Different....Micah Tyler

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUT4trsrBCw

Luke 17: 33, "Whoever tries to keep their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life will preserve it."

What if we were to wake up every morning, and instead of thinking of our planned out day, we say to God, the Creator of the universe, Who calls each star by name, I can go on and on..... We say to Him, "I wanna be different. I wanna be changed. Till all of me is gone and all that remains, is a fire so bright that the whole world can see, that there is something different in me.
Oh how that would make our heavenly Father so happy. But the same way our children break our hearts, and are disobedient to us, so are we to Him as adults. How can we expect anything more in our own family lives, if God isn't getting what He wants from us who call ourselves His.

We need to ask ourselves, are we speaking of Him to our children, friends, co workers, the way we should? Don't just think that going to church and leaving the responsibility to others will work. God wants us to be His living examples. When was the last time you said grace at the table together? I mean, if you have food, a roof over your head, and a table to eat on, you should be giving thanks EVERYDAY as a family. We can all really take so much for granted.

If it is God's hearts desire for us to follow Him, which it is, then it's time to think different, look different, and be different from the world. Instead of following our way, it's got to be His way. It's the only way that works and lives are blessed. I would rather bow my heart and knees now than keep waiting. Look what God's word says to the churches.

Revelations 2: 7, "Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.....I will give the right to eat from the tree of life IN THE PARADISE OF GOD."
Revelations 3: 16, "because  you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth."  So I ask, are you still on fire for God? Do you think it is important to Him? I sure do. We all need to do a heart check!

Father God, teach us to listen. Give us Your vision on this gift of life. Move our hearts to be set apart for you first. Help us not to remain the same. Set our hearts on fire again. Change us to bless Your life with our worship, and may it spill over on our families and friends. In Jesus Name, Amen.

Beautiful Beyond Discription ( I Stand in AWE) Beth Croft

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=No1MfYkcNuU

I just love this scripture because this is exactly how we should feel about God. IN AWE of His many wonders!!!! Then believers should desire to meet together and fellowship with the common goal of: hearts on fire to make more disciples.

Acts 2: 43 "They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.  Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.  All the believers were together and had everything in common."

If this was the common goal of the church, I mean really have a heart for the unsaved, then God would add to the number daily of those being saved. I didn't say it. His word does. Look at verses 46-47 "Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."

When the Lord took my husband home to be with Him, I made this my promise. To be all about the Kingdom of God. It truly is my hearts passion. Even if I tried I cant change that passion. I'm overwhelmed with my Savior Jesus. He completes me. Nothing else can even compare or compete with this kind of love. It's a love that will never leave you or forsake you. I'm learning not to let my heart be troubled about the things of this world. My time could end in a blink of an eye. At least I know the truth. Jesus overcame this world and so will I. But until that day, I thank God for where He's placed me in this world. I thank Him for the family He picked for me here. I can go on and on. So just like the lyrics of this song: He is beautiful beyond description. To marvelous for words. Too wonderful for comprehension. Like nothing ever seen or heard. Who can grasp His infinite wisdom?Who can fathom the depths of His love? He is beautiful BEYOND description. Majesty enthroned above.

Oh my prayer for all of my family is, if the Holy Spirit of God hasn't gripped their heart to the fullest, I pray He does. I still want more! If you are my family member or friend who doesn't believe, I am praying for you daily.


Much Love
