I love God.

I love God because he made me
I love God because he accepts me in my needing.
I love God because he makes me come alive.
I love God because he heals what breaks me
I love God because without him there is no destiny.
I love God because without him there is no meaning.
I love God because he gave me the Holy Spirit above the counsel of even many men.
I love God because without him there is no hope. I love God because he is beauty personified
God makes ppl beautiful who hurt us.
God bridges the gap between the space we create when we open our hearts.
I love God because he gives me more than just a second chance to get it right.
I love God because Jesus gives me permission to not be perfect, but no good reason to choose sin.
I love God because he is my husband when there is no husband.
I love God because he is my provision when it seems like there's no chance of provision.
I love God because his love is strong enough to carry my heart through the dark.
I want to honor this God who has brought me through.
Renewing this vow to actively choose to faithfully give God the best of me....
All the days of my life!

As long as we breathe
A chance to make it right.
Breaking free from prejudice
and the cost of glances that cast me out
Religion an Idol that stole my name.
Mercy covers me despite the fame
Denial leaves me on the floor again
Promises that covenant can't lose.
And how can we trust what we feel
In a world which teaches us shame.
Love was intended to heal
the things that break us
are the things that make us
wielded in fire
A hinge , a tool
to break injustice into peace.
Abandoned in this place of forgiveness and grace.
The ministry of reconciliation advanced on Earth
Sacrifice my needing to honor the King above.
In a time of judgment and war.
Faith springs forth justice.
A place at the mercy seat.
In the pit I find my maker's face.
