Failures of the Flesh & Heart

"If we've eyes to see
If we've ears to hear
To find it in our hearts and mouths
The word that saves is near
Shed that shallow skin
Come and live again

Leave all you were before
To believe is to begin"
- Brooke Fraser


I am puting myself away tonight. This life...the one I know..and the one I don't.......is all in His hands. I forget the reference..but the verse that says "my flesh and my heart may fail, but God is my strength and my portion forever".....will not leave my mind tonight.

And I can testify that this week....and many before this one...my flesh and my heart failed me. And I have a feeling that I need to just be obedient and let the Lord have it all.

Pray for me.

If to distant lands I scatter
If I sail to farthest seas
Would you find and firm and gather
'til I only dwell in Thee?
If I flee from greenest pastures
Would you leave to look for me?
Forfeit glory to come after
'Til I only dwell in Thee
If my heart has one ambition
If my soul one goal to seek
This my solitary vision 'til I only dwell in Thee
That I only dwell in Thee
'Til I only dwell in Thee

Psalm 73:23 (it may be 22 or around there but it's definitely chapter 73)

Your words bring life into my weary soul. What a testimony to the joy and work of God in your heart. and what a legacy you are living....praise Jesus for you.
