A Longing so Strong...

Recently I have had such a burning desire to see my lost friends saved and come to a deep relationship with Christ. Every morning on my way to work I listen to worship music, usually Hillsong United or Jesus Culture worship, and since I've started each day with a devotion and prayer time with the Lord, my heart has been torn for my co-workers and friends who do not know or love Christ.
What is life without You Lord? What is the meaning of waking, working, living, without the Savior of my Soul? I cannot imagine going through my day without the knowledge that He loves me, He forgives me, and He has plans for me! Working at Costco is Not my purpose in like, and I do not have to struggle through all my relationships with people, my worry with finances, my empty heart or longing for a meaning and point to life. I have a meaning! I have purpose, and I know why I'm here on earth! I want everyone I know to experience this knowledge and this freeing understanding that comes with a personal relationship with God and His Son Jesus!
I know this deep ache for the souls of my lost friends is from God Himself, and I believe I'm experiencing a tiny part of what He feels each day for His lost children - an ache and longing for their acceptance of His love, grace, forgiveness and freedom.
I don't particularly believe in the "prosperity gospel" which preaches that everything you ask for will be given to you, all your dreams will come true, and life will be wonderfully and easy when you come to Christ, however, I Do believe that life is 100% better with Jesus Christ as your Savior and your Lord. Without Him I would be lost and wandering... Without Him I would not have the wonderful marriage I have, the wonderful family I have, the wonderful friendships and relationships I have, I would not have the wisdom I have, or the health, or the financial security, or the joy, or the peace when everything around my fails and falls, or the hope of a bright and glorious future with Him alone... When I think about it - Life is actually so much better when you come to Christ!! :D
Yes, my dreams and desires come true, why? Because He changes them so that my heart's desires are His heart's desires! My dreams are His dreams! My goals His goals... therefore when our thoughts line up with the Father's we are happy when He is happy and therefore nothing can touch us because, "If the Lord is for us, who can be against us?" :D What a wonderful life I have indeed... :D

I can't worship enough...

This video of Jesus Culture band singing The Light of Your Face knocked me out...
I can't sing to the glory of God for long enough...loud enough...or with passion enough to reach what he deserves...
Enjoy the presence of the Lover of your soul...
