happy thoughts. :)

today is All Saints Eve.
today is also Reformation Day.
tomorrow is All Saints Day.

enough said.
:D

always will I seek the glory of it all.

did you rise the sun for me?
or paint a million stars that I might know your majesty?
is your voice upon the wind?
is everything I've known marked with my Maker's fingerprints?

breathe on me
let me see
your face
ever I will seek you

cause all you are is all I want
always
draw me close
in your arms
oh God
I wanna be with you

can I feel you in the rain?
abandon all I am to have you capture me again
let the earth resound with praise
can you hear as all creation lives to glorify one name?

breathe on me
let me see
your face
ever I will seek you

cause all you are is all I want
always
draw me close
in your arms
oh God
I wanna be with you

I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
ever I will seek you
I wanna be with you

cause all you are is all I want
always
draw me close
in your arms
oh God
I wanna be with you

oh God
I wanna be with you

dear Lord,
allow me to be humbled so that I can abandon all I am to have you capture me again. while you're at it, merciful God, set your Holy Church on fire. give us one pure and holy passion so that we may shine your light throughout your universe living for Your glory, holding nothing back for the glory of Your name. allow us to become so undignified that we can shout for the glory of God in every place, invite us, woo us, so that we can be lost in you. like one of those impossible hedge mazes in europe or whatever. just like that. :)

thanks.
love,
robert.

rescue me.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are proved right when you speak and justified when you judge. Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. Surely you desire truth in the inner parts; you teach me wisdom in the inmost place. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones you have crushed rejoice. Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquity. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me from your presence or take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will turn back to you. Save me from bloodguilt, O God, the God who saves me, and my tongue will sing of your righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare your praise. You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. In your good pleasure make Zion prosper; build up the walls of Jerusalem. Then there will be righteous sacrifices, whole burnt offerings to delight you; then bulls will be offered on your altar.

Crea en mí, oh Dios, un corazón limpio, y renueva la firmeza de mi espíritu.

O Dieu! crée en moi un coeur pur, Renouvelle en moi un esprit bien disposé.

O DIO crea in me un cuore puro e rinnova dentro di me uno spirito saldo.

Schaffe in mir, Gott, ein reines Herz und gib mir einen neuen, gewissen Geist.

قَلْباً نَقِيّاً اخْلُقْ فِيَّ يَااللهُ وَرُوحاً مُسْتَقِيماً جَدِّدْ فِي دَاخِلِي.

Сърце чисто сътвори в мене, Боже. И дух постоянен обновявай вътре в мене.

mæt mig med Fryd og Glæde, lad de Ben, du knuste, juble

Lát mig heyra fögnuð og gleði, lát kætast beinin sem þú hefir sundurmarið.

하나님이여 내 속에 정한 마음을 창조하시고 내 안에 정직한 영을 새롭게 하소서

Cria em mim, ó Deus, um coração puro, e renova em mim um espírito estável.


Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.



~psalm 51

dive deep.

generation's hopee.

But as for me, I watch in hope for the LORD, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light. Because I have sinned against him, I will bear the LORD's wrath, until he pleads my case and establishes my right. He will bring me out into the light; I will see his righteousness. Then my enemy will see it and will be covered with shame, she who said to me, "Where is the LORD your God?" My eyes will see her downfall; even now she will be trampled underfoot like mire in the streets.

~micah 7:7-10

*Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the LORD will be my light. --->here I find this so beautiful. satan, you do not rule my life. you have no power to dance on my head. you have no spot in my life, for I have been bought with the blood of Christ Jesus. get thee back behind me!! yeah, durr, I'm down. I've sinned. but I'm walking in God's will. though I have fallen, I will rise.

our generation seems to fall so effortlessly into drugs, alcohol, pornography, sex, suicide, jealousy, anger, greed, lust, apathy, and so much more...

but as for me, I will rise. we will overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony, everyone, overcome!


dive deep.

so my soul longeth after thee.

Still, if you set your heart on God and reach out to him, if you scrub your hands of sin and refuse to entertain evil in your home, you'll be able to face the world unashamed and keep a firm grip on life, guiltless and fearless. You'll forget your troubles; they'll be like old, faded photographs. Your world will be washed in sunshine, every shadow dispersed by dayspring. Full of hope, you'll relax, confident again; you'll look around, sit back, and take it easy. Expansive, without a care in the world, you'll be hunted out by many for your blessing. But the wicked will see none of this. They're headed down a dead-end road with nothing to look forward to — nothing.

~job 11:13-20

neverending.

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

~isaiah 40:28-31
