Your life for mine, when I couldn't save myself;

| 26 September 2010. Day Sixty-Four of my faith journey with God. |

Your love for me,
Is wider than the skies, 
You are my shelter,
The God of all wonders,
You are the hero of my life, 


I live for You,
Your warm embrace,
Sets my heart on fire,
You are my Shepherd,
The God of all wonders,
You are the hero of my life,


You died for me,
Your life for mine, 
When I couldn't save myself, 
You bore my pain, my sin, my shame,
Jesus my Lord, my life.

Wow. I really think I should meditate more on the word because from it springs forth rivers of living water and really, when I re-read my notes so that I could send some bite-size stuff to my friends who didn't attend service, I really felt the holy spirit speaking to me and expounding from those notes just because I was meditating on what I had just learnt at service. There's a new thing every time and truly, I feel like I've learnt so much more in the second reading, Then as if to prove a point, I accidentally deleted the whole message before sending. At first, I was really pissed because I spent about an hour on it, but then, I realised that I wasn't going to let that become a move from the devil to prevent me from blessing others with what I've learnt during sermon and the new things I received while meditating on the sermon notes and the verses in it.

So I re-typed the whole thing and sent it again. at first, I was scared that I wouldn't remember some stuff, coz it was really holy spirit inspired moment, but after that, I figured that Daddy God knows what they need and don't need to hear, so whatever comes out will be God-breathed and inspired by the holy spirit to impact them or to encourage them. At the same time, I also got more and more insights as I re-read my notes. I've been meaning to do more feeding on God's word because I usually merely do it on Sunday during service or remember verses now and again, but I think this is something in which we should take an active effort to do daily because His word is life and gives power. Also, meditating on it reminds you of your standing and releases blessings into your life through the consciousness of the grace that He has imparted and also because we learn more and more about our identity in Christ and the things and blessings that have been set apart, consecrated for His beloved children.

Love,
Deborah, [The child whom Jesus loves.]
