Living under open heaven

Exodus 14  The Story and Song of Salvation 14  1-2  God  spoke to Moses: “Tell the Israelites to turn around and make camp at Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea. Camp on the shore of the sea opposite Baal Zephon. 3-4  “Pharaoh will think, ‘The Israelites are lost; they’re confused. The wilderness has closed in on them.’ Then I’ll make Pharaoh’s heart stubborn again and he’ll chase after them. And I’ll use Pharaoh and his army to put my Glory on display. Then the Egyptians will realize that I am  God .” And that’s what happened. 13  Moses spoke to the people: “Don’t be afraid. Stand firm and watch  God  do his work of salvation for you today. Take a good look at the Egyptians today for you’re never going to see them again. 14  God  will fight the battle for you.      And you? You keep your mouths shut!” 19-20  The angel of  G od that had been leading the camp of Israel now shifted ...

Longing for the day when I see you face to face. Being with you forever, in New Jerusalem. "God’s home is now with his people. He will live with them, and they will be his own. Yes, God will make his home among his people.  He will wipe all tears from their eyes, and there will be no more death, suffering, crying, or pain. These things of the past are gone forever.  The streets of the city were made of pure gold, clear as crystal." I can only imagine What it would be like When I walk by your side I can only imagine What my eyes would see When your face is before me I can only imagine Surrounded by your glory What will my heart feel Will I dance for you Jesus Or in awe of You be still Will I stand in your presence To my knees will I fall Will I sing hallelujah Will I be able to speak at all I can only imagine When that day comes When I find myself Standing in the Son I can only imagine When all I will do Is forever, forever worship you I can only imagine I ...

The problem of choosing to love again is that the choice to love means living under the constant threat of further loss. but the problem of choosing not to love is that the choice to turn from love means imperiling to the soul; for the soul thrives in an environment of love.  Soul-full people love; soul-less people do not. If people want their souls to grow through loss, whatever the loss is, they must eventually decide to love even more deeply than they did before, they must respond to the loss by embracing love with renewed faith and commitment.  There is an ominous dimension to love, especially after a loss. If loss increases our capacity for love, then an increased capacity for love will only make us feel greater sorrow when suffering strikes again, there is no simple solution to this dilemma.  Choosing to withdraw from people and to protect the self diminishes the soul; choosing to love even more deeply than before puts us at risk of getting hurt, for the choi...

Lately, I've been winning battles left and right But even winners can get wounded in the fight People say that I'm amazing I'm strong beyond my years But they don't see inside of me I'm hiding all the tears They don't know that I come running home when I fall down. They don't know who picks me up when no one is around I drop my sword and cry for just a while 'Coz deep inside this armor The warrior is a child Unafraid because His arrow is the best But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest People say that I'm amazing I never face retreat, oh no But they don't see the enemies That lay me at His feet They don't know that I come running home when I fall down. They don't know who picks me up when no one is around I drop my sword and cry for just a while 'Coz deep inside this armor The warrior is a child

“You’re blessed when you’re at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule. “You’re blessed when you feel you’ve lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you. “You’re blessed when you’re content with just who you are—no more, no less. That’s the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can’t be bought. “You’re blessed when you care. At the moment of being ‘care-full,’ you find yourselves cared for. “You’re blessed when you get your inside world—your mind and heart—put right. Then you can see God in the outside world. “You’re blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That’s when you discover who you really are, and your place in God’s family.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭5:3-5, 7-9‬ ‭MSG‬‬ “In a word, what I’m saying is, Grow up. You’re kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives...
