Living under open heaven

Here I am, Lord, and I'm drowning in your sea of forgetfulness  The chains of yesterday surround me I yearn for peace and rest I don't want to end up where You found me And it echoes in my mind, keeps me awake tonight I know You've cast my sin as far as the east is from the west And I stand before You now as though I've never sinned But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way Jesus, can You show me just how far the east is from the west 'cause I can't bear to see the man I've been come rising up in me again In the arms of Your mercy I find rest 'cause You know just how far the east is from the west From one scarred hand to the other I start the day, the war begins, endless reminding of my sin Time and time again Your truth is drowned out by the storm I'm in Today I feel like I'm just one mistake away from You leaving me this way I know You've washed me white, turned my darkness into light I need Your peac...

Dear child, Come to me because there will be no inch of Condemnation. A place you find yourself dead to sin and any kind of death but rather alive in me. You are alive and you are free. Your past will no longer have any grip upon your life because I died to give you a new life and I desire to give you life and life to the fullest- one that is beyond your wildest imagination.

You will no longer be a Slave to fear but you will cry out abba Father. You are a child of the most high king, heir of God and co-heirs with Christ. I will give you joy i...

You have been, and You will be, You have seen, and You will see. and still You Love me. You hung the stars, and You moved the sea. and still You Know me.

Am I trusting that god himself is who he says he is for me in Jesus? Am I trusting in Him as my all-satisfying treasure? Sanctification; to set apart for particular use in a special purpose set by the designer.  Sanctification always requires God's presence. His presence is more than his "being there" a corollary of his omnipresence. It is his dynamic presence, producing fruit for...
