He turns ashes into beauty,
Slaves into princes,
Darkness into light,
Waste into treasure.
But He wants all or nothing,
Hot or cold,
Surrender or self,
Lose or find.
Either I wash your feet
Or you have no part in Me;
Give up everything
Or not follow Me at all.
For the exalted One dwells on a high and holy place,
As well as with the contrite and lowly in spirit (Isa 57:15).
He does not faint or become tired (Isa 40:28),
But He is wearied with our lukewarm sacrifices (Mal 1:6-14).
Offer Me a grain offering pure, unmixed, undivided,
Or you uselessly kindle fire on my altar (Mal 1:10)!
Love Me with all your heart and all your soul (Deut 11:13),
Or you don’t love Me at all.

love the ocean - God made it for Himself
About Me
- YK
- In the Old Testament in the Bible, there was a man named Jacob who "wrestled with God and man." He wouldn't let God go until God answered his prayers. God admired that and renamed him Israel, "the one who fought or wrestled and prevailed". He fought with man--his inner man--and conquered his own weaknesses. He's my hero. He is what I hope God and man see me to be.
