Joyfully I will sing a new song, for you are good. Woe to me if I should cease to praise you. Your goodness over flows my heart! You are good Father, no part of me deserves to experience your great love. How could I come to you but a dirty cloth? How should I cleanse myself??
Father you promise you will cleanse me.  What a relief to me to not have to rely on myself. I fail.. Completely and totally but you? NEVER. Your goodness soothes the depths of my soul and your presence gives me strength to push through the chains of life. My heart was broken my soul was empty until your stepped in. After my ears understood your words to give my empty soul over to you so you could fill it I was finally able to rejoice. I never knew such love! Holy holy is your name forever and ever amen! Let it be that your name be proclaimed unto the nations. Your son’s blood cleansed the dirt from my depths and your hand brought me from the child of wrath I was. How can It be that this love exists? Oh but without you It could not. Tears fall from my eyes as I recall your grace. When I stepped on your marked hands and feet and joined in the evil of the world. You saw to me I am your beloved, your child. What love is this? I have never known such mercy; I have never known such peace. This life is yours. Completely yours.

Have you ever taken the time to journal? I don’t usually it isn’t quite my thing but when the spirit talks to you, you must! Obedience that isn’t immediate is disobedient!  Now how can we fix this if it isn’t our thing? Simple. Father gives us this thing called focus. We focus on many other things in life even when they aren’t our “thing”. I mean seriously who’s “thing” is school? Not mine! Through focusing I got through high school. Now sometimes just doing something a few times can get your into a habit. I believe that this is a good habit. I hope you can focus on sitting down every now and then and just pouring out your heart to Father. You may find it easier than speaking! I do! Also by writing down our love for Father we have the opportunity to go back and read it later for a little inspiration! Father is cool like that don’t you agree?  I seriously can’t say or write the depths of his love. His love is an ocean that I can never find the bottom of! Find peace in his love. Write it, sing it, speak it, and proclaim it! I also encourage you to get in to the word because it is literally our shield. I find myself retreating back to conquered sin when I haven’t read in a while! Through reading Father has shown me ways to avoid some of my most persistent sin! He is good. So pick up your shield! Read it and enjoy it. I mean seriously the creator of the entire universe left this for us. Why wouldn’t we read it?? Also I will be going out today possibly with my native neighbors. They speak good English and I know Father has a plan orchestrated for this event. We must remember, I may tell them the good news; they may accept it, but Father GAVE THE GROWTH. He did the growing not any of us. We are merely tools, jars of clay counted worthy of helping. He doesn’t need our help but he does love when we help.  1 Corinthians 3:6-8

  1. We do so often lose focus of the prize that is worthy of running the race and how merciful He is to continually carry us and draw us near to Him. Thanks Father for speaking to me through you once again and praise to Him for allowing your heart be to so open and willing and obedient. You are an inspiration, beautiful inside and out, the best niece I could ask for and an amazing friend. I love you more than you will ever know. Keep that focus! Remember His ways, His seeds and His results in His time. I lift you up each day and your team as well. Much love from unc b, sister, brother and me!!!!
