My Hearts Cry for ...

I am reading a book that I got from Pastor Keith, It is called, "My Hearts Cry" its written by Anne Graham Lotz, the Daughter of Billy Graham. This book is fabulous... I decided to place a few of the lists from the book on here as some inspriation for anyone who reads them.
He forgives and He forgets
He creates and He clenses
He restores and He Rebuilds
He heals and He helps
He reconciles and He redeems
He comforts and He carries
He Lifts and He loves...

He is the God of...
the second chance,
the fat chance
the slim chance
the no chance...



Keep on praising Him
He discharges debtors,
He delivers the captives
He defends the feeble
He serves the unfortunate
He regards the aged
He rewards the diligent
He beautifies the meek

AND KEEP ON PRAISING HIM
HE GUARDS THE YOUNG
HE SEEKS THE STRAY
HE FINDS THE LOST
HE GUIDES THE FAITHFUL
HE RIGHTS THE WRONGED
HE AVENGES THE ABUSED
HE DEFENDS THE WEAK
HE COMFORTS THE OPPRESSED
HE WELCOMES THE PRODIGAL
HE HEALS THE SICK
HE CLEANSED THE DIRTY
HE BEAUTIFIES THE BARREN
HE RESTORES THE FAILURE
HE BLESSES THE POOR
HE FILLS THE EMPTY
HE CLOTHES THE NAKED
HE SATISFIES THE HUNGRY
HE ELEVATES THE HUMBLE
HE FORGIVES THE SINNER
HE RAISE THE DEAD!!!!!!!

Entering in Worship



Walk in to any church on any given Sunday you will find Worship. What is worship to be exact. Worship I believe that worship is our extravagant, radical, emotional response to the extravagant, radical, emotional love and grace of God. (thanks Shaun for teaching me that).

Now that you have an idea of what worship is defined as, what is worship to you personally. For me it is singing as loud as my heart desires, my time to communicate with Abba Daddy, meet Him in that sacred place where it it Him and I dancing as one, like a daughter dancing on her dad's shoes at a wedding. No one can take that from me when I am in that place.

Believe me the enemy tries to cut in with his cunning deceptions of bringing the tasks of the day to you mind, but allowing the enemy to win accomplishes nothing for you and will allow him to gain a much stronger foot hold than he had initially. Allow your grip on "Daddy's" hand to be solid. with your feet upon his and looking into His face. He is all you see. Who cares who is watching.

Look at Matt Redman’s Lyrics to Undignified

I will dance I will sing to be mad for my king
nothing lord is hindering the passion in my soul
I will dance I will sing to be mad for my king
nothing lord is hindering the passion in my soul

and ill become even more undignified than this
(some would say its foolishness but)
ill become even more undignified than this

I will dance I will sing to be mad for my king
nothing lord is hindering the passion in my soul
I will dance I will sing to be mad for my king

Nothing lord is hindering the passion in my soul
