Joy

`You have made known to me the path of life; 

You will fill me with joy in Your presence, 

with eternal pleasures at Your right hand'

Psalm 16:11

NIV

Contentment

    

    

    

 

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,

When sorrows, like sea billows roll;

Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,

It is well, it is well, with my soul

~It Is Well With My Soul~

Horatio Spafford

Willing

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,

"Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?

And I said, "Here I am, Lord, Send me!"

Isaiah 6:8

Shadowfeet

Brooke Fraser

Walking stumbling, on these shadow feet

towards home, a land that I've never seen

I am changing; less and less asleep

made of different stuff, than when I began

And I have sensed it all along

Fast approaching is the day

When the world is falling out from under me

I'll be found in You, still standing

When the sky rolls up

and mountains fall on their knees 

when time and space are through 

I'll be found in You 

There's distraction buzzing in my head

saying `in the shadows, it's easier to stay'

But I've heard rumours, of true realities 

whispers of a well lit way

When the world is falling out from under me

I'll be found in You, still standing

When the sky rolls up

and mountains fall on their knees 

when time and space are through

I'll be found in You

You make all things new

You make all things new!!

Purpose

"TODAY IS YOUR BEST DAY BECAUSE OF...

HIS PREPARATION

`And, yet O Lord, you are our father

We are the clay, and you are the potter.

We all are formed by your hand'

Isaiah 64:8

`God is forming you for his

purposes and molding you as a vessel 
fit for the Masters use.

The vessel He is shaping you into 
will have no errors in its design.

Do not think that your vessel needs to be a certain
 shape or size to be significant.

God may shape you into a tiny vessel that 
can easily be used to pour oil into the wounds

of others; 
He may shape you as a candle and place you
in a dark place to shine for him.
He may shape you as a cup 
to bring living water to a thirsty soul;

He may shape you into a handheld basin that 
can humbly be used to wash a disciple's feet..."

Trust in the Lord with all your heart;

do not depend on your own understanding.

Seek his will in all you do,

and he will show you which path to take.
