Let go and unfold

Not that I don't get feelings like this everyday, but today I am completely overwhelmed with the knowledge of how freaking awesome and amazing my God is!

There is nothing He can't do! He is the creator of everything around us, from nature and our immortal souls, to our very free will.

That's right, He even created the right to make our own decisions, knowing that we might not choose Him. But He always hopes and prays that we will, and He is constantly searching for us, so that He might gain our trust, and we might then give Him our hearts.

And let me tell you from personal experience, there is absolutely nothing that will ever compare to the beauty, peace, purpose, and happiness that we gain by giving our hearts to Him, and letting Him be the King of our lives.

Even though God made us with free will, we were still created by Him, so everything in our being naturally gravitates towards what He has to offer. Everyone searches for something in their life--something that will give them the true peace that every immortal soul longs for. You've probably seen people who jump from lifestyle to lifestyle, all because they're on a desperate seach for that peace, but nothing can supply it but God. When you finally discover that, and let Him touch your heart, it will seem like the most natural thing in the world!

"..and what was said to the rose to make it unfold was said to me, here in my chest..."

Everytime I hear this song, it just makes me excited. It's upbeat and fun, but it's also true, and beautiful, because it speaks about all of these things.
It just makes me want to jump around and sing it at the top of my lungs!

Philippians 1:21
"For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain."

Isaiah 12:2
"Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and He has become my salvation."

Matthew 11:28-30
"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

Romans 8:6
"For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace."
