You Can Have Me




If I saw You on the street
And You said come and follow Me
But I had to give up everything
All I once held dear
And all of my dreams
Would I love You enough to let go
Or would my love run dry, 
When You asked for my life


When did love become unmoving?

When did love become unconsuming?

Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love You can have me
You can have me

If Your all You claim to be
Then I'm not losing anything
So I will crawl upon my knees
Just to know the joy of suffering
I will love You enough to let go
Lord I give You my life,
I give You my life!


When did love become unmoving?

When did love become unconsuming?

Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love You can have me
You can have me!



I want to be where You are! {You can have me}

I'm running into Your arms! {You can have me}

And I will NEVER look back! {You can have me}

So Jesus here is my heart!
When did love become UNMOVING?

When did love become UNCONSUMING?

Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love YOU CAN HAVE ME

When did love become unmoving?

When did love become unconsuming?

Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love You can have me
You can have me

My Father my love You can have me


I love this song...it is the cry of my heart.  I desire every part of me to live for Christ.  Yet I fail so often...  Would I follow Him into death?  I hope so.  I think so.  Maybe I would run.. like Peter did?  Until I am faced with that decision I really don't know.  Our hearts are deceptive.  Only God knows what truly lies therein.  Can I proclaim with all certainty that I will follow Christ with boldness anywhere?  No.  However, I can pray that He would change ALL the desires of my heart to line up with His...and whatever comes my way...even if it's death.. I will choose His will not my own.  It is ONLY by His grace that I would be sustained.

Until then...
Jessie

    Very precious post Jessie. So beautiful. Thank you for writing it for us to read. Loved it.

    Blessings sweet friend and thank you for leaving me comments. I wish I was home all day long. Life was simpler then. I continue to praise even though I would rather be HOME.

    Hugs, Linda

Invisible Monster

May 23, 2020, I woke to a miracle surrounding a loved one. Later, I sat in the gardens watching butterflies perch upon lavender lilacs while my Sweet Shalom giggled and chased after them. It had been a perfect day. The air was warm, but the skies overcast like a storm was about to roll in.   Life changes quickly...    The message flashed on the screen.        Wait - he's gone? Dear...I don't know what to call you, I've always wondered, with the slamming of the prison door, did you know what your choices would cost your children? Did you care?  My grandpa knew you as a kid. He was your pastor, said your parents were good people. He said you were a good kid too, but somewhere along the journey you lost your way.    You lost your way... and I was one of many that paid for your choices.      One of my last visits with you left me with a shoulder injury. The physical pain is a reminder that children should never have to v...

Judgment Loomed

As I exited the door my heart was pierced with their animosity.  Hatred and poison spewed from their lips. The savage mob encircled me with no escape.  Screaming just a breath away from my face.  Shoving with such force I was almost knocked to the ground.  Humiliated.  Tears streamed down my cheeks as I pushed through the violence.  Once inside my car I began to weep.   Even in the present their vile words reel through my mind.  Beads of sweat began to form in my tightly clinched fists.  Squirming in my chair... biting my lower lip as an attempt to hold it together.  Peering above the Pastor's head as though I was looking at him... knowing if I did I would burst into tears.  That was my experience at church this past Sunday.  To my relief the Pastor spoke words of love, life and truth NOT condemnation.  Healing and refreshing. ...

Surprise...Surprise

Wow.  It has been a  VERY  exciting morning!!!  A huge smile spread across my face as I cracked open the barn door and three new babies peeked out to greet me.  Triplets.  Soooo sweet!!  Oh.. baby goats have just stolen my heart... everything about them is pure cuteness.  My stress level has decreased tremendously now that they're all here safely, and Sally is doing great.  We now have 5 babies (4 girls and 1 boy) and two very proud mamas!  Well...three if you count me...  Sally and her kids  Oreo Emma Fudge    Unfortunately, I couldn't spend much time playing with our new additions.  We had an appointment with the  vet so we piled in the car and headed off.  The first round of baby goats needed to be dibudded (have their horns removed) and have the first round of vaccines.  Our trip was not a pleasant experience for me or my poor little goats.  Although t...
