Because of Who You Are

Who am I

That the Lord of all the earth

Would care to know my name

Would care to feel my hurt?

Who am I

That the Bright and Morning Star

Would choose to light the way

For my ever wandering heart?

Who am I

That the eyes that see my sin

Would look on me with love

and watch me rise again?

Who am I

The the voice that calmed the sea

Would call out through the rain

And calm the storm in me?

Not because of who I am,

But because of what You’ve done.

Not because of what I’ve done,

But because of Who You are.

“I am a flower quickly fading.

Here today and gone tomorrow.

A wave tossed in the ocean.

A vapor in the wind.

Still You

Hear me when I’m calling

Lord, You catch me when I’m falling

And You’ve told me who I am

I am Yours… I am Yours.”

“Who Am I?”- lyrics by Mark Hall; song by Casting Crowns

My Song

“The LORD is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation.” – Psalm 118:14

God’s Love is Not Reckless

“Reckless Love”Ā  by Bethel music, draws you in with it’s pleasant melody and soothing lyrics, and has become very popular song, but…

ā¤ļø

The Love of God is Not reckless

Here’s the definition:

reckā€¢lessĀ 

(describingĀ a person or their actions) as being without thinking or caring about the consequences of an action. as in “reckless driving”

synonyms: rash, careless, thoughtless, heedless, unheeding, hasty, impetuous, impulsive, daredevil, devil-may-care, irresponsible, ill-advised, injudicious, imprudent, unwise, ill-considered, etc.

This is not what the scriptures tell us about the love of God.

God’s love is caring;

“God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,”

God’s love is thoughtful;

“So that whosoever believes in Him should not perish,”

God’s love is considerate,

“But have everlasting life.”

He laid down His life for us, not recklessly, but counting andĀ knowing the cost.

 

 

 

 

 

 

God of All My Days

In my worry, God
You are my stillness
In my searching,
God You are the answer
In my blindness, God
You are my vision
In my bondage, God
You are my freedom
In my weakness, God
You are my power
You’re the God of all my days.
Each step I take
You’ve made a way
And I will give you all my praise
My seasons change
You stay the same
You’re the God of all my days

Lyrics- John Mark Hall and Jason Ingram

Bless the Lord O My Soul

“Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me,Ā blessĀ his holy name.

Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;Who healeth all thy diseases;

Who redeems thy life from destruction;

Ā  Ā Who crowns thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

Who satisfies thy mouth with goodĀ things; so thatĀ thy youth is renewed like the eagle’s.”

“Bless the Lord O my soul. “

Psalm 103:1-5, 22
