"At the foot of the cross"

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not shouting, “I’ve been saved!”
I’m whispering, “I get lost!
That’s why I chose this way”
(...)
When I say, “I am a Christian”
I’m not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are far too visible
but God believes I’m worth it

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartache
which is why I seek His name

When I say, “I am a Christian”
I do not wish to judge
I have no authority
I only know I’m loved

I don’t want to be your savior.
I don’t want to always be your rock. I don’t want to be the thing that made you turn your life around. I don’t want to be your source of life, joy, or contentment.
I don’t want to save you.
I want God  to be all of those things for you. Because I could never measure up. I could never continue to save, inspire you, change you, and give you joy and contentment.
And I hope you feel the same way&#8230;

tmfs:: To My Future Husband:

This is going to be so long and drawn out…but I have to put it out there for you, my Love—as a challenge and as an encouragement.

I see so many girls wanting their future spouse or future relationship to “save” them from something—from some reality in their life…from the reality of their life? I…

“Unless Jesus Christ remains our first love, we’ll always be looking to a mere human to meet the deepest needs in our hearts, and we’ll always be disappointed because they are needs that only God can satisfy.”
