Nothing Else Matters But This...

The Gospel of Jesus Christ still moves me.

He came.

For me?

Amazing grace.

Lord Jesus, you are so worthy of all praise, and honor and glory!

Re: Nothing Else Matters But This...

Been sitting here all night, listening to good music and thinking about the goodness of God. I suppose, at 41, I'm just beginning to realize that God loves me.

I know that sounds simple and silly, but I've often felt like I could never be good enough for God.

People say that He loves everybody, and that is not hard for me to believe at all. With me, the real struggle begins when I personalize His love.

The idea that God loves ME is humbling.

I guess I am just beginning to emotionally personalize what I have always known mentally.

Jesus is freeing me from some things. Liberating me. Saving me.

Re: Nothing Else Matters But This...

Oh Lord You’ve searched me
You know my way
Even when I fail You
I know You love me


Your holy presence
Surrounding me
In every season
I know You love me
I know You love me


At the cross I bow my knee
Where Your blood was shed for me
There’s no greater love than this
You have overcome the grave
Your glory fills the highest place
What can separate me now


You go before me
You shield my way
Your hand upholds me
I know You love me


You tore the veil
You made a way
When You said that it is done


And when the earth fades
Falls from my eyes
And You stand before me
I know You love me
I know You love me

That's just awesome.

It's something else to realize, isn't it?

I fought for well over a year after I came back to church, over this very thing. There's no possible way God could really love me, want me. He's proven quite otherwise. What I finally understand of that love has changed, literally, everything.

At the drama tonight, a lady came - an immigrant from Bulgaria. She said she was so stirred, and moved by God's presense; "I will now come to church here every service" then inquired about the schedule...

The love and presence of God does amazing things.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
