beautiful, beautiful.

that's what He says when he sees me.
really, truly. it is.
I'm not saying that to be vain, self-centered, or haughty. I'm saying that to boast in my God- that he can take someone as selfish, dirty, wretched, sinful, worthless, and prideful as me and 1) forgive me. 2) wash me- as in, bleached. completely fresh, clean, and pure. 3) heal me. 4) walk with me.
He just continues to astound me and I love it.
and as He walks with me, he continues to rescue me from various situations. He actually takes delight in ME- I thrill him! Wow, what a thought. And even more than that, he quiets my overreactive heart and mind with his great love and peace that passes understanding (Phil. 4:6-7), and rejoices over me. He dances and sings over my life! {all of that from Zeph. 3:17}
can I just say that there is NO ONE, NO THING as A.W.E.S.O.M.E. as MY GOD?! It's a true statement.
His love for me is extravagant, lavish, elaborate, and precious. it's perfect. it's never-ending. it's unstoppable. it's incomparable.
God, I have no idea what you're doing in my life, but I LOVE it. You've picked me up and turned me around and I am so grateful for your intervention... I needed you to do exactly this. Thank you. Please continue to mold and reshape me. Help me to refocus on you every second of the day. Use me. I want to DO something with my life... Help me to be faithful in the little things. I thank you for your opportunities to make great Your name, and look forward to making Your song resound and praises ring out all over the world. I'm living to see Your name and renown all over the world! Please increase in my life and make me decrease. Be lifted high as I bow down low!!! Take away the glory of my name until only You remain! Work in my life as you wish.
