Quotable Tuesday

I would call this Bravehearted quotes. Bravehearted quotes are quotes that challenges a life that leaves no drop of unrighteousness, compromise and defeat, for the glory of the Mighty God. It challenges a life fully surrendered to the cross, without leaving hint for the flesh. That is the life I desire. That is the life God called us to have.

These quotes are taken from one of the documentation of Ellerslie students at Ellerslie (http://issuu.com/BenMcElmurray/docs/ep-special-issue/11). I love reading it because it makes me want to surrender more to the Lord. Reading about them and what God has done encourages me to live a life worthy of the Gospel. It makes me be willing to be used by God all the more. It makes me see all the more how great and awesome is our God. It makes me desire and hunger to seek God more. He is WORTHY.

I have learned so much in the past month. God has pruned me, broke me then restored me. God has continued to prove Himself faithful. The Holy Spirit has convicted me of so many ugly things in my heart. He then provided His guidance, love and revelation upon revelation in every area and that made me repent completely and die to myself. He set me free from those filthy ugly things. I have grown because of that. I am not the person I used to be. I am made NEW. Praise the Lord! I continue to grow in His love with His calling on my forehead and Jesus in my heart. I wait in expectation as He take me deeper into His presence and prepare me for the Higher calling He has planned in my life. He is amazing. Beyond words.

One day, I will be in Ellerslie for one year set-apart season. I am believing God in that. ;) There is nothing impossible with God.
