iwastoldbyjesusallwaswell asked: How do I stop being so concerned with what others say and think of me? I know that the only affirmation or criticism that really matters is that of Christ, but I seem to take a whole lot of stock in that of people, especially people whose opinions should…
“But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.”

melina-mattos asked: Hey Unka, It’s been years since I’ve been facing extremely low self esteem. I’m actually getting better, but I still have a hard time believing people when they give me complements. I don’t like a lot of things about me, and I feel insecure when I’m around a group of…
This is awesome. Great idea!
They are in desperate need of your prayers. Many don’t comprehend the weight of the responsibility of the spiritual welfare of the church, and it frightens me, for it is immense. In 2 Corinthians 11 Paul lists his hardships as an apostle, and then he adds with great angst this word in verse 28:…
verse:
We are the church the world is waiting for
we’ve got a love the world is desperate for
we will lead and take to your streets
chorus:
now’s the time for us to rise
and carry hope and let love shine
and show this world that mercy is alive
now’s the time for us to rise
and carry hope to hopeless eyes
and show this world that mercy is alive
verse 2:
we’re not afraid, we will abandon all
to hear your name on lips across the world
we will run in the wake of your love
chorus:
now’s the time for us to rise
and carry hope and let love shinea
nd show this world that mercy is alive
now’s the time for us to rise
and carry hope to hopeless eyes
and show this world that mercy is alive
bridge:
fill our hearts with your compassion
let our love be active here
I love this song. Elevation worship has been a huge influence to me in the past month. They have simple, yet heart-full lyrics that really do speak what is in my heart.
God is speaking to me especially in the second verse (in bold). After going to both conferences Passion and One, I have really been challenged to abandon more. My pride, reputation, time, so that HE may increase.
Hope you enjoy =)
