I am not my own

As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame; As tumbled over rim in roundy wells Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell's Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name; Each mortal thing does one thing and the same: Deals out that being indoors each one dwells; Selves - goes itself, myself it speaks and spells, Crying What I do is me: for that I came." I say more, the just man justices; Keeps grace: that keeps all his goings graces; Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is - Christ - for Christ plays in ten thousand places, Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his To the Father through the features of men's faces. Gerard Manley Hopkins

Accepting Christ as Lord and Savior of my life is and will always be the best decision I've ever made. His love never fails to overwhelm me (even just writing about it brings me to tears:) and my life has never been the same since He chose me and made himself known to me.

Thank you Father for breathing life in me, for setting me free, and for loving me so much you had to claim me back. As I offer and entrust my life to you each day, help me live no longer for myself, but for your glory. Own me forever, and never let me go; and may your loveliness be seen in my life, in the eyes of the people I encounter each day, as I strive to be righteous; not by my own might, but by your Spirit who lives in me.

I live and breathe for the love of you...:)

2 Corinthians 5:17
        Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
