We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Remember that the man who truly repents is never satisfied with his own repentance. We can no more repent perfectly than we can live perfectly. However pure our tears, there will always be some dirt in them; there will be something to be repented of even in our best repentance. But listen! To repent is to change your mind about sin, and Christ, and all the great things of God. There is sorrow implied in this; but the main point is the turning of the heart from sin to Christ. If there be this turning, you have the essence of true repentance, even though no alarm and no despair should ever cast their shadow upon your mind.
C.H. Spurgeon

I Want to Be More Like Jesus

As each day passes by,

I feel my love run dry.

I get so weary, worn,

And tossed around in the storm.

Well I’m blind to all his needs,

And I’m tired of planting seeds.

I seem to have a wealth,

Of so many thoughts about myself.

I want to, I need to, be more like jesus.

I want to, I need to, be more like him.

Our father’s will was done,

By giving us his son,

Who paid the highest cost,

To point us to the cross.

And when I think of him,

Taking on the whole world’s sin,

I take one look at me,

Compared to what I’m called to be.

I want to, I need to, be more like jesus.

I want to, I need to, be more like him.

Remember, there’s no greater love,

Then to lay down your life for a friend.

The end of all my prayers,

Is to care like my lord cares.

My one and only goal,

His image in my soul.

Yes my weakness is revealed,

When by his stripes I’m healed.

He’s faithful and he’s true,

To complete the work he begins in you.
