| Confusion abounds, and eats me inside I lose my breath, when I catch her eyes The hint of a smile, creeps into place Hypnotically set, by that pretty face I let out a sigh, of contented delight Thinking of love, and the chance that I might Catch more than her eyes, maybe her love I want more than everything, to be more than enough My arm brushes hers, it's awkward again My face catches fire, at the touch of her skin I feel all alone, a poor helpless child She crumbles the world, with a hint of her smile Her laugh and her eyes, her love and her scent The way that she talks, all make me content I think and I hope, to Jesus above That I'll get the chance, to be more than enough Alec A. | | |
| Hey guys I just wanted to ask a question I was mulling over in my head
on the way up to Bolivar yesterday. Do we really know what Jesus
did for us? I mean yes we understand it happened but do we
understand to the point where we cry and ache in amazement at Jesus
incomprehensible love? I was listening to that song "Beautiful
Scandalous Night" and God was just pouring out so much to me I was so
overwhelmed. Go on up to the
mountain of mercy, to the crimson perpetual tide / kneel down on the
shore, be thirsty no more, go under and be purified. Mercy
and love. That is what that crimson never ending flow of Jesus
blood represents. He died and His blood is still flowing today
thousands of years later, for my sins. It is flowing so Jesus can
know me and hold me and love me. The first thing that Jesus said
after being beaten and spit on and having nails driven through His
hands was "Dad FORGIVE THEM" (Luke23). "Dad I love them don't be
angry I am willingly spilling my blood so I can hold that soldier in my
arms forever. I am willingly taking on all the darkness of sin so
I can fellowship with Alec forever and ever". But why Jesus . .
.Why? "Because I LOVE YOU". Follow
Christ to the holy mountain, sinners sorry and wrecked by the fall /
cleanse your heart and your soul, in the fountain that flowed, for you
and for me and for all. Jesus bled for every person that
ever walked the face of the earth, drink that thought in for a little
bit, . . . every person! When Jesus prayed in the garden of
Gethsemane He was not all gung ho about what lay ahead. He was
sweating drops of blood! All Man . . . that is what the
Bible tells us that He was, all man and all God. He knew what was
waiting for Him and yet He chose it willingly. He knelt there and
saw me in my most depraved moment of human existence and chose
me. He saw you in your most vile, wicked moment and said "Dad I
take responsibility for that action. Put it on my
shoulders". But why Jesus . . . why? "Because I
want to be with you forever." At
the wonderful tragic mysterious tree / on that beautiful scandalous
night you and me / were atoned by His blood and forever washed white /
on that beautiful scandalous night. What a thought, the
night of all nights in the history of man the one day that brought the
most grief to the heart of God is also the day of our
deliverance. The one day we should treasure over every other
day. When Jesus hung on the cross He cried out "Eloi,
Eloi lama sabachthani?". Which means "My God My God why
hast thou forsaken me?" Jesus took on all of OUR sin and because
of your sin and my sin He looked so vile that God left Him. .
. He left Him. That is stomach turning in my mind to think that
Jesus of all the horrible things He went through was willing
to be forsaken by His Father, the Almighty God and yet we cannot
forsake our own little sin problems and idols. Our girlfriends
and guyfriends and ipods and cars and status mean more to us than
Jesus. But flip that around, what means more to Jesus than us?
NOTHING!! Absolutley Nothing?! I am not talking about
this because I have mastered it at all. Actually this is what God
is teaching me right now, He is asking the question "what on earth
is as beautiful as Me?" Do you know the answer, do you really
believe it with all you heart? On
the hillside you will be delivered, at the foot of the cross justified
/ and your spirit restored, by the river that poured, from our blessed
savior's side. The cross is what we have to cling to and
that is all we need. You and I and everyone on the earth are made
new every day by the blood of Jesus. Every Christian's salvation
is eternally secured but just think the next time you decide, oh it is
just a little sin it won't really matter, the crimson perpetual tide is
flowing, . . . do you really want to make Jesus
bleed? DO YOU? God is good and God is love, may He
bless all of you with His mercy and grace. He wants to
so desperatley. Please be in prayer for me that I will grow daily
closer to Jesus and fall more in love with Him. Please pray
specifically for spiritual sensitivity, humility and that I will become
a man characterized by the kindness and love of Jesus. God Bless.
To God's Glory,Alec
Isa. 64:4

| Painting Pictures of Egypt – Sarah Groves I don’t want to leave here
I don’t want to stay
It feels like pinching to me either way
The places I long for the most
Are the places where I’ve been
They are calling after me like a long lost friend
It’s not about losing faith
It’s not about trust
It’s all about comfortable
When you move so much
The place I was wasn’t perfect
But I had found a way to live
It wasn’t milk or honey
But then neither is this
I’ve been painting pictures of Egypt
Leaving out what it lacked
The future seems so hard
And I want to go back
But the places that used to fit me
Cannot hold the things I’ve learned
And those roads closed off to me
While my back was turned
The past is so tangible
I know it by heart
Familiar things are never easy to discard
I was dying for some freedom
But now I hesitate to go
Caught between the promise
And the things I know
If it comes too quick
I may not recognize it
Is that the reason behind all this time and sand?
If it comes too quick
I may not appreciate it
Is that the reason behind all this time and sand?

| Isaiah 64:4 "For since the begining of the world men have not heard, nor percieved by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him". What a promise God makes to every single christian. No one absolutley no one, from Adam up till now has any idea of the unspeakable joy and fellowship that awaits anyone who seeks God. Why then is it that not one christian seems to be so overwhelmingly happy that it is contagious? Because no one truly "waits" for God, no one is wholly surrendered to Him. We all like to sit around and are half committed to God but the other half of us has our eye on that one special person or is listening to that one band or is pursing that degree to get that awesome job. No one lays it ALL on the altar. None of those desires are bad but when they are not totally given up to God then they are sinful. God wants to bless us with a mate or the job that will make us happy. But we can never give everything up to Him so we maybe get the girl or are succesful from man's perspective but we are never truly fulfilled. Why? Because while we like to think we are surrendered to Christ's will for our lives deep down we each have those few precious things that we have not allowed the knife to be raised upon. The secret overwhelming joy that God promises us in Isaiah doesn't come from earthly things or succeses. It comes from knowning Jesus and trusting Him in a way that no one understands or can even realize until all has been released and you fall into the arms of Jesus. Then comes the joy of His love and His wisdom and His power. Then once your heart is wholly His, He will bring along the "right" earthly blessings. God loves to bless His children and often blesses people in spite of themselves. But He promises us in the Word breathed from His lips that NO ONE can truly grasp the joy of fellowship with Him until; they have experienced it personally. Give It Up, lay it ALL on the altar.
