Easter

Easter is a strange time, as my little cousins sit in anticipation for the easter eggs that will come tomorrow, as a lot of workers look forward to along weekend. I find it funny how the sense of easter is one that we look forward to what is to come, and yes that is important but at Easter this is the first of two dates in the year that we as a body of people look back in unity and reflect. We back at the most important person to ever walk this earth, we look back at the cross and what it represents. We look back at our Jesus and i for one am filled with hope and joy. As tears well up at what this amazing saviour did for me it gives me the strength and hope to look forward and take strides at my future and at my ambitions. My God is a God who saves.

Why is it that we seem to get caught in selfish thoughts all the time, when did our world become self-centred? I am guilty of this also but why is it that we are like this. The God who lives in me who at this time of Easter gave his life so I might be able to spend eternity with him because he loves me that much. We are called to be Christ like yet we sit back and watch a broken people. I will rise for my God. I am so over joyed at the thought that this Easter one person might come to know God, I am so pumped that someone else may know this God who rescued me out of darkness. There is a song written by hillsong called The Time Has Come, this is a true declaration of our current global state. The time has come for us to take back the true meaning of Easter. I will go. Im so pumped to serve my God in anyway and know that i have done all i can to see his glory fall.

Amazing Grace

This thing called life often seems to get the better of me, its quite strange really, when you think about it, how often we get caught up in our own little world, consumed by selfish desires and things that hinder us from moving forward into the things of God. I find it funny how often i get annoyed at the fact that things dont seem to be going the way i want them to be, i guess thats because they arent going the way i want them to be, they're going the way God wants them to be going.

I thoroughly enjoy life at the moment, everything is going well, the dragon slayer is dominating it. I have a job but dont know when i start, i honestly just cant wait to start working.

This year is going so fast, it has been the greatest but most frustrating year of my life so far, just waiting the majority of the year to find a job, which sucks, i will have no income for at least a week, which means i have very little money to last the next few weeks, i feel like luke smith.

Not sure why i called this amazing grace, it was probably going to be another one of those last couple of flavems.

He called my name

I was a restless wanderer, trying to find my place in life. As i ran the race called life trying to get first place, i stumbled and fell into the chasm called sin. I fell into a darkness, and began to doubt the fact the i had purpose. All hope was drained from me, i was empty, broken and defeated. As i was about to give up and throw in the towel, I heard a whisper. A very faint whisper, saying my name. Hope started to come back, i felt like i could make it. The whisper came again, another step out of the chasm. The voice came again but this time it wasnt a whisper. Another step out of the chasm, now i was running, running with purpose, a purpose to get to the voice, to know him. Each step i took it felt like i was getting lighter, each step i took i felt like i was getting set free. The chains of the chasm could no longer hold me. I knew the voice now, it was the voice of hope, the voice of peace and the voice of freedom. A voice when spoken the earth shakes and the mountains tremble and oceans roar. The voice belonged to my hope and my strength. My mighty saviour and deliverer. The voice belonged to Jesus. 

A warrior

I am part of a warrior race rising up for the glory of a saviour. I will be the change i wish to see. A generation will be changed by the power of the cross. I am in a battle that has already been won by the power of the cross, through the sacrifice Jesus made. Some people choose to sit back and enjoy the sinful nature of life, its for this reason i can no longer sit back and watch as a generation misses out on the freedom, the beauty, and on the victory that is received through a relationship with God. Its for this reason i choose to get out on the front line. I can not sit back any longer, i must go!
