abide in My love

"I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you."
-Jesus (John 16:12-15)

I was made for Love!

yea sometimes life is hard, and sometimes for a good thing you have to suffer a little and sacrifice some. how worthy is something if it has zero cost? zero value? i like the challenges of life. i like the unpredictability, the danger. Jesus knows this. He made me this way. and He made me this way for a purpose. it's not something i've grown into. it's the way ive always been. and it is for His purpose. to use me for things He can't use others for because He made them for things that i wasn't made for, that i cannot do. He is my joy. through these past couple, and life changing, years with Jesus ive come to find im filled with the most joy and hope and love for Him when i realize i need Him. and He has never let me down. sometimes i may be looking for Him to move in one way while He decides to move in another and i don't see it, but He's still moving and loving and redeeming His creation.

Man was never made to die
Man was made to live in the Joy of His presence
and splendor forever
We were made for the Garden of His heart
Full of Life

King of Joy

so clean
so clear
so Holy

is this secret place a place of being consumed in who You are?

There is a Fountain Filled with Blood

There is a fountain filled with blood
drawn from Emmanuel’s veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
lose all their guilty stains.
Lose all their guilty stains,
lose all their guilty stains;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
lose all their guilty stains.

The dying thief rejoiced to see
that fountain in his day;
And there have I, though vile as he,
washed all my sins away.
Washed all my sins away,
washed all my sins away;
And there have I, though vile as he,
washed all my sins away.

Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed church of God
be saved, to sin no more.
Be saved, to sin no more,
be saved, to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed church of God
be saved, to sin no more.

E’er since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme,
and shall be till I die.
And shall be till I die,
and shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme,
and shall be till I die.

When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
lies silent in the grave,
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll sing Thy power to save.
I’ll sing Thy power to save,
I’ll sing Thy power to save;
Then in a nobler, sweeter song,
I’ll sing Thy power to save.

Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared,
unworthy though I be,
For me a blood bought free reward,
a golden harp for me!
’Tis strung and tuned for endless years,
and formed by power divine,
To sound in God the Father’s ears
no other name but Thine.

Let the fire in Your eyes erupt a fire in my heart, Jesus!

i hear people say things like "it's just a word?" (usually in a cussing situation).
but "just a word" created this entire universe.
you're/my words carry a heavy weight
they will create something
something good or something evil
but they will create.

You think about Your words, Jesus
and You liked the sound of my name
i can only imagine the love with which you first spoke my name
taylor, because Your creation of my being excited Your heart.
i am Yours
You are mine.

what is the width, length depth, and height of Your love
that you have for us?
