One thing have I desired...

I feel blessed and honored that years ago the Lord placed a desire in my heart to serve him. He let me see my need for Him, forgave me, filled me with the Holy Ghost and placed me in His kingdom. The psalmist said it best:

Psalms 27:4 "One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.

I came to realize that it was His mercy that brought me here. There was nothing I could have done, no barter or trade that I could have made with Him. He saw my need, and had compassion on me. Psalms 40:2 describes so accurately what He did for me. "He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet on a rock, and established my goings". There I was lost in sin, a death sentence on my head and he saved me! And that was just the beginning.

I am just thankful, so thankful for what He has done for me. So I want to live a life that will show my appreciation for His sacrifice and His love and mercy that have been so graciously extended to me.

This is my life

This is what I live for

Just to be with God's people

In this hour....
