"All of us have the devine spark within us and we so desperately need the breath of God to bring us to life and light. Jesus wants to set the church on fire so the world can warm themselves around us and find light and safety. We are here on earth to be a home and a refuge for the lost and broken. But first we must learn the art of togetherness and celebration. To welcome people into the party of true freedom of finding Jesus we must first be students of that very way of life. We need to learn to celebrate. We need to choose His joy."
"You are beautiful in all of Your ways.
You are colorful in the way that You save me...
In the way that You give me life."
The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life. (Job 33:4 NIV)
"Take a moment to remember who God is and who I am.
There You go lifting my load again.
No longer am I held by the yoke of this world.
Come upon you the yoke of Jesus.
His yoke is easy and His burden is so light!
Your love carries me out of valleys and the darkest places."

According to a random website, with 26 letters in the English alphabet, there are 456,976 different 4 letter word combinations. 1 of my favourite 4 letter words is yoke. Jesus says in Matthew 11, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you. Let Me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. (Matthew 11:28, 29 NLT)
Jesus is sooOo0 colourful. Over the last few weeks Jesus renewed, refreshed, revived and healed parts of my heart. Thank You Jesus that I am in a constant state of brokenness so that I will aaaAlways need You more.
I looooOve that Jesus displays His creativity in and through us. Duh! He created US :) We are chosen Sons and Daughters. God wrote our stories with His divine breath..
It's so beautiful when YOU allow Jesus to teach you and mold you. In Scripture one of the people visiting Job says: "I am the same as you in God’s sight; I too am a piece of clay," (Job 33:6 NIV) and in Isaiah we read: "Yet You, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, You are the Potter; we are all the work of Your hand." (Isaiah 64:8 NIV)
I see Jesus colouring my story for me this year. He is bringing in splendid and awe-struck colour where there has only been grey-ness for such a long time. He will do it ALL when we continue to say YES!
God's faithfullness,
is always MORE,
It is beyond our understanding.
It is for us and it is colourful.
"You went out to rescue Your chosen people, to save Your anointed ones." (Habbakuk 3)
God is telling the ultimate story, and we part of it.
(i didn't forget about love, which is another 4 letter word.. Just in case you wondered) :)
