God uses what we love most to speak to us.
For me, that is words, written or sung.
In the span of 48 hours, an unexpected locked door, a trilogy of books, the Word and a new CD all combined to knock me to my knees and speak deeply to my spirit.
God was throughout each moment, and I am not the same after this series of encounters.
Everything & nothing less.
That is what God gives, gave for us….His all.
That is the kind of love pursuing us, whispering our names with such love & devotion. The love that gave His very life for us…holding nothing back.
This is the same sort of love we are to give Him back in return.
And it’s hard to not look back at where we have failed to do so when we keep our eyes focused on ourselves, where we have come from.
The cross was lifted up so we would be too.
We need to look up to see beyond ourselves…and we can’t easily look up when we aren’t on our knees, grounded on the solid rock of His love.
We need the reminder that we meant enough to Him for Him to give His everything and nothing less to win us back.
And He deserves nothing less than our everything in return.
That means the real everything…however that looks within each of us.
Our love
Our hurts
Our dreams & hopes
Our failures
Our skills
Our desires & plans
Our time
Our energy
Our devotion
Our worship
Just as we are,
everything and nothing less.
He desires nothing less than for us to come with our everything, right now, right in whatever situation or heartbreak you are in.
The One who gave His all will be delighted with you coming to Him, just as you are. Looking forward into His gaze, accepting His love, giving Him your all.
It’s time to bend the knee, and move into the everything, and nothing less, which He has waiting for you with Him.
Seek a quiet space, and take a moment to read these heartfelt lyrics which have been soaking in my heart for the past few days. Meet with Him in this holy moment.
If you take the time to listen, let Holy Spirit draw you in, and reassure you He is 100% for you, always, no matter what, in everything and nothing less.
This is your holy moment.

Amen! We have so much to praise Him for. If only we’d get that in our spirits. Get our eyes off ourselves and on the Lord of Glory. When we lift Him up, we are lifted up.
