Send me

 In the year that King Uzziah¹ died,² I saw the Lord³ seated on a throne,⁴ high and exalted,⁵and the train of his robe⁶ filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphs,⁷ each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet,⁸ and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy⁹, holy is the LORD Almighty;¹⁰ the whole earth¹¹ is full of his glory."¹² 4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.¹³ 5 "Woe¹⁴ to me!" I cried. "I am ruined!¹⁵ For I am a man of unclean lips,¹⁶¹⁷ and I live among a people of unclean lips,¹⁸ and my eyes have seen¹⁹ the King,²⁰ the LORD Almighty."²¹ 6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal²² in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips;²³ your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.²⁴"8 Then I heard the voice²⁵ of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send?²⁶ And who will go for us?²⁷" And I said, "Here am I.²⁸ Send me!"  -Isaiah 6:1-8

TRANSFORMED

After seeing what I have seen this weekend at Campus Harvest, the Lord at work, how can I walk away and do nothing? "Here I am, send me!" Lord, use me every second, minute, and hour of each day. Lord, send me to the places where You are needed. I want to be used by You. 
     After hearing so many testimonies and seeing so many come to Christ, and so many baptized, I believe that the Lord will work in amazing ways. I'm so excited thinking about the things that He has done and is going to do. I know that I have to give Him my all, all the time. I just imagine the people around the world, struggling to survive and I sit and think of my situation. I have everything I could ever want and need and still I am not putting my all into living for Christ. I had become content in not taking risks and letting the daily humdrum of life distract me. I haven't been living in the moment. Now, I want to make that change.

Closer

I had been feeling far away from You
and farther it seems
I drifted as frustration took its toll
then closer, you drew me in
and closer I grew
until I learned to fully trust in You
You are all I need
You are the one that comforts me
I can not stray from you for long
Cause you reach out Your loving arm
And you take me in with Your embrace
my rock, my love, my hiding place...

Love that will not let me go

"O Love that will not let me go,

I rest my weary soul in thee;

I give thee back the life I owe,

That in thine ocean depths its flow

May richer, fuller be.

O light that followest all my way,

I yield my flickering torch to thee;

My heart restores its borrowed ray,

That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day

May brighter, fairer be.

O Joy that seekest me through pain,

I cannot close my heart to thee;

I trace the rainbow through the rain,

And feel the promise is not vain,

That morn shall tearless be.

O Cross that liftest up my head,

I dare not ask to fly from thee;

I lay in dust life’s glory dead,

And from the ground there blossoms red

Life that shall endless be."

Lord, You never let go. You will not let me go. Through sickness and sorrow and pain, through numbness, drought, and rain You hold me close. I thank you for your steadfast love. Love that is pure and never gives up on me, even when I give up on myself. You keep me going, pushing me forwoard like a father pushing his child on a bike. Always keeping me steady and holding on, never letting me fall. You are my love, you are love. A love that will not burn out, no it will never die.
