Hello everyone! Hope you are all having a good week.
Last night was youth group for me. But for me it wasn't just a normal youth group night. God really, and powerfully, spoke to me that night. Opened my eyes to what needs to change in my life. Worship was really good, a time to just meditate on my powerful God and to praise His beautiful name.
But even more, the sermon was powerful.
At Refuge (our youth group is called "Refuge" btw) we watched this sermon on Luke 15, the prodigal son. The speaker spoke on how BOTH sons are lost. Both the wagering son, AND the religious son. Both are lost and need help.
And we also can be one, or the other. We cannot earn God's love.
In away, freaking out & going: "OH! I haven't read my Bible in two days! I'm so sinful! God will never love me now!" And then when we do read God's Word we go "Ah!Check that off! See how good I am everyone?! Now I'm a good christian!" Right there, we are kinda creating an idol of the "doings". We spend all our time thinking on how we are good Christians because we just read the Bible instead of just loving Jesus and having a true relationship with Him. We try so hard to earn God's love. Reading our Bible is a thing we can just check that off the list! A way to get to Heaven. We think when we do read our Bible that's how we are getting to Heaven. But we really don't often enough look at our relationship with God. Instead just do the "doings".
We are standing so close to God but we are so far away from Him. Because we are just thinking about what we are DOING.
Wow, right?! My youth pastor just said it all! Totally amazed me. And to be honest I am that, right there, what he said. I try so hard to earn God's love by being a doer. When all Jesus really wants is a relationship with me. He just wants me to really love Him.
Now, I am NOT saying you shouldn't read your Bible from now on. NO! Reading the Bible is away to understand our great God better. Away to grow in Him. To learn His great truths! Just don't make it a project. A thing to check off the list...
"God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with Him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practise the truth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin."

Hey Friends!
Good afternoon! Hope all my blogging friends are doing well! :D
This week God has been giving me the opportunity to write dozens of more songs. Now, I didn't come on here at all to brag about myself! That would just be weird and plain boring to talk about right?! Well, why I would like to share with you that I have written songs so I can brag about my God ;) Now, I know there isn't a part in me that could write music...But somehow God has gifted me and has been speaking through me and has been giving the tune to play and write music! It is incredible and quite a miracle in itself!
This past week and this week, God has given me a tune to play. And has given me words to put to my songs! I am in awe of His amazingness! I know I wouldn't be able to write music if it wasn't for Jesus Christ. I just ask God for help on what to do for a next song, that will give ALL the glory to Him and that no one will even think of me in it, and He blesses me with amazing music! I mean, it is amazing working along side my King! Wow! It's like, He is the Author and i am His little writings-person. When He wants me to make a song He gives me the perfect tune and the most powerful words! Powerful eh? It awes me to work along side my God! And to do what He wants with my life.
My latest song is called: "The Creator". Here is the lyrics:
--Verse 1--
"We come, to give You praise. We lift one voice in song.
For You are all we need, in this world of brokenness!"
--Chorus--
"You are holy, God Almighty, You are worthy of praise.
You are power, the Creator, setting our hearts on You."
--Verse 2--
"You are, the reason why we are living on this earth.
So we come to give You praise. You are the King of kings!"
--Chorus--
"You are Holy, God Almighty, You are worthy of all praise.
You are power, the Creator, setting our hearts on You."
--Bridge--
"You set our hearts on You, the Creator. God of ages rain.
You set our hearts on You, the Creator. God of ages rain."
--Chorus--
"You are Holy, God Almighty, You are worthy of praise.
You are power, the Creator, setting our hearts on You."
THE END.
So there you have it! Wow, right?! Give God the Creator the glory! Isn't our God amazing?! He gave me these words in like ten minutes! It was amazing! I love being able to get out of the way for His plan and just let Him work in, and through me. I use to pray and pray and pray for God to work in me. I use to want to be used by Him for His glory soooo bad! But I prayed that He would use me in different ways. But I had no clue He had a plan to use me to write music to give His name glory! He answers prayers, no, not always the way we want and think of them, but He answers them in His perfect and powerful way, in His good time...
God bless.
