Capture My Heart Again

Sometimes it would just be easier to give in to temptations and sin. Why is that? Why is it so easy to do things that are wrong and sometimes so difficult to do things that are right?

This is a challenge for me. And I think of it in extremes. Would I be a martyr for Christ?
What am I willing to give up for my God?

What are you willing to give up?

WOW! It was great to see you and spend a couple days with you last month. I hope you had a great visit with your brother! This is powerful stuff Shell... I can't wait to see what God reaveals to you over this next year. I pray that God would make you sensitive to His Spirit, that you would be drenched in His presence, and that He would give you a discerning Spirit. In all things look to God, seek His will, always ask WHAT?

God's Amazing Power

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
