My daughter drew this picture in children' church on Sunday. She told me that the little stick person is her and the tall stick person is Jesus hugging her. This really touched my heart including the lady who helps with children's church. She said that she is going to let her picture stay up there and not erase it.

Quench Your Thirst Thursday ~ Just As I Am

-
Image
There is something incredibly powerful about being known completely and still being fully loved. In a world that often places value on appearance, perfection, and performance, the lyrics to "Just As I Am"  reminds us that God sees us in all our imperfections and still opens His arms wide with grace. It's about a love that sees everything and still invites you in, into His presence and His Family. “But God demonstrates His own love toward us,  in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) "Just as I am, with all my imperfections, You draw me close and offer strength in weakness." The Lord tells Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:9,  “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” God isn’t waiting for us to have it all together. He meets us in the middle of our mess, not with shame, but with grace, mercy, and compassion.  God's power is not diminished or limited by our weaknesses. When we recognize our limitati...

Quench Your Thirst Thursday ~ "Nothing Else"

-
Image
There are moments in life when everything feels cluttered, our schedules, our thoughts, our hearts. We find ourselves chasing after things: success, validation, dreams, etc. Until we realize, we have drifted far away from the very One our soul truly desires.  Cody Carnes' song “Nothing Else”  is about the importance of prioritizing a relationship with God above all else, even above the blessings and gifts He provides. It emphasizes a shift in focus from seeking the blessings from the hands of God to pursuing His heart (His presence). Also, it encourages Christians to return to a place of genuine, heart-centered worship and to recognize that God's love and presence are the ultimate blessings. “I’m caught up in Your presence, I just want to sit here at Your feet...” This opening line reflects the spirit of Luke 10:39-42 (NKJV) , where Mary chooses to sit at Jesus’ feet and listen to His word. When Martha complains, Jesus lovingly responds: “Mary has chosen that good part,...

Quench Your Thirst Thursday ~ The Stand

There are some songs that don’t just move us. They awaken us. “The Stand” by Hillsong United is one of those worship songs that challenges believers in Christ: to stand in awe, surrender fully, and give their lives to the One who gave everything for us. With full transparency and deep reverence, the song emphasizes that God is the creator of all things, has overcome our failures, and offers us salvation through His sacrifice.  “You stood before creation, eternity in Your hand...” From the very beginning, God has reigned over time and space. Before the first sunrise, before the first heartbeat, God stood,  sovereign, eternal, and full of glory. “Before the mountains were brought forth,  or ever You had formed the earth and the world,  even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God.” (Psalm 90:2) The opening line reminds us that the One who formed the universe is the same One who formed us . We are made in His image. Every breath we take is a gift from our Ma...
