relentless love.

I was on the phone with one of my dear dear friends tonight.  

We were catching up on life.  

missions trips. school. guys. friends. ministry. church. all of it. How merciful the Cross. We are praying together... for kids, about life, for the future... and it's totally refreshing.  The thing is, we started going back and forth with name after name with kids that need Jesus. 

and it broke our hearts. 

name

after 

name.

//Jesus we need You so desperately.  change us and use us. 

I just realize so much how much I want to be consumed with the Creator instead of the things created. My friend and I have grown up together and as we have grown even closer over this past year.. we've been learning so much of the same stuff - it's been CRAZZYY.  We talk again and it's like all we can do is nod and say "YYESS THAT'S ME TOO!!"  God is so awesome like that.  I realize once again that we just need God so much.  A mighty fortress is Jesus Christ.

//Jesus keep our eyes on You.  Keep our hearts on You.  

name after name. 

burning in our hearts.

name after name. 

//Jesus keep our eyes on Your Mission.  A Mighty Fortress is Our God. 

and I realize that in this,

I lay down my life.

I surrender my heart.

I lay down my plans.

I surrender my dreams.

And I love Him with all my heart. 

I focus on those names..
and pray for these people
that need Jesus.
that need His Love.

and pray that this Love that has so desperately changed my life
might relentlessly take over theirs forever.

//that is our prayer.
