Revelation of Love

It amazes me how much the revelation of love frees and continually opens my eyes. Each day I am able to see more and more how God formed our hearts to fit into His hands, and how every desire I have, stems from the need of Him in my life. Including all of my insecurity, and selfish ambition. My entire being of humanity cries out for the redeeming grace of our Savior.

We are nothing without Him.

Those whos hearts are hard to the Truth, lack the very source of life that completes them. Instead they toil in their sinful ways, looking for any means to satisfy their own ambition. Filling the void of their true identity, that can only be found in Christ. For it is In Him, Through Him and For Him we were formed.

The revelation of Love is continually relying on Gods Grace and allowing His spirit to consistently renew you.

It is knowing that God takes delight in us. (of all things)
It is the flame that should fuel us to strip ourselves of our sinfull desires.
It is the realization of the reason for our creation.
It is the standard in which we should walk.
It is the breath of life we must have to sustain our being.
It is all we need.

broken pottery

Man (the species not gender) is futile.
Our hearts can only muster a faint amount of strength on our own..

We search constantly for amusement or fulfillment in order to pass our time..
Yet when all things fade away..  we are left bare and depleted.
Its easy to be disillusioned, by the temporary..
People have spent forever, searching for ways to mask the pain of humanity..

So often I find myself.. pushing, looking, wanting, trying, doing, and failing…
I am easily reminded of my feebleness .. my value lacks the luster of a shiny new coin..
I am tainted, I am bruised, I am broken, I am weak, I am wrong…

Yet in my weakness, I find strength…
A solemn surrender consumes my inner being..
My lack is met with His grace..
As His light burst thru the cracks of my broken pot..
