My Whole Life

I was born to reflect the image of a God who is powerful enough to create my universe, attentive enough to hear my prayers and loving enough to be defined by self-sacrifice. I find my greatest fulfillment on a journey toward purpose and wholeness.

"He looked upon the King in His beauty, and self was forgotten. He beheld the majesty of holiness, and felt himself to be inefficient and unworthy. He was ready to go forth as Heaven's messenger, unawed by the human, because he had looked upon the Divine. He could stand erect and fearless in the presence of earthly monarchs, because he had bowed low before the King of kings"

          Desire of Ages, page 104 from the chapter, 'The voice in the wilderness'

     For me to make sense of the short paragraph above I would make a few changes to help you understand the meaning a little better, Isaiah .. “looked upon the King in His beauty as he read bowed low before God, and self was forgotten. He beheld the majesty of holiness, and felt himself to be inefficient and unworthy.” ...Yet despite his unworthiness … He was ready to go forth as Heaven's messenger, unawed by the human, because he had looked upon the Divine. He could stand erect and fearless in the presence of earthly monarchs, because he had bowed low before the King of kings.”

    Have a look into your own heart. Do you want to go forth as Heaven’s messenger like Isaiah and John the Baptist did? The key to the matter is to behold the King in His beauty. We do that as we read of God’s will and as we deliberately look for God’s presence all around us.

    Our song, “When I need someone to talk to” is by ‘The Chuck Wagon Gang’. If someone could tell me something about them, and what a chuck wagon is, I would appreciate it. Thank you for your choice Bryn.  Click on the picture to see the video and hear the song.

Heaven is our real home. I had heard of Loretta Lynn but never heard her sing, I’m glad that Bryn has chosen her singing, ‘In the Sweet by and By.” Please click on the picture to listen
