Diagnostic

Creştinismul trebuie să propovăduiască acum diagnosticul - în sine o veste foarte proastă - înainte de a-şi putea câştiga un public care să asculte care este calea spre vindecare.

Pocăinţă uitată

Când ai plâns ultima oară pentru păcatul tău? Când ai plâns ultima oară pentru biserica ta? Pentru o lucrare care nu merge? Pentru un om care este departe de Dumnezeu? Când te-ai rugat şi ai plâns cu suspine adânci înaintea Domnului?

Ne jucăm, cochetăm, fentăm şi suntem seduşi de păcat. Apoi ne întrebăm cum am ajuns acolo, că doar am mers la biserică şi am mai citit din Biblie, şi nu facem ce fac alţii. Ce înseamnă pocăinţa pentru tine? De când nu ai mai spus păcatului pe nume?
Mă rog pentru un duh de pocăinţă. Personal. Vreau să mi se rupă inima în mine de durere şi de ruşine atunci când păcătuiesc împotriva lui Dumnezeu. Să simt tristeţea Lui. M-am săturat să tot ştiu că păcătuiesc, dar inima mea să fie rece şi împietrită. Vreau să mă doară, vreau să mă pocăiesc.

Doamne, ascultă…

Mult mai mult decât cerem sau gândim noi…

Sunt îndoielile mele, speranţele şi rugăciunile, toate într-o cântare. De multe ori nu am răbdare ca Dumnezeu să îşi împlinească promisiunea, câteodată mă îndoiesc că îi pasă atât de mult de cele mai adânci dorinţe ale mele, iar uneori chiar cred că uită de mine. Dar atunci El lucrează, atunci el pregăteşte şi mă pregăteşte…

Far Beyond - Eric and Leslie Ludy

I hear it in a love song, I see it on a movie screen,
The kind of perfect love story I have always dreamed.
When someone comes into my life and yet it seems so out of reach
It’s all I think about sometimes; will I ever find the love that’s meant to be?
Maybe my thoughts seem foolish to a holy God who made the sea and earth
Oh, but You are the One who created love between a woman and a man.
And deep inside I hear You say: You see all my hopes and fears
And if I give to You the pain of my life [...]

Far beyond my deepest heart’s desire
Far beyond what I could ever dream for
Far beyond the fairytale imagination is Your perfect plan for me
That’s related to romance and all it’s beauty
When the Author of Love scripts my destiny
Far beyond the most that I could long for
I will find the dreams You have dreamed for me.

I could search forever, I could look for true love everywhere
If all my dreams were answered, they still could not compare
To the beauty of Your ways, and all Your plans for my life
‘Cause You’ve been scripting out the story for me
Before the very foundations of time.

Far beyond my deepest heart’s desire
Far beyond what I could ever dream for
Far beyond the fairytale imagination is Your perfect plan for me
That’s related to romance and all it’s beauty
When the Author of Love scripts my destiny
Far beyond the most that I could long for
I will find the dreams You have dreamed for me.
The dreams You have dreamed for me…

Wait for me

Wait For Me - Rebecca St. James

Darling, did you know that I
I dream about you
Waiting for the look in your eyes
When we meet for the first time
And darling, did you know that I
I pray about you
Praying that you will hold on
And keep your loving eyes only for me

‘Cause I am waiting for, praying for you darling
Wait for me too
Wait for me as I wait for you
‘Cause I am waiting for, praying for you darling
Wait for me too
Wait for me as I wait for you
Darling wait

Darling did you know
I dream about life together
Knowing it will be forever
I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine
And darling when I say
” Til death do us part”
I mean it with all of my heart
Now and always faithful to you

Now I know you may have made mistakes
But there’s forgiveness, and a second chance
So wait for me, darling wait for me
Wait for me
Darling wait for me…

Walking Her Home - Mark Schultz

Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call

Her dad said son
Have her home on time
And promise me you’ll never leave her side
He took her to a show in town
And he was ten feet off the ground

(Chorus)
He was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled it stole the breath right out of him
Down that old road
With the stars up above
He remembers where he was the night he fell in love
He was walking her home

Ten more years and a waiting room
At half past one
And the doctor said come in and meet your son

His knees went weak
When he saw his wife
She was smiling as she said he’s got your eyes

And as she slept he held her tight
His mind went back to that first night

(Chorus)

He walked her through the best days of her life
Sixty years together and he never left her side

A nursing home
At eighty-five
And the doctor said it could be her last night
And the nurse said Oh
Should we tell him now
Or should he wait until the morning to find out

But when they checked her room that night
He was laying by her side

Oh he was walking her home
And holding her hand
Oh the way she smiled when he said this is not the end
And just for a while they were eighteen
And she was still more beautiful to him than anything
He was walking her home
He was walking her home

Looking back
He sees it all
It was her first date the night he came to call.

The love I am waiting for…

Acces limitat

Noaptea trecută în timp ce mă bucuram de fulgere, s-a făcut linişte în sufletul meu. Şi am fost uimită să realizez cât de gălăgios este Satana. Doar atât poate face. Gălăgie. Şi a devenit expert.

Şi totuşi, el are acces doar la mintea şi la emoţiile mele. Prin toată debandada pe care o produce în jurul meu, îmi zăpăceşte gândirea şi îmi derutează emoţiile. Dar duhul meu… nu îl poate tulbura. Ce fac eu cu gândurile zăpăcite şi emoţiile derutate, determină starea duhului meu.

Starea duhului meu depinde de timpul petrecut în liniştea divină. Acolo unde gândurile şi emoţiile se liniştesc în prezenţa LUI şi rămân doar cele reale.

Vreau “să Te plimbi prin gândurile mele”…

I need it. I thirst after it. I will try to gather drops of it here, for others who thirst. It’s rare.
