Happiness was given. He is Forever Holy.
Its Friday and all week I have seemed to be without joy, but praying that Jesus would fill me with joy. Praying that I would serve Him well even in this time. I failed a lot this wk. Repentance continued. And hope for joy seemed to not always be there. But I know Jesus is good. This morning I was feeling tired, not really wanting to do anything.. but I served my family breakfast, folded laundry (still need to finish putting it all away).. I helped my girls put the puzzle pieces in the right spots.. and Jesus came. Jesus came near and began filling me with joy. The girls had gotten headphones for Christmas and they began to listen and dance, taking turns.. I grabbed my camera and began doing what I love.. photographing. So through the joy that Jesus brings through my girls and the love I have for capturing moments through a lens, a smile came, my heart was filled with happiness… So I began snapping, trying to be extra creative.. We listened to music, read a book, painted, played with potato heads…. so much fun!!!
And here I am, edited the photos and posting them to show the world that this Friday morning was filled with JESUS, filled with laughter, smiles and fun… happiness was given!!! I also listened to this song over and over.. this song was a gift to me this wk. I have listened to it many times before, but this wk and along with with this morning, this song was redeeming for me… a reminder of how good Jesus is. A reminder that Jesus has and continues to pour His grace out on me. He is forever HOLY.
God, You stand when all has fallen.
You embrace the long forgotten.
I guess it’s just hard to believe the grace You pour out on me.
I guess I’m just starting to see how You’re working in me.
This is what makes my head spin.
You’re forever holy.
God of all creation, pour Your life into me.
This is so overwhelming.
You’re forever holy.
God of my salvation, clothe me in Your glory.
God, You hold when all is breaking.
You restore the tired and aching.
I guess it’s just hard to believe the love You pour out on me.
I guess I’m just starting to see how You’re working in me.
