Thirst In The Valley

As we journey through this thing called life, we hike up mountains and walk through valleys, we see rainbows and lightning, and sometimes we feel like we slide back as we struggle. But no matter what happens, we have to keep moving forward as we continue to learn and grow not only when in the valleys of life but with every breath we take. My prayer is that God would work in both of our hearts as we thirst even more for Him while we keep pressing on.

Amazing Grace


1 John 4: 7-21

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and His love is made complete in us. We know that we live in Him and He in us, because He has given His Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent His Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like Him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. We love because He first loved us. If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And He has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.



If I were in a maze of God's everlasting love, I would get lost so easily.

If I were trying to run through the maze of life, I would find many dead ends.

Sometimes it seems like Satan traps me in the corner and he beats me.

Yet God's amazing grace I could never comprehend.

Sometimes I wonder why He chose me to be His child, to follow in His ways.

Why He loves me when I come back after failure, why He helps me up when I fall down.

Even when I hurt Him so, every time I seek Him out, I am truly amazed.

Praise and glory be yours forever. Nothing compares to you. We will cast off our crowns.
