To keep an eternal perspective…how can I do that? How can everything I do and say reflect Him in my life? It’s so easy to get bogged down in earthly circumstances, easily picking out what could be better if things were done this way, or if this person acted this way.
To see things through the eyes of Christ. To see people through the eyes of grace and not condemnation. To recognize the weaknesses in me, yet relying on His strength to accomplish the purpose He has for me, not growing faint in well doing.
To be reminded of the grace He’s shown me in times where I need to show grace to others. Where is the line between standing up against what’s wrong or where to administer grace? To have discernment to rightly divide the word of truth.
To long for Him in each area of my life, trusting Him not myself. To rely on His Spirit to guide and teach me. To be immersed in His presence…daily, moment by moment. To pray without ceasing. How is this possible? In my strength it’s not, this is where I love that He is my Father. May He be glorified!
From the inside out – Philips, Craig, & Dean
A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
And If I stumble again
I'm caught in your grace
Everlasting, Your light will shine
When all else fails
Neverending, your glory goes
Beyond all fame
My heart and my soul
I give You control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love You from the inside out
Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise
Everlasting, Your light will shine
When all else fails
Never-ending, your glory goes
Beyond all fame
My heart and my soul
I give You control
I give You control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love You from the inside out
Everlasting, Your light will shine
When all else fails
Never-ending, Your glory goes
Beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out
