rediscovering eden
Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the bright and morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart
Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are
I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
A vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours
Who Am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again
Who Am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
I am Yours
who we are
Most happening...

yO yO yO,
Okay if you havent watched evan almighty and want to watch it and a spoiler would totally ruin everything, don't read the following post =)
Today I got the chance to sit down and watch Evan Almighty.
It's a pretty good movie i thought, especially with the way it made me consider some issues.
There was a scene where Evan first sees 'God' and goes, "Do i know you?"
God says, "
Not as well as I hope"
Wow, when He said that, it totally blew my mind away.
First thought was, my gosh, will God say that to me?
Have I done enough for Him?
Would I build Him an ark?
Even if He sent all the materials and all I needed to build it, to my doorstep?
If God wrote me a letter to respond to that question, i think this is what He would say.
I'm not asking you to build me an ark,
I'm asking you to tell the world that I am God, that I can give them what they always seem to be searching for - real life.
All the materials you could possibly need will be sent to you.
Find enclosed in your spirit, My spirit.
I will guide you every single step of the way.
But now let me ask you, Will you do it?Its really mind boggling how easily we fall back to the patterns of the world.
*I hear a round of 'yea's
Hahah i hate to be the spoiler for all those who havent watched the movie, but You'll still enjoy it after reading this I'm sure. =)
There was a scene, where Evan's wife gets edgy about the whole God-told-me-to-build-an-ark thing and says, This has Got to stop. It's ruining our lives.
Doesn't that remind you so much of us?
How sometimes when we stand up to do something for God, somebody comes along and tells you to stop, its going to ruin your life.
But Evan didn't stop, even when his family left him, he didnt stop.
He built the ark, and when eventually the flood came - on a SUN SHINY day I might add, everybody was saved.
See what obedience brings us?
It may ruin the life you Think you had, but you have No idea what He has prepared for you after that.
I know how easy it is to say, Yes I will do what You ask, send me and I will go
but when it comes to actually standing up for Christ....
Will you be the one to stand when everyone else refuses to?
Have a think about it.
Love you to bits,
Bea
