Captivating

For so long God has been trying to show me exactly how incredibly captivating I am to him. God has really been pursuing my heart like crazy. But I have been too stubborn to let him take control of it. I have been to preoccupied with trying to be so put together and so godly to try and get a certain guy to like me. When that is not what is important in the least bit. What is important is that my heart belongs to Jesus my true bridegroom!
 He is amazing and has done some awesome things in my life in the past 8 months that I will never forget. One that still makes me all giddy inside happened back this past spring. I had been having such a stressful time with school and trying to lose weight and so many things were just weighing heavy upon my shoulders. I was downstairs in my dorm at the time watching a movie with some of the girls. My roommate just  happened to be gone that weekend. Well after having some fun girl time I went upstairs to my dorm room and put on some worship music. The next hour would change some things within me forever. One of my favorite songs came on called "You won't relent" came on and following that came "Your love Never fails".

You Won't Relent
You won't relent
Until You have it all
My heart is Yours
I'll set You as a seal upon my heart
As a seal upon my arm
For there is love that is as strong as death
Jealousy demanding as the grave
And many waters cannot quench this love
Come be the fire inside of me
Come be the flame upon my heart
Come be the fire inside of me
Until You and I are one

Your Love Never Fails
Nothing can separate
Even if I ran away
Your love never fails
I know I still make mistakes
But You have new mercies for me everyday
Your love never fails
Chorus:
You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage
I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that You love me
Your love never fails
Verse 2:
The wind is strong and the water's deep
But I'm not alone in these open seas
Cause Your love never fails
The chasm is far too wide
I never thought I'd reach the other side
But Your love never fails

As these songs were playing I just fell on my face and wept. I prayed out to God and asked him to help me just with all the burdens I had put upon myself. And then I felt just this instant peace and I stood up and began to sing the words and dance around my room. As I was just praising God and just reveling in the joy I felt I heard God speak to me. He told me "Daughter you can always find this joy let me take control. Rest in this my daughter and let me take the reigns." I smiled and gave God my all. Then the song "O happy day" came on.


O Happy Day

Verse 1 :
Greatest day in history
Death is beaten
You have rescued me
Sing it out Jesus is alive !
The empty cross, the empty grave
life eternal
You have won the day
Shout it out Jesus is alive !
He is alive !
Chorus :
Oh happy day, happy day !
You wash my sin away !
Oh happy day, happy day !
I'll never be the same
Forever I am changed !
Verse 2 :
When I stand in that place
Free at last
Meeting face to face
I am yours Jesus you are mine.
 Endless joy, perfect peace
Earthly pain finally will cease
Celebrate Jesus is alive !
He is alive !
 Chorus :
Oh happy day, happy day !
You wash my sin away !
Oh happy day, happy day !
I'll never be the same
 Oh happy day, happy day !
You wash my sin away !
Oh happy day, happy day !
I'll never be the same
Forever I am changed !
Bridge :
Oh what a glorious day !
what a glorious way
that you have save me !
Oh what a glorious day !
what a glorious name
Jesus !
Chorus :
Oh happy day, happy day !
You wash my sin away !
Oh happy day, happy day !
I'll never be the same
No no no no
Forever I am changed
by your blood, by your grace Oh God !
Forever I am changed !
Bridge :
Oh what a glorious day !
what a glorious way
that you have save me !


As the song played I continued to just dance and praise my savior for all he had done for him. It was such an incredible moment in my relationship with God that I will treasure always. When God has control of my life I always have the most joy and I pray I will continue to remember this so that I will continue to give him control and just rest in his peace and assurance he gives me, and the joy he fills my soul with.
