** Psalm 139:13-18 **
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!
How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.
This verse just shows me the intensity and love that God displays for us, and wants us to see in ourselves. "We are fearfully and wonderfully made!" What a powerful, encouraging, and uplifting testimony that our Father wishes us to embrace. His works are beyond our intelligence and His power and wonder should be continually praised and shared with others. He never leaves or forsakes us. He delights in us. He wants to give us the desires of our hearts. Just be sure to remember that His desires become greater than any of our desires when we fully accept His power and the Holy Spirit in our hearts and on our lives. Praise Jesus for that!

Break my heart for what breaks Yours
"Break my heart for what breaks yours,
everything I am for Your Kingdom Lord,
show me how to love like YOU have loved ME."
-Hillsong
Joy, unending joy. This is truly what I experience everyday. I cannot explain to you the way the Lord allows me to feel His power and love wrapping around my heart everyday. Sometimes this joy is so overpowering I forget to breath and it is like I am coming up for air from being underwater. It isn't scary though. Oddly, it is comforting.
Joyful.
Exhilarating.
I want more.
These are the only few words that can even begin to unravel the way the Lord has changed my heart and life and what that change has felt and meant to me in the process.
I wish everyone could experience our Father like this. You never want to leave and never want to stop basking in His presence. I pray I never lose this feeling, and especially this desire to seek after our Father with all my heart.
"Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain."
