Your Strength

I find strength when I wait upon You, God,
When I let You into my world,
When I let You do what You want to do,
When I let You be there for my every need...

Then Your strength comes to me.
Your strength is totally different than mine.
My strength tries and tries, works and works, strives and strives,
But it never obtains the desired result.

But You offer Your strength to me...
Your strength is powerful, mighty, tender, and kind.
Your strength changes my way of thinking,
Your strength removes the fear,
Your strength renews hope, and brightens the day,
Your strength raises faith and allows me to trust.
Your strength moves me forward...in peace...in thanksgiving...in victory,
Your strength heals,
Your strength brings the brightness of Your Light and dispels the darkness.

Your Strength,
Supernatural strength,
Strength given from the passion of Your heart of love,
From Your Daddy heart to me, Your child.

Yes, Father, Your strength becomes my song, my song of joy.

Psalms 59:16 "Your strength God, shall be my song of joy, each and every morning.

Glad God

My God is a glad God,
He is not sad or gloomy,
No, He is not full of anxiety or worried about the darkness,
Nor is mourning over the needs on the earth...

My God is a glad God
Because He is the God who is more than able to utterly save, protect, provide, restore...

My God is not offended with the rejection, the turning away, the questions...

No, He is a glad God.
He knows...His plans and purposes have been decreed.
And now He waits...
He waits for a glimpse of a turning heart...

And then He runs...
Runs with joy and gladness to embrace us with His love.
Announcing, "Lets rejoice, have a party, this one of mine has returned!!!

Yes, He is a glad God,
This God who loves first...
This God who loves fully,
He is a glad God!

The Choice

When I make the choice
         to look up, 
         to gaze upon my God,
         to strengthen myself in all that He is,
         to seek direction from the King of Kings and Lord of Lords,
         and allow Him to comfort me in my sorrow, loss, or pain...

It is then that I choose Him.

Even though I do not understand...I choose Him,
And He opens the heavens with His Father's heart,
And gives out of His rich treasures,
Giving me grace for the circumstances of the day,
Strengthening me from the inside out,
Allowing me to see and know His love, His greatness, His goodness.
He goes ahead and prepares the way for victory...

And then He says, "Come and rest!"
"Come and rest in all I am for You.
 Allow Me to reveal My love to you.
 Allow My love to touch, mend, soothe, and heal all your pain, and aches of your loss."

"Allow Me to come into your garden and reveal My love to you."

"I am with you, I am for you,
 We belong to each other!"
