Every gift reveals Gods love....but no gift reveals his love more than the gifts of the cross. They came, not wrapped in paper, but in passion. Not placed around a tree, but a cross. And not covered with ribbions, but sprinkled with blood.
~Max Lucado.."He Chose the Nails"

Mighty, awesome, wonderful
Is the holy cross
Where the Lamb laid down His life
To lift us from the fall
Mighty is the power of the cross!!

Love Through Christ!
~Rachel~

My body breaks beneath the weight
Of toil and trouble, fears and fights
Sickness in me, world against me
I cry to you tonight

Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy
Holy Healer
Strength within
Pass me not
Forsake me not, Lord
Amen

My enemies are whispering
They pray my name may die
So few to trust, so few are just
I cry to you tonight

Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy
Holy Healer
Strength within
Pass me not
Forsake me not, Lord
Amen, Amen

My heart is dim, Its always been
I turn from what is right
Passions of youth fear me from truth
I Cry to you tonight

Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy
Sinless Savior
Judge of men
Pass me not
Forake me not, Lord
Amen Amen

i love that song!!! its by Shaun Groves if you didnt know!!!

wow!!! yesterday i read 1 John and today i read Ephesians!!! God showed me so much threw those 2 books of the bible!!!

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
~1 John 2:15

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear because fear has to go with punishment. The one who fears is not made in perfect love.
~John 4:18

I keep asking that God of our Lord Jesus Christ the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation so that you may know him better!!
~Ephesians 1:17

There is one body and one Spirit-just as you were called to one hope when you were called-one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and all in all!
~Ephesians 4:4-6

Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devils schemes.
~Ephesians 6:11

those are some of the verses that really stuck out to me!! i have written down a lot more!! lol!! but yes..God does show you some amazing things through the Bible!

Unto You be glory, glory,
Unto You be honor,
Unto You be praises, Jesus,
Forever and ever.

Love through Christ!!

"UnFalling Love"
by Chris Tomlin

You have my heart
And I am yours forever
You are my strength
God of grace and power

And everything
You hold in your hand
Still You make time for me
I can't understand

Praise You God of earth and sky
How beautiful is Your unfailing love
Unfailing Love
You never change, God, You remain
The holy One and my unfailing love
Unfailing love

You are my rock
The One i hold on to
You are my song
And I sing for You

this is song is awesome!!!! i love it!!! i was listening to it on tha way to work!!! WHAT A WAY TO START A DAY!!!!

wow!!! thats all i can really say to what God is really doin in my life!!! he has shown me soo much and tha devil has tempted me in ways but im stayin strong in his word and not fallin into temptation!!!! God is showing me what i am gonna be wanting to do in my life! everyday i look back and see tha decsions i have made in tha past couple years some have been bad and some have been good!! but God got me through all of them and he will get me through tha decsions i will be makin on my future!!! i dunno its kinda a lil scary!!!

"Watch and Pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing but the body is weak."
~Matthew 26:41

"Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation."
~Luke 11:4

Love through Christ!!!
