all that i am

forbidden fruit

stop asking why?!?!

it is....
accept it
and as you accept it all as from Him
accept yourself

you did not choose me I chose you
to go and bear good fruit

redeemed forbidden fruit
love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control




all
only

the commandments

O God, grant Your people to love
....what you command
and to desire
....what you promise
that amid the uncertainties of this world
our hearts may be fixed on that place
where true gladness is found........

love

matthew gospels jeremiah's ...leave all and then you will have
and the two greatest....
I will worship You with all of my heart
and I will worship You with all of my mind
and I will worship You with all of my strength...
for You are my Lord, You are my Lord 
Matthew 22:37

more than commands

love

not trying

willing...desiring...wanting...doing...living

living the life you love

loving the life you live

"God can break or bend or mould, just as He chooses. You do not know why He is doing it; He is doing it for One purpose only, that He may be able to say, 'This is My man, My woman.' Never choose to be a worker, but when once God has put His call on you, woe be to you if you turn to the right hand or to the left. God will do with you what He never did with you before the call came; He will do with you what He is not doing with other people. Let Him have His way." --Oswald Chambers, in Approved Unto God from The Quotable Oswald Chambers.

beloved...

he who learns must suffer

and even in our sleep

pain which cannot forget

falls drop by drop 

upon the heart

until in our own despair

against our will

comes wisdom

through the awful grace of God
