visible




"God in my living
There in my breathing
God in my waking
God in my sleeping

God in my resting
There in my working
God in my thinking
God in my speaking

Be my everything Be my everything Be my everything Be my everything

God in my hoping
There in my dreaming
God in my watching
God in my waiting

God in my laughing
There in my weeping
God in my hurting
God in my healing

Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
You are everything

Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
Be my everything"

the truth is that praise is needed when you see God moving in your life, and when you don't seem to know what's going on. God deserves worship on days that you can't stop smiling from the awesome things He has provided, and on the days you feel like you have nothing to offer.

no matter what, He doesn't change.
Hebrews 13:8 says,
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever."
that means you can always rely on Him.
1 John 4:15-17 says,
"If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him."

i find rest in that. i feel like right now, in whatever stage of life i'm currently in some things are "dying" and other things are springing up into "life." things that i totally thought were going to happen haven't, and i'm continually surprised by what turns out being "right" for me. it really shows me that God knows what i need way more than i think i do. my prayers have changed. the things i ask for have changed, because i want His best. for example i went on a job interview. the place was awesome, the atmosphere, position, boss, manager, etc. whole nine yards, i thought it was THE job. the one i had been praying for. i even thought the schedule was good. i left pleading to God that i wanted it. i didn't hear back, but they told me in a week they would let me know. in the meantime i applied to other jobs, and went on one interview. turns out this schedule was BETTER than the other place, the pay was BETTER than the other place, and guess what, they hired me immediately! i really do trust that God knows exactly what i need when i need it.
