He Is Perfect

I have found that I do not understand all the things God is doing, He sees the big picture, I see a little glimpse of it. I miss the very things around me that He may be doing. It is like my focus is on a little dot on a map, instead of seeing the whole thing. It is so easy to miss that God has a plan for me, I am walking that plan, yes I have choices, I have desistions to make, but it is up to me to make the right choices, because that is why He is where He is and I am here. I am not perfect and I am still learning and growing. In the choices that I make when I keep Him at the center, I make the choices He wants me to make, when I put myself in the center, I start making the wrong choices.

Today are you looking at yourself and making the choices? Or are you putting God first in all you do? Surrender to Him, allow Him to lead your way, allow Him to be your strength. He has given us the peace that passes all understanding, it comes down to our choices, are we going to surrender to Him or are we going to try and do it ourselves.

I woke up singing this song. Remember that He is a good good father and He is here to take the burden you carry and walk through the day with you. We just have to keep our eyes focused on Him, not on all we have to do, but on Jesus Christ, that is what He is there for.

"Good Good Father"

Oh, I've heard a thousand stories of what they think you're like
But I've heard the tender whisper of love in the dead of night
And you tell me that you're pleased
And that I'm never alone

You're a Good, Good Father
It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am

Oh, and I've seen many searching for answers far and wide
But I know we're all searching
For answers only you provide
Cause you know just what we need
Before we say a word

You're a Good, Good Father
It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am

Cause you are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways to us

You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways to us

Oh, it's love so undeniable
I, I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable
I, I can hardly think

As you call me deeper still [x3]
Into love, love, love

[x3:]
You're a Good, Good Father
It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am

You're a Good, Good Father
(You are perfect in all of your ways)
It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are
And I'm loved by you
(You are perfect in all of your ways)
It's who I am, it's who I am it's who I am

This is Amazing Grace

God has the most amazing grace. He hand selected each of us to walk the roads we are on, He picked us to go through the easy and the hard. He is with us through it all. God's Grace is amazing, His Love is unexplainable, He is unconditional and what a teacher He is to us, we have so much to learn from Him and it is all there waiting for us to make the choice to go deeper. He is the one that can break the power of sin and darkness, He is the one that can set us free from our old ways and so we can continue being transformed into what He longs for us to be.

Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." When we seek Him first before anyone else, we find the answers we are looking for, trust Him, He will reveal the truth through it all, but we have to seek Him first.

The song I have been singing all day is "This Is Amazing Grace" and I wanted to share it, because we can't explain the power of God. Isn't it time to surrender so that we may be set free. He wants to set us free, don't just sing it, live it.

"This Is Amazing Grace"

[Verse 1:]
Who breaks the power of sin and darkness
Whose love is mighty and so much stronger
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder
And leaves us breathless in awe and wonder
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

[Chorus:]
This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That You would take my place
That You would bear my cross
You lay down Your life
That I would be set free
Oh, Jesus, I sing for
All that You've done for me

[Verse 2:]
Who brings our chaos back into order
Who makes the orphan a son and daughter
The King of Glory, the King of Glory

Who rules the nations with truth and justice
Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy, worthy, worthy
Oh
