breathe

This has been stuck in my head all day - God, cause it to become stuck in my spirit as well.

Breathe on me, breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do.

Breathe on me, breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until with Thee I will one will,
To do and to endure.

Breathe on me, breath of God,
Blend all my soul with Thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine.

Breathe on me, breath of God,
So shall I never die,
But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity.

what really matters

"Surely God will not listen to empty talk, nor will the Almighty regard it. Although you say you do not see Him, Yet justice is before Him, and you must wait for Him."

~Job 35:13-14

"The glory of the LORD shall be revealed,
And all flesh shall see it together;
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken…

Behold, the nations are as a drop in a bucket,
And are counted as the small dust on the scales;
Look, He lifts up the isles as a very little thing…

Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
The everlasting God, the LORD,
The Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary.
His understanding is unsearchable."

~parts of Isaiah 40 (read the whole thing)
