Or in other words: faith.

'Are you, Jeremy, willing to take my cup? Are you willing to take my baptism? Are you willing to go to the depths of my heart where you lose yourself, but find all of who you really are? Where intimacy flows, and to be in a place where you are jealous for me? I am your King, will you be my cupbearer?'

Jesus is taking me deeper and deeper into His heart. It is exciting and in ways I would never have dreamed of. It is scary though because this is when you really start to live, when you die to yourself (Phil 1:21). We have victory in Christ, we just have to walk in it (1 Cor 15:57).

You can define any relationship by the fruit of the relationship:
When we go into deeper into the heart of Christ, the fruits of the Spirit abound. When we go deeper into the heart of Christ, the darkness is is brought to light. When we go deeper into the heart of Christ, the fruits of the flesh are exposed and uprooted.

What does it mean in your relationshp with Christ to die to yourself and take the cup of the Lord?

We need to let God set the standards for all things, not the world. We see the world through our own eyes, lets try to see them through God's eyes and standards.We need to have faith and see how he sees.

Come, follow me.

He said this to the disciples.
It is amazing because he sees their heart: full of pride, fear, worry, and so on. He knows our heart and still desires us.
He looks to me and says: come, follow me.
He sees my heart. The depths of it. Deep calls out to deep.

psalm 91

This is a song version of Psalm 91
It is a song by Aaron Keyes, I hope you can listen to it one day.


V1 Though a thousand may fall at my side
Though the enemy war against me
I will not fear the terror by night
I will hide in the shadow of your wings

I will dwell in the shelter of the Most High God
I will rest in the beauty of your presence
Your faithfulness is a shield and my great reward
I will not be afraid, I will trust in the Lord

V2 You have set me securely on high
You’ve delivered me out of darkness
And when evil surrounds my life
You’ve commanded your angels to guard me

BRIDGE
No weapon formed against me will prosper
No weapon formed against me will prosper
No weapon formed against me will prosper
Says the Lord

New season

So now I am home.

Its nice to see people, to say hello. To greet here and there.

I love my church family.

Next year: It is going to be different.

Simply put: I will be pioneering a new DTS. "Thirst for Life DTS"

Its good. Why? Because its God's.

I say: I am so young!
God says: Don't say that
I say: Its scary!
God says: I am with you, to deliver you
I say: I don't have the experience! (University)
God says: I have given you all the tools you need. Faith is living by Me, not the world. Have faith.

So far, God has really blessed me. He really holds true to His promises.

I am Yours, God. I give up control. I trust you.

Hello

Oh man.
I wish I could show you emotions on this. I wish I could show you feelings on this.

I wish I could communicate to you in a clear way, a way that gives you a picture. To describe the emotions, feelings, and passions that I have.

Sounds like love doesn't it?

You are so good to me, God.

Kim Walker says she doesn't want to talk about Him like he is not in the room. I love knowing He is in the same room as me. Around me and in me.

I hope and pray you are experiencing the goodness and grace of God.

sometimes I like to skip January.

February:

I had a cool revelation. Very simple, but it takes a lot. Its just like marriage. Now, I am no married folk but I have a hint that its very selfless to be married. It is no longer about you. It is about the other spouse now. I am not going to go into to much detail so you can picture it, you can do that yourself, just day dream about marriage and it being about the other person.

Now imagine that we are the Bride of Christ.

What can you do, that is selfless, to show that you just love God. A simple act, of being selfless, that says: "God, I just really love you" or "Man oh man, how I love you!!!!"

Your in a marriage, God has been really good to you, but what can you do back for the love of your life? Its pretty fun to think about. I think it might even be a good way for preparing for marriage, but what do I know? I am not married.

Lord, what can I do today to simply say: I love you.
