spent this morning worshipping alongside of the langa baptist church family again, where the pastor brought a message from genesis all about staying connected to the Source of Life itself. what always speaks volumes louder than any words, though, is the spirit in which the people here worship. i'm continually blessed to just sit back & watch (which is a good thing since i often don't understand what they're saying anyway)! they greet one another with a such a huge smile, a kiss and a warm embrace...and they worship arm-in-arm, hand-in-hand (not to mention the dancing)! truly is a small glimpse into what i envision the ongoing worship in heaven will be like!
this morning at the end of the service a number of parents brought children to the stage where the pastor laid hands on them & together they dedicated the kids to the Father. spent the afternoon clearing out some rooms in the house, continuing to organize school supplies & ministry inventory.
finished the day with a little guitar reuinion that was long overdue. 2 of my favorite songs came to mind - "before the throne" & "You won't relent." if you've never heard them...you should. just saying...you'll be blessed by them. one is a beautifully-put picture of the gospel & the other straight from song of solomon 8:6-7!
"when satan tempts me to despair & tells me of the guilt within, upward i look & see Him there who made an end to all my sin. because the sinless Savior died, my sinful soul is counted FREE. for God the just is satisfied to look on Him & pardon me...to look on Him & pardon me. hallelujah...praise the One, risen Son of God!"
"You won't relent until You have it all. my heart is Yours...i'll set You as a seal upon my heart, as a seal upon my arm. for there is Love that is as strong as death, jealousy demanding as the grave. & many waters cannot quench this Love...You won't relent until You have it al my heart is Yours...come be the fire inside of me. come be the flame upon my heart. come be the fire inside of me until You & i are one."
