Wholeheartedly

'I will place no value on anything I have or possess, except in its relationship to the kingdom of God.'
~ David Livingstone ~

I have come to a point of deep reflection in my life and realise the Holy Spirit working... I have been questioning my values and goals in life in relationship to what God would have me do. Is my heart and life wholeheartedly serving Him?

David Livingstone lived and died for something! I also desire to do the same... to bring Honor and Glory to God each step of the way, each and everyday...

Please pray for me and God's leading in my life. May there be a day, that my heart is buried in the place where God has called me to serve Him with all my heart, soul and life.

Friendship & Emotion

The amazing gift of friendship is infinitely rare to find in this crazy world that we live in. As we travel along life's journey, we come across people who make us laugh or cry, smile or frown, hot or cold even love and hate...

I have found that God's sweet love is shown in each of these emotions that is compelled from our inner soul, whether it be on impulse or carefully considered, that distinct emotion of loving or hating, laughing or crying and smiling or frowning can bring either so much joy or sadness in that instance that it is shown...

By feeling these sorts of emotions, I experience God's love for me. Knowing that the gift of life He has bestowed on me, allows me to express my heart and soul even in the avenue of an emotion.
It is my utmost desire that one day I can share a portion or even more of my life to those that yearn to know the maker and giver of life...

For I have learned that in my moments of utter despair and great heights of happiness, my Lord has been my constant friend and companion. To Him, I give all the glory. For His Grace is so constantly Amazing each and every day!

For memory has painted this perfect day
With colors that never fade,
And we find at the end of a perfect day
The soul of a friend we've made.

Every Day I'm Amazed

In God's heart there's a place that I was made to fill
I find amazing grace when I'm found within His Will
And He's reserved a sacred place where we can spend the day
And He's waiting there for me, Inviting me to stay

And every day I'm amazed that God would spend the day with me
I'm overwhelmed by His ways that He could feel such love for me
To Him I'm worth saving and my heart is craving
To know Him in His righteousness and understand His ways
Every day in every way I'm amazed

In my heart there's a place that only God can fill
He covers my disgrace with the blood that Jesus spilled
And He invites me to place where we can spend the day
And He's waiting there for me, Inviting me to stay

And every day I'm amazed that God would spend the day with me
I'm overwhelmed by His ways that He could feel such love for me
To Him I'm worth saving and my heart is craving
To know Him in His righteousness and understand His ways
Every day in every way I'm amazed
