I become less... He becomes more.

My life. My wants. My desires. My goals.

Meaningless... if it isn't about God's Glory. Your will be done, oh God. Not my will, but yours. For it's only in your will that I am truly free. Free to live. Free to want. Free to desire. Free to dance.

Tonight, your holy spirit is a radiant candle within my heart. Reading in Hebrews... I'm astounded to think about the heavens, the very stars extinguishing their light- that they too will pass away, but you won't. They may seem eternal, but they are not; You are. You will fold up this heaven and earth like a garment and put out a new one. You have promised me so much Jesus. Help me to live my life in its entirety to your Glory. Guide my steps. Guide my wants. Guide my desires. I submit to you in humble adoration.

Yours.

My God will not be shaken...

Though life can toss me about, though my emotions can be affected by life... God is my rock. He is my ever-present help when I struggle. In my darkest moments his light is at its most radiant. My God will not be shaken. I have joy in the midst of sorrow. I am his. I am loved and nothing can seperate me from his lovingkindness. If I have something to brag about it is only in Christ Jesus, and compared to knowing Him everything else is refuse. He is life. Jesus knows my heart better than I do and it is for that very reason that He is the only that can make it whole. He made it.

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written:
'For your sake we face death all day long;
we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.'
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:35-39

Let this truth settle deep into my bones as I rest tonight. God let me drop my burdens and carry yours because you promise that yours is light. I need you.
