Current Impression

One loud and repeating theme.

I can do nothing. I can do all things through Christ. Apart from Him, I am nothing.

When you cannot affect an outcome, when you cannot drink, when your words fall to the ground or get lost inside another ones head doing what you can only imagine, but not doing what you want... then it is time to turn from your idols, it is time to turn again to the One Who Saves.

Wretchedness. Why do I come when there is no where else to turn? Why do I come when there is no one else but You? You have saved a wretched woman and yet Your wooing me again brings a renewed sense of awe in Your ability to work in my life... and an awe at why You would even set Your love upon me. It is Your goodness that leads me to repentance. It is Your goodness that turns me to you.

You are the One who brought me up from the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage... now please take the Egypt out of me, the idols and the worship that they demand. Fill me with this praise:

"Sing to the Lord,
For He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and the rider
He has thrown into the sea!"

Jesus, no matter how small others make you I pray that my life would magnify You!

In Your precious name I ask.
