Bless your name, Lord Jesus!

The longer I live, the surer I am that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. He is all that is worthy to live for. He is my life. Who else has the words of eternal life? There is no other name under the earth or in heaven that has the authority that the name of Jesus has. He saves me from all of my fears!
May my soul boasts in the Lord and may I never be afraid to declare your name in front of sinners. bless your name, Lord Jesus! Bless your name.

I put all my trust in God

I put all my trust in God. Jesus is the Rock that is higher than I. When I am full of fear, I will run into his tower of protection. I have decided to trust the Lord Jesus fully, walking away from all my sinful ways, and having a single focus. My focus is Jesus Christ the Son of God. He is altogether beautiful. My eyes will be turned away from worthless things and be turned to him.

Although my basic needs are not met

Although my basic needs are not met  

Let alone those things I had violently prayed for 

Yet I will praise the LORD                                 

Not my will but yours be done!

I know it is lost

I know it is lost  

It is in the abyss of silence 

That such a comely face 

Amiable personality 

Enviable azure eyes  

Will not bend to my will. 

I carry this cross 

But it is too hard to bear. 

On the edge of my mind 

Madness glares back in the abyss of her silence.

I have to deal with my own sorrows

I have to deal with my own sorrows 

No one else can feel it for me. 

I have to enjoy my own happiness 

No one else can feel the depth of its satisfaction for me.

She tells me to be realistic

She tells me to be realistic 

I told her I’m stuck in a dream 

She wanted me to take action 

But I felt it was superficial 

She reminded me of the facts 

But I still believed it was all a lie 

She says I’m disorganized and a mess 

But I said all my pieces are on the floor 

And I'm creating a beautiful picture

Miscellanies 128

Perhaps I understand why David in the psalms preached to his own soul. Some would consider it an oddity but it makes sense. Indeed for the Christian, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. The Christian is often his own worst enemy.

I know that I am my own worst enemy. I know how to be constantly happy. Yet I do the things that make me unhappy.

Consider this, namely, that the Christian is sealed with the Holy Spirit and has Him as a permanent residence. The Christian's body is a temple and one of the Christian's duty is to not grieve the Holy Spirit but be in step with the Spirit. yet how many of us daily grieve the Spirit? By grieving Him we cause ourselves to be miserable because we can bear no fruit of joy.

Woe is that Christian who is happy whilst the Spirit inside of Him is grieving.
