praise & pray 4 me :D

look at the moon . . . I wanna be just like that ^__^ (i.e. brightly reflecting a glory not my own, simply faithfully reflecting His light to all =)-- i'm not an awfully faithfully bright reflector tho :"(please REJOICE with me & pray for me!!

if you care about me & love me, please tell me anytime you see something wrong in my life!

:D PRAISE :D

:D every breath of life He's given me to bring me past the 6 year mark after my brain injury!

:D opening my blinded eyes to see Jesus, & giving me the faith to collapse all the weight of my confidence into Jesus!

:D God is my Father!

:D I am His child!

:D Heaven is my Home!

:D every passing moment is a moment closer to my True Home!

:D my Saviour is my brother!

:D every True Christian is my brother/ sister!

:D crushing me * under the weight of blessing from His incredibly AWESOME goodness in Jesus Christ!!

:D this brilliant opportunity to partake in investing in ETERNITY.. TO THE MAX! [GFA MAX MISSION!!] see: http://www.gfa.org/maxmissions

:D continually taking away any reasons i'd have to be proud (my worst enemy!] & giving me much reason to be humble [my best friend] !!:D daily revealing beautifully fresh new facets of the unsearchable depths of His mercy & grace to me!

:D discovering more of "every good thing" i have in Christ as i share Him with precious lost souls!

:D His Word is TRUE!! "The saying is trustworthy and deserving of full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the foremost." 1Tim 1:15

:D HIS PROMISE NEVER FAILS!! Know this with all your heart, with everything in you, that not one detail has failed of all the good things GOD, your God, promised you. It has all happened. nothing's left undone--not so much as a word. [Joshua 23:14b]

:D He still transforms sinful men into fishers of men! [Luke 5] still cant get over that .. how He turns lost, blind, deaf, dead sinful wretches into found, seeing, hearing & living trophies of His grace to carry His gospel to the lost!!

*PRAY*

Lord, grant me never to lose sight of:

the exceeding sinfulness of sin,

the exceeding righteousness of salvation,

the exceeding glory of Christ,

the exceeding beauty of holiness,

the exceeding wonder of grace (from "continual repentance" the Valley of Vision)

* keep me standing close to the cross every moment of every day so as to cultivate/strengthen my greatest friend, humility, and weaken/kill my greatest enemy, pride!

* provide guidance, wisdom and full support, open doors, provide contacts & funds so we can support & bless many through this [GFA MAX MISSION!!].

* i'd daily declare war on pride & gladly declare my weakness & need for total dependence on God!

* i'd not lose sight of the seriousness of the very real unseen war raging on around us & stay ALERT for the souls of those around me & myself!

!* i'd use every temptation to sin as an opportunity to prove my love for Jesus by keeping His commandments! "The person who has my commandments and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I, too, will love him and reveal myself to him." (John 14:21)

* i'd focus more on the RESURRECTION OF JESUS in my gospel-sharing!!

* i'd rejoice [& not dread!] when presented with opportunities to be like my Father in Heaven to love the "unlovable"

* Lord.. i want to believe.. help my unbelief! especially when it comes to viewing myself - i'm righteous in Christ, yet i still make too much of my sin :"(

~~thanks SO much~! appreciate you . . . for an eternity :)
