Discovering True Life

God makes beautiful things out of the dust. The last week or so has been full of God tearing away and building up. God continues to strip away the layers of ourselves until the deepest parts are brought to the light. When these deep places are brought to the light...this is when God dives in and washes us clean.

The 16 Days team is continuing to let God take them to these extremely deep places. He is revealing new and incredible things. Surrender is taking over their hearts. I don't think there is anything more beautiful to watch than a heart breaking and becoming totally surrendered to LOVING God with everything.

We started sharing our "hot seats"...basically our life stories. Their stories are full of God's healing physically, emotionally and spiritually. Every story has its breaking moments...where there is no other place to turn but to the Father. Through brokenness true life begins. True life begins when we realize that we have nothing. That our hearts on their own have nothing. But when God completely takes over a broken heart...THAT is where passion lives and passion grows.

God is bringing TRUE LIFE to this team...so we push forward on this journey...living in expectancy that God will do great things. We LOVE because He first LOVED...by this people will know who we are surrendered to. Greater things have yet to come...God you are good...

Abandoned Love
