Goodness

YHWH is good.
Three words... that are fully true, but quite rarely fully believed.
Think of what would happen if we really believed this.

We would live.

We would trust.
We would leave our cares in His hands.
We would delight in Him,
fully knowing He delights in us.

We would quit worrying about ourselves, and let God take care of us. 
We would start living for Him, not concerned about ourselves.
We would connect with His heart, seeking His heart, not concerned about vain matters.

Yes, Jesus is good.
He is so good.
And we better believe it, for the Bible bleeds the goodness of Jesus!

And oh why stress about us? Why not let Jesus take care of us? Why do we worry and stress and fret, paying regard to the vain idol of disbelief?

"Those who pay regard to vain idols
 forsake their hope of steadfast love." Jonah 2:8

Joy

Sometimes...
I can hardly contain the joy that fills my soul.
Its inexpressible.
Its beautiful.
Its amazing.
Its straight from the throne room of Jesus.
Rivers of life and joy gushing forth from His glorious presence.

Oh how delightful it is to be a kid again,
rollicking through the fields of God's love.
Delighting in His beauty.
Relishing the wonder of His presence.
Delighting in His smile.
Running with Him, hand in hand,
His glorious laughter
The twinkle in His eyes
The unbelievable joy of His presence. 

He is Love.

Humility

The greater our humility, the more we enable ourselves to experience God's glory. 

All I Need

Jesus, 
I used to look to You just for direction and guidance, for blessing and protection. 
Now I need none of those, absolutely none. 
I just need You. 
Your heart, Your face, Your voice, Your presence, You.
