Be.

you were made to desire;
you were made to desire love;
you were made to desire love to fill you.
you were even made to desire love to fill you, so that you can give without bounds or limits.
you are God's.
so let that - all of that - be God's.

when you want something, hear God say I Am.
when you want love, hear God say I Am.
when you want love to fill you, hear God say I Am.
when you want love to fill you, so you can give without bounds or limits, hear God say I Am.

give it to God, all of it.
"do with my desire what you will."
Be.

from Louis Evely:

"Fortunate are the poor in spirit."

That means:
Fortunate are those who are willing
to let themselves be censured by the word of God,
to re-examine their views,
to believe they haven't yet understood a thing,
to be taken by surprise,
to have their mind changed,
to see their convictions,
their principles
their tidy systems
and everything they took for granted
swept out from under them,
and to face the fact, once for all,
that there's no such thing as a matter of course
and that God can ask anything.

[from That Man Is You]

from Paulo Coelho:

Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams because every second of the search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity.

You're in the middle of a miracle.

Don't get comfy. There are things worth fighting for when you're in the middle of a miracle.

DARE

to believe in the power of prayer. more often than not, a faith-filled request for action from Jesus is more effective than action from ourselves. dare to believe.


As Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him,
crying aloud, "Have mercy on us, Son of David."
When he entered the house, the blind men came to him,
and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?"
They said to him, "Yes, Lord."
Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you."
And their eyes were opened.
