A New Freshness

When we begin to second guess people's intentions.
LOOK TO JESUS

When we start to re-think the power of God that we have once know &
trade it in for something less than His All Powerfulness.
LOOK TO GOD

When we've lost our innocence & the world says that's the way it must
be.
TRUST GOD'S RESTORING POWER.

When we live with passion for our King less than a consuming
fire.
ASK GOD TO LIGHT OUR HEARTS AGAIN.

When He reigns in our hearts & rules over our lives.
LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY.

Zechariah 7:9 - "This is what the Lord Almighty says: Judge fairly and honestly, and show mercy and kindness to one another."


In my heart something is happening. A freshness is coming. Honestly for far to long I have been cynical of both God & people. And i hunger once more for the innocence I've known. A heart that doesn't judge or second guess. But trusts and believes!

So I'm look to God's heart! Every time I sin. Every time I repent. I find forgiveness. God doesn't second guess my intentions. Or question my prior motives in my act of sin. Simply, He embraces me. My faults cease to matter anymore.

I'M PRAYING FOR THIS IN MY LIFE.

I don't know anyone who can forgive because they in themselves have the power. Even have of themselves a kind of love that could overlook fault. But I do know people who can do this. So what is the answer to this tension. The answer is - God's love. It is only God's love that can cause this. His Amazing love in us that can produces forgiveness.

And once more I want this to be!

So I'm resolving to let Him change me - my thinking & my heart.
