FYI: Posts will be sparse around here until I replace my laptop.... Coming back to work after Christmas break apparently was too hard and it quit on me!

So show me what it means
What it means
To take up my cross
And count it all as lost
All for the sake
Of knowing You
To love my enemies
And care for those in need
Show me what it means
To follow You
A quote.
"One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime." — Elizabeth Elliot
Convict \kən-ˈvikt\
-verb
1: to find or prove to be guilty
2: to convince of error or sinfulness
This article by Leslie Ludy. Go [here] and then skip to page 8 and read. Now.
Then come back and tell me if it was convicting to you too. I'm serious, go read that before you read any more here.
I'm so terribly guilty. Especially because I know in my head that I need to change yet when it comes to my life, nothing is changing. *sigh*
If you found that convicting, maybe you'll also find these encouraging like I did.
"No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it."
- 1 Corinthians 10:13
There is a way out. I can overcome this temptation. I won't be tempted beyond what I can stand up under. God is faithful!
Only Yours
by Meredith Andrews
Undivided, strip everything else away,
Burn the idols, the things in my life that have replaced You,
I lay my life down here on Your alter,
Empty my hands of all I've been holding back
Take everything I have, only to be Yours, Lord, Yours Lord, take it from my hands until I'm holding on to only You.
Captivated, You've stolen my heart away,
I've been liberated, the chains of this world forever broken, You laid Your life down,
Now I surrender, lifting my hands,
I'm holding nothing back
So take everything I have, only to be Yours, Lord, Yours Lord, take it from my hands until I'm holding on to only You.
For every need I want is found in You,
every breath in me a gift from You,
I have nothing here apart from You,
I am Yours Lord, only Yours
Take everything I have, only to be Yours, Lord, Yours Lord, take it from my hands until I'm holding on to only You.
Take everything I have, only to be Yours, Lord, Yours Lord, take it from my hands until I'm holding on to only You.
What is convicting to you? You don't have to share, just think about it and then don't neglect to act on it.
