He is jealous for me

Currently listening to "Where is Your Heart" by Jeff Parshall. Listen here:  www.myspace.com/jeffparshall

A good friend of mine recently said that it was like God was telling us we were part time lovers (like the Stevie Wonder song). She said that we sing about giving God our lives, but we only give Him certain parts. Other parts of our lives, we hold back and won’t let go of. This morning I read a blog from a girl I went to school with and she was saying she felt God telling her He didn’t want her words, but her heart. The two people I’m talking about live miles away and probably don’t even know each other, but God seems to be speaking the same thing-a call for His people to return to Him--wholeheartedly. And I love it when God seems to have repeating themes all over the place with people who aren’t even connected. i think it’s so amazing! But at the same time, when God is repeating the same thing to multiple people, it’s something to take notice of. The time is now...time to let go of everything and offer our entire lives to the Lord. It’s beyond my comprehension what God could do with any group who share in a heart that is completely in love with Jesus and completely surrendered to Him.

A couple years ago, someone had me listen to a Judah Smith sermon that seems to change a piece of my life every single time I listen to it. It was designed to be a new year’s sermon, but can be taken for any season of life. It’s not long, and so I challenge you to take the time to listen to it. http://generationchurch.org/audio Scroll to the bottom of the page and keep clicking older messages until you reach January 3, 2007. The sermon is called “A Blank Canvas.” (If you’re one of those people who travel a lot, it’s a great listen in the car. I’ve done it many times.)
