6.26.15, Same-Sex Marriage Verdict

 "Save me, O God!  For the waters have come up to my neck.  I sink in deep mire, where there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and the flood sweeps over me.  I am weary with my crying out; my throat is parched.  My eyes grow dim with waiting for my God...  For zeal for your house has consumed me, and the reproaches of those who reproach you have fallen on me... I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify Him with thanksgiving.  This will please the Lord more than an ox or a bull with horns and hoofs.  When the humble see it, they will be glad; you who seek God, let your hearts revive. For the Lord hears the needy and does not despise His own people who are prisoners.  Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them.  For God will save Zion and build up the cities of Judah, and people shall dwell there and possess it; the offspring of His servants shall inherit it, and those who love His name shall dwell in it." (from Ps 69)

There's place for us.  A magnificent one.  One free of all that wrenches the heart of God that already dwells inside of us.  In the meantime - we have so much to rejoice about!

“God is God. … He is worthy of my worship and my service. I will find rest nowhere but in His will, and that will is … unspeakably beyond my largest notions of what He is up to.”

Charles Spurgeon, on 2 Timothy 1:9... "Those whom the Saviour saved on the cross are in due time effectively called by the power of God the Holy Spirit to holiness. They leave their sins, and they endeavor to be like Christ. They choose holiness, not out of any compulsion, but from the influence of a new nature, which leads them to     rejoice in holiness       just as naturally    as before they delighted in sin. God neither chose them nor called them because they were holy, but He called them so that they might be holy, and holiness is the beauty produced by His workmanship in them. The Christlike qualities that we see in a believer are as much the work of God as the Atonement itself.  Thus the fullness of the grace of God is brought out very sweetly... The believer's privilege is a present salvation; the evidence that he is called to it is his holy life."

the simplest of notions can put my heart at so much peace as I think about it's truth.  Bekah told me: Just STOP. Live like you are the branch on a vine... not the vine itself, Anna.   That's not what you are. I'm just a branch.  There is only one life-giving vine, and it's trying to fill me and give me what I need to thrive. I can't thrive, much less breath   all on my own.  There is only one life-giving vine, and it's not me. praise you, Lord.  Precious Lord, YOU are my vine <3  Make my heart the soft, tender heart of a child to rest in YOUR life-giving!
