It’s not about us. It never was.

What if you never got what you wanted?  Would you still be content?

What if God didn’t create us to be happy, but instead created us for Himself and to be holy?

What if we never achieved much of anything the world says brings worth and peace?  What if we never got what the world says to chase?  What if we had to give up all of our desires?

What if we prayed for His will to be done in our lives instead of our own?  What if He meant what He said about taking up our cross?

We are His church and His bride.

His peace is not in this world.  We were created for much greater and nothing in this world comes close to the life that is to come.

“IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS WITH GOD, AND THE WORD WAS GOD.” – JOHN 1:1

“LET YOUR CONVERSATION BE WITHOUT COVETOUSNESS; AND BE CONTENT WITH SUCH THINGS AS YE HAVE: FOR HE HATH SAID, I WILL NEVER LEAVE THEE, NOR FORSAKE THEE. SO THAT WE MAY BOLDLY SAY, THE LORD IS MY HELPER, AND I WILL NOT FEAR WHAT MAN SHALL DO UNTO ME.” – HEBREWS 13:5-6

“I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?  I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” – Isaiah 43:19

“I’ve had plans shattered and broken and things I have hoped in fall through my hands.
You have plans to redeem and restore me.
You’re behind and before me.

Oh, help me believe.

God, You don’t need me, but somehow You want me.
Oh, how You love me.
Somehow, that frees me to take my hands off of my life and the way it should go.
Oh, God, You don’t need me, but somehow You want me.
Oh, how You love me!
Somehow, that frees me to open my hands up and give You control.

I give You control.

You want me!  Somehow, You want me.

The King of Heaven wants me so this world has lost its grip on me.”
