Seek and ye Shall Find

I closed my eyes and kept asking “are you sure this is the way?”

And louder the answers became, so loud I could no longer ignore or refuse.

With Your gift of sight, came strength I had not before known.

With strength, came assurance, I don’t walk this narrow path alone.

“Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.” Matthew 7:7

“Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say, “‘This is the way you should go,”’ whether to the right or to the left. Then you will destroy all your silver idols and your precious gold images. You will throw them out like filthy rags, saying to them, “Good riddance!” Isaiah 30:21-22

Full Surrender

You are holding me down

I fight against You

My tongue is bound

I can’t see in front of me

I can barely hear a sound

Surrender, full surrender

Until my will is broken beyond repair

And He says “Stay and tarry with Me here.

There’s no room for self-pity

No need for sympathy

It is the King who holds you captive

The worthy One holds the key”

Now where once I saw a dungeon

With surrender, full surrender

Unfolds a life so sweet

“In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.”

1 Peter 1:6-7

Counterfeit

Counterfeit comforts, counterfeit rewards.  What you think will lead to fulfillment will land you broker than you were before.  

Some are obvious, but some look very real.  So guard your heart with the sword of the Spirit until His stamp of authenticity is revealed.
