thankful

"I take much pleasure in your praise, which blesses both me and you-putting you into proper alignment with my glorious presence.  the more you praise me, the more you will be able to reflect my glory among the peoples.  this is the work of the holy spirit, who is transforming you into my likeness with ever increasing glory.  as you draw near me through worship, i change you profoundly-empowering you to make me known to others."

this is a quote taken from my devotional my sarah young.

 ⁵ But he was pierced for our rebellion,
    crushed for our sins.
He was beaten so we could be whole.
    He was whipped so we could be healed.
⁶ All of us, like sheep, have strayed away.
    We have left God’s paths to follow our own.
Yet the Lord laid on him
    the sins of us all.
 ⁷ He was oppressed and treated harshly,
    yet he never said a word.
He was led like a lamb to the slaughter.
    And as a sheep is silent before the shearers,
    he did not open his mouth.

isaiah 53:5-7 nlt

father god, there are no words to thank you for sending your only son to die for me.  I bow down and thank you with all my heart.  I give you full control, to be your light waver!

amen
