Fall

Today I was looking back through my old posts, and I found this. Hope you enjoy!

Today I was thinking about God's grace, how he was kind enough to rescue all of us from death ourselves, and sending his son to die on the cross instead. His design was amazing, having Jesus rise from the dead in three days. As you can probably tell, I've been reading Matthew 27-30. It is an amazing account of how Jesus was self-less and willing to have God's will be done. In a way, it's almost like the falling leaves outside. This Faith Fire catches, like a single leave on a tree. One changes color, and then they all start to. But you may find a few that just go from green to brown a crumpled, laying on the cold, hard dirt. But rarely will you find a tree with only a single leaf. Unless you

  1. Don't go grocery shopping
  2. don't go to church
  3. don't go to school
  4. Stay in your room all day, letting no one in, and
  5. Don't talk to anybody
You're not a single leaf on a bare tree. That leaf is solitary. You are not! Trees have at least a hundred leaves in most cases. If you're the only unique- colored leaf in your enviroment, spread the fire: Live and Testify to Jesus.

Another Favorite Of Mine

Revelation by Third Day
My life, Has led me down the road that's so uncertain And now I am left alone and I am broken, Trying to find my way, Trying to find the faith that's gone This time, I know that you are holding all the answers I'm tired of losing hope and taking chances, On roads that never seem, To be the ones that bring me home Chorus: Give me a revelation, Show me what to do Cause I've been trying to find my way, I haven't got a clue Tell me should I stay here, Or do I need to move Give me a revelation I've got nothing without You I've got nothing without You My life, Has led me down this path that's ever winding Through every twist and turn I'm always finding, That I am lost again (I am lost again) Tell me when this road will ever end Chorus: I don't know where I can turn Tell me when will I learn Won't You show me where I need to go Oh oh Let me follow Your lead, I know that it's the only way that I can get back home Chorus: Oh, give me a revelation... I've got nothing without You I've got nothing without You

Lead Me To The Cross by Chris And Conrad

Savior I come
I quiet my soul remember Redemptions hill
Where Your blood was spilled
For my ransom
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost
Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees Lord
I lay me down
Rid me of myself I belong to You
Lead me, lead me to the cross
You were as I
Tempted and trialed You are
The word became flesh
Bore my sin and death
Now you're risen
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost
Lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees Lord
I lay me down
Rid me of myself I belong to You
Lead me, lead me to the cross
Lead me to your heart
Lead me to your heart
This is one of my favorite songs. It reminds me that everyday, I am living for Jesus. It has been known to bring me to tears occasionally. While other people are living for other things in the world, I live for Christ. And while they look better off on the inside, I know that it is I that really has the better road.
