Isaiah 49:6

"It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles, that You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth."

Psalm 37: 12-15

The wicked plots against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth. The Lord laughs at him, for He sees that his day is coming. The wicked have drawn the sword and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, to slay those who are of upright conduct. Their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

humble yourselves and let Jesus love you

that mind of Christ is the most beautiful love i have ever known. i can't even describe the fury of His love. describing His love as "furious" has probably been the closest ive been able to describe the intensity of His love and the incredible cleansing of His blood that He's shown me to be true of Him. it is a love that 100% leaves me speechless and in awe. more Jesus.

i had probably the most love filled weekend of my life. i feel He showed me something about Himself...actually it was more of a reminder and an even deeper revelation of something He told in Mozambique:

when you're receiving My love is when My heart and
love for you makes Me the most love drunk.

it is the will of Jesus for us to receive His love. He longs to love us. it pleases God and glorifies Him to let Him love us. He loves it! He loves us!

ask the Father

"And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full."

"In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you: for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God."
-john 16:23-24, 26-27

Jesus says to be a son to the Father. to not hold back because He made a way for us to come to God. He says don't ask Me! ask the Father! I have made you a son!!! you are My brother and best friend!

the Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk, but of power

this is how i know the power of God will come to save and help us:

"what does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? can faith save him? if a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, 'depart in peace, be warmed and filled,' but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead."
-james 2:14-17

the Words of God carry power. real, honest power that we can trust in. He is real, honest love that we can trust in. what good does it do you if Jesus says i can help you but doesn't? He says He can help you which means He will. "...it is impossible for God to lie...this hope we have as an anchor of the soul..." - Hebrews 6:18-19
