Joyful in hope
Patient in affliction
Faithful in prayer
Romans 12:12
its easy to walk into your church and point out 9430403 things that are wrong and should be changed.
its hard to walk into your church see whats wrong and not be part of the problem but build up in love
its easy to ignore whats wrong and pretend things are ok
its hard to take up the burden and constantly ask the Lord to change hearts
its easy to give up and stop caring
its hard to persevere and and trust that the Lord is working
its easy to grow complacent
its hard to never be lacking in zeal
its easy to doubt
its hard to hope
A church should be a place where people are hungry for the Lord and come with nothing but a broken and contrite heart
A place where people sing loudly, pray intensely, scream, shout, dance, cry for God
A place where there is brokenness every meeting but also hope and joy.
A place of unity and love because everyone is totally submitted to God
A place filled with many many prayers
and only the Lord can break us to be like this.
We hold so much pride that holds us back from experiencing the full grace of God
There are so many other things we would rather do than come to God
"Create in me a clean heart
and renew a right spirit with in me"
Psalm 51:10
"Show me your ways and teach me your paths
Guide me in your truth and teach me
for you are God my Saviour
and my hope is in you all day long"
Psalm 25:4-5
