Theft...a thing of...beauty?

So I got robbed...again. This is the second time in the past month and kinda heartbreaking. There are a few things I'm learning though about God in all of this. First of all, he's way bigger than I'll ever be. It seems that whenever I have things under control, he finds/makes a way to show me that I am nothing and that I DO indeed need him. Another important lesson is that my stuff is just that. Stuff. How can I ever say that God has all my being and all my heart, when I have so much knitted into the personal things and material posesions that I get so bent out of shape when all of a sudden half my DVD's are gone, or my projector is gone. Why is it that I "love" these things so much that I have to loose them to realize that I "love" them? Who knows...and I believe that is the beauty of theft.

Savior King

I'm sitting here in my "cloffice" (closet/office) at church listening to the song "Savior King" off the same titled Hillsong album. It amazes me the passion they have for not only their music but for just worshiping God with full hearts of praise. To sing a simple chorus that says

We love you Lord,
We worship you,
You are our God,
You alone are good...

This is the cry that I want my heart to have. To care about nothing else, or nobody else but to be able to wholly worship my Savior King no matter what is going on around me. I struggle with this, but I believe that God is growing me into a young man that is passionate about life. My deepest desire is to be able to be fully and completely passionate about God alone, and I do believe Life will follow...

And now the weak say I have strength
By the spirit of power that raised Christ from the dead
And now the poor stand and confess
That my portion is ? and I'm more blessed


Let now our hearts burn with a flame
A fire consuming all for your Son's holy name
And with the heavens we declare
You are our king


We love you Lord, we worship you
You are our God, you alone are good

You asked your Son to carry this
The heavy cross our weight of sin

I love you Lord, I worship you
Hope which was lost, now stands renewed
I give my life to honor this
The love of Christ, the savior king


Let now your church shine as the bride
That you soar in your heart as you offered up your life
Let now the lost be welcomed home
By the saved and redeemed those adopted as your own


I give my life to honor this
The love of Christ, the savior king
