Prodigal, by The Michael Gungor Band

I’ve tasted Your glory and I left it there.
You poured out Your Spirit and I didn’t care.
Still you loved me.
I’ve lived for myself with nobody to blame.
I took what You gave me and squandered Your grace.
Still You loved me.
Nothing compares to what You’ve done for me
Nothing compares to what You’ve done for me.

I could live for the broken and share in their pain.
I could die like a martyr or live like a saint.
Just to love You.
I could sing like the angels and gather Your praise:
Be blessed beyond measure and give it away.
Just to love You.
Still nothing compares to what You’ve done for me.
Nothing compares to what You’ve done for me.

My heart has been broken; I’ve laid out my shame.
Because of Your mercy, all I can say is
I love You.
So I’ll tell of Your story, I’ll carry Your name.
I’ll live for Your glory Lord, I’ll share in Your pain.
Just to love You.
Nothing compares to what You’ve done for me.
Nothing compares to what You’ve done for me.
Nothing compares to what You’ve done for me.

Nothing can separate us
Nothing can separate us
Not death or life
Or depth or height
Or unseen power
Now or ever!

It Is All About God

“When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.”  - James 4:3

Once again (see previous posts: God’s Promises Are True! and It’s About The “All”) it is not about the “me” it is about the “all,” or maybe better put, it is all about God.

Dear Lord,

Help us to remember that it is about You and Your mission, saving the lost.  May we pray with this in mind so that we may receive what we ask for in Your Name!

Amen

Let Us Be Thankful

 “Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our ‘God is a consuming fire.’”  - Hebrews 12:28-29

Isn’t it great to know that God is offering us “a kingdom that cannot be shaken?”  What a great God!   He is worthy of all our reverence and awe, for He is a “consuming fire.” 

Dear Lord, 

Thank You for the assurance we have in You.  Thank You for the promise of a kingdom that “cannot be shaken.”  You are truly great and I am thankful for the opportunity to worship You.  Thanks!
