Pleasure of Loving God

I'm reading a book called the Pleasure of Loving God. It's a really good book and everyone should read it!! But this is what I've learned...

He designed us so that our spirits will dull when we have a void of the knowledge of God's beauty.

Colossians 3:10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him,

When we live out of our natural identities, we define ourselves by how much money we make, what position and abilities we possess, how much power and influence we have and who we know. The Lord on the other hand, wants us to live our of the resources and the power of our spiritual identity-in other words, defining our lives by the fact that the beautiful our lives by the fact that the beautiful God desires us and has exalted us in the gift of the righteousness of Jesus.

Song of Solomon 7:10 I am my beloveds and his desire is toward me.

Luke 22:32 And they said to one another, Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?

I AM LOVED, AND I AM A LOVER!!!

Because I am loved and I am a Lover, I am successful in my humanity as a person during my time on the Earth. My primary success is because of that one spiritual principle and face: I am loved and; I am a lover of God.

This book has been so good for me to read..... especially on my journey to truly discover who I am and who the Lord is!

Vain

Just a little something I wrote a while back......

Why am I in the depths of despair?
That's why I'm writin the lyric
Just to try and keep my spirit
Man I feel like I'm about to go insane
What's my gain
If all I do is in vain
God, I want to know
How far I gotta go
Why am I in the depths of despair?
Is it really fair?
All I want to do is praise your name
Don't you want the same
It just deals with me growing
Cant I do it without showing
I'm in the depths of despair

Just like Jacob wrestled the angel
That's whats going on in my head
It makes me not want to go to bed
Satan keeps me awake to my thoughts
And all the lies I have bought
It wears me out
I know I should just pray
I just don't know what to say
You know the Lord saved me from all of this
So why do I keep gettin in this amiss
That's a good question to ask
I need to take off my mask
And get on my knees to humble myself
To take away all my pride
So that I can abide
In the kingdom of Heaven
Not to make it there on a lucky seven
But to go there on full force sayin praise the Lord
You know I got these Lyrics running through my head
I'm so tired I want to go to bed
But I gotta get these lyrics out of my head
The only way is throught this pen
The only way to express my sin

Just something I wrote.... Tell me what you think!
