Matthew 13:44
I love this verse, I love that the man in his JOY went and sold ALL that he had and bought the field. Ultimately, this man found Jesus, and found this love and grace, and said "Wow! I'm getting rid of everything else in my life, literally everything and buying into this, because this is absolutely amazing!" Nothing else matters when we find the best thing, we find that everything else that we were chasing after becomes meaningless, literally chasing after the wind! Imagine someone actually chasing after wind! How silly right? That's what I look like when I chase after prosperity, position, promotions, or popularity! All these things we chase after become so meaningless when you find the real thing! We want the real thing God, and we will fight for it!
When am I going to completely turn away, and sell everything else in my life that is hoarding my time and lying to me saying that it is more important than my time with God and tell these things they can't have that time anymore? When are we going to sell everything?
In his joy he went and sold everything he had, Jesus was the new source of his joy! I just think that is the coolest thing ever.
And the cool thing is that God can turn all of the things that we had before into tools for him, it's all about having God as The Lord of your life and then everything else will fall into place, you won't even have to worry about it. Because you know so well that God is going to take care of you and your situation!
Thank you God for putting the people in my life that you have. I'm ready to put everything I have into buying this field because I know your Holy Spirit power is doing absolutely amazing things in my life, and preparing me for interactions I will have years from now. Thank you God for equipping me, for making me stronger, and for giving me a heart for the broken.
Joy
We're choosing celebration
Breaking into freedom
You're the song
You're the song
Of our hearts
We cast aside our shadows
Trust You with our sorrows
You're the song
You're the song
Of our hearts
We're dancing to the rhythm of Your heart
We're rising from the ashes to the stars
You're the joy joy joy lighting my soul
The joy joy joy making me whole
Though I'm broken, I am running
Into Your arms of love
The pain will not define us
Joy will reignite us
You're the song
You're the song
Of our hearts
The dark is just a canvas
For Your grace and brightness
You're the song
You're the song
Of our hearts
We're dancing to the rhythm of Your heart
We're rising from the ashes to the stars
You're the joy joy joy lighting my soul
The joy joy joy making me whole
Though I'm broken, I am running
Into Your arms of love
You're the joy
The song in my heart
The hope of my soul
In the shadows
In the sorrows
In the desert
When the pain hits
You are constant
Ever-present
You're the song of my heart
You're the joy joy joy lighting my soul
The joy joy joy making me whole
Though I'm broken, I am running
Into Your arms of love
