybe I'll sleep tonight and things shall be washed away.

"If mercy fall upon the broken and the poor
dear Father I will see You there on distant shores."

Wow.

For once I'm actually speechless...

Good job Madam Muse.

But aren't you supposed to give me words instead of stealing them all away with such a small gesture?
The finite is pain laced as the eternal looks on.
I hate the feelings of irrelevancy.
I don't know what hit me when it hit me...but it did.
Now things can't be the same ever again.
I want my lips purified so I can speak and my soul washed so I may fly free.
I'm so grateful to feel any sort of love...any sort of connection anymore....thank you Father for putting these people in my path...even when I'm scared, afraid, terrified of making any decision...You never cease to pour on grace.

Take my life, take my soul, take these hands, take these feet, take my words and these lips...give them a holy kiss and let me serve You again.

Show me where to go and I will go.

I love You so freaking much, I can never cease to.
Help me to walk through this door.
Be my vision and strength.
Help me to give out twice the grace You give to me so freely.

My Father, my Love.
My Jesus.
Thank You.

"Live High" - Jason Mraz

"They won't see the fire you have lit inside of me.
They look up to the stars and wonder where you might be.
They look up
Without realizing they're standing in the palm of your hand.
I can't explain or understand.
I just love you.

It's common knowledge that; you've been dead for a while.
It's well known that the cross is only a burden with pains and trials.
But thinking how come my shoes are so light,
how come I can walk for miles?
And still, just love you?

So I think I'll stay, caught up in silent prayer,
cause I believe in silence.
Our hearts speak the same words.
So why don't we just walk along the shoreline with our silent song?
Cause I believe in silence.
Our hearts speak the same words, the same words."

Quote of the Day - Part Two:

"Agape doesn't love somebody because they're worthy.

Agape makes them worthy by the strength and power of its love.

Agape doesn't love somebody because they're beautiful.

Agape loves in such a way that it makes them beautiful."

Quote of the Day:

"If the gospel isn't good news for everybody, then it isn't good news for anybody. And this is because the most powerful things happen when the church surrenders its desire to convert people and convince them to join. It is when the church gives itself away in radical acts of service and compassion, expecting nothing in return, that the way of Jesus is most vividly put on display. To do this, the church must stop thinking about everybody primarily in categories of in or out, saved or not, believer or nonbeliever. Besides the fact that these terms are offensive to those who are the "un" and "non", they work against Jesus' teachings about how we are to treat each other. Jesus commanded us to love our neighbor, and our neighbor can be anybody. We are all created in the image of God, and we are all sacred, valuable creations of God. Everybody matters. To treat people differently based on who believes what is to fail to respect the image of God in everyone. As the book of James says, "God shows no favoritism." So we don't either."
