unique

The closer we get to God, the more free and true to ourselves we become
We become everything we can be
We become fully ourselves
As we identify with Christ
The part of God that He's put in us , the real us, get revealed more and more

The closer we walk with God, the more real and true versions of ourselves we become
God has put treasures inside of you that nobody else in the world has
The world's is waiting for those treasures to be released

The closer to God we become
We become united because we are aligned with God
And, in a way, the more different we become from one another,
because our uniqueness gets revealed

Because now we are becoming the best version of ourselves
God is big enough to have created all of us
And to have made us all different
And yet still be bigger than the sum of us all

40-day Bible Reading Plan

At the beginning of the shelter in place season, God caught my attention to do a 40-day fast, and the verse that came with it was “man shall not live on bread alone but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God”  so I started a 40-day Bible reading plan. The variety of things that had filled my life prior to covid I no longer have, but personally it was a blessing in disguise for me because it enabled me to go deeper into what I had remaining -- God, His Word, and being able to worship. This has been a season for me digging down my roots deeply, where I was not distracted by the voices of the world  or even my friends, and was able to tune into God and be closer to him than ever before. O I pray that we can dig our roots deep, deep down and be changed so that we may be transformed, equipped, and prepared for whatever comes in this next season. 40 days (20 OT, 4 Ps, 7 NT)  Old Testament (20 ch/day) Psalms (4 psalms/day) New Testament (7 ch/day) 1 Genesis 1 - 20 Psa...

Heal Our Land // 주의 얼굴을 구하게 하소서

When I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people, if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7) Teach us to seek your face, not your hands But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.  (Matthew 6:33)   혹 내가 하늘을 닫고 비를 내리지 아니하거나 혹 메뚜기들에게 토산을 먹게 하거나 혹 전염병이 내 백성 가운데에 유행하게 할 때에 내 이름으로 일컫는 내 백성이 그들의 악한 길에서 떠나 스스로 낮추고 기도하여 내 얼굴을 찾으면 내가 하늘에서 듣고 그들의 죄를 사하고 그들의 땅을 고칠지라 (역대하 7:13-14) 주의 손보다 주의 얼굴을 구하게 하소서 그런즉 너희는 먼저 그의 나라와 그의 의를 구하라 그리하면 이 모든 것을 너희에게 더하시리라 (마 6:33)

Motives

Prov 14:12 There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.  16:2 All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the LORD. 21:2 I want to exhort you on the desire to have a pur motive before God, to want to do right by Him. I think that's wonderful, and a good desire to have, and that God is pleased by it. I remembered Hebrews 3:12 For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any double edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. I think discernment and purity is important, because we can be right intentioned but not 100% pure, etc. But we will get to more purity, etc., not as we search/focus internally (though sometimes necessary) but more as we meditate on God's Word. Because it is the Word of God that divides soul/spirit, judges our attitudes, not our limited understanding. I remember Abimelech and Abraham and Sarah, how God kept ...

I am not replaceable to God

I am dearly beloved.... I am precious in your sight... God made me different from anyone else, uniquely, and so how He interacts with me is unique. I am His one and only me... I am not replaceable to God... Zephaniah 3 The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing. Song of Songs 2 My lover is mine and I am his... I belong to my lover, and his desire is for me... Psalm 139 Before a word is on my tongue, you know it completely, O LORD. You hem me in -- behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the ...

Hope

If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men. ... So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable ; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory ; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power ; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body . (1 Cor 15) I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you , the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints , and his incomparably great power for us who believe . (Eph 1) Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? ...Do you not know that we will judge angels? (1 Cor 6) Now if we are children, then we are heirs -- heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory . I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. (...

May the LORD bless you and enlarge your territory      as He did for Jabez (1 Chr 4)          and keep you from falling. May He uphold you with His righteous right hand     all the days of your life          and bless you with His loving kindness               for His mercies are new every day                    and His goodness endures forever. You are His beloved, with whom He is well pleased. (Isa 43) Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See I am doing a new thing. Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland. Even the wild animals honor him. Honor Him, you people of the earth,     honor Him, bride of Christ          for He is your LORD May He answer the desires of your heart     as you seek Him, Hi...

Voice

Psalm 29 Ascribe to the LORD, O mighty ones, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness. The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD thunders over the mighty waters. The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic. The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, Sirion like a young wild ox. The voice of the LORD strikes with flashes of lightning. The voice of the LORD shakes the desert; the LORD shakes the Desert of Kadesh. The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in his temple all cry, "Glory!" The LORD sits enthroned over the flood; the LORD is enthroned as King forever. The LORD gives strength to his people; the LORD blesses his people with peace. God highlighted to me a few months ago that "spiritual warfare is a battle...
