To Have Better

“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14-16

 

 

Make no mistake
My heart aches
I have pain
And I …
I have Greater
I have Better
I have Holy Comfort
Holy Love
I have Jesus
I have the Father
Who art in heaven
Who lives in my heart
Who strengthens my soul
Who will never depart
I have my Guide
With me forever
I am His, He is mine
There is nothing better
So on my hardest days
The darkest times
His Light shines
By His Word
Through miracles, wonders, lives shaped by the Holy Voice of Thunder
Powerful, victorious God’s Word, His voice commands our way,
His glory seen everyday,
His grace and mercy Divine
Jesus Christ my all in all
I will praise, I will sing,
For the One Who is King
My life, the life of those who belong to Him
Are safe, delivered, set free from sin
I am given much, much is  expected, I am blessed, I depend on Him
I lay my weary head against the heartbeat of my Father God
Courage to press on, fixing my eyes on Jesus my faith,
Promised victory, is ours, for all the saints
Through the righteous Perfect sacrifice of Christ, we are saved,
Cleansed, and given the fight
To lay down our life, trade it for the gift from Jesus Christ ,
Rise up, and go, as a living sacrifice,
To serve now and into eternity the King of Kings.
Jesus! Jesus! JESUS!
He is my life!
My Everything!

 

“For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power”

1 Corinthians 4:20

It’s one thing to say “amen”. To read the bible, to share a scripture.  Say,  “I believe”.  It’s a whole other thing to actually live it out, by the POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT 

 

You see…  The “LOVE” chapter , 1 Corinthians 13, was read in my home one morning on a beautiful day the Lord has made. Minutes later, I would be put to the test.

I had just lit the morning candles, gave scriptures for my sons to read, and now…

 

To live it out. Oh I felt the flesh rise up, with blood pumping irritation, over a matter.  (“love is not irritable”… the Word of God says – and I felt the conviction of the Holy Spirit)

I sat, quietly, took in a deep breath and waited.  As I pushed out my flesh, allowed the Word of God to do it’s work in me, the power of the Holy Spirit,  I  was ready to speak.

I addressed biblically,  the issue at hand.  I applied, what had just been read, to actually living it out.  The results were incredible!  Freedom for me, freedom for my household.

 

You see… there is BETTER… (of a more excellent or effective type or quality)

JESUS… is BETTER… than anything…

 

“Because Your lovingkindness is better than life,
My lips shall praise You.” Psalms 63:3

 

 

“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light” Ephesians 5:8
