I heard this song (Gaither Vocal Band) while watching Charles Stanley and tonight I found the video and lyrics. I played it over and over and have made it my song to Jesus as well. Let it be your song too. Enjoy!

lancaster realtors: Trusting Jesus as your Lord and Savior is a dangerous thing! Walking Away from God.
- 07/25/10 12:54 AM
Like the prodigal son who decided to walk away from his family, we too have a free will. When we make the decision to commit to Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior we gain both responsibility as well as great liability. The responsibility involves being a witness to the love of Jesus, following His Word and doing what the Lord tells us to do. It is a disciplined life; like it or not. The liability occurs when we walk away from God. Those who do walk away decide to live their lives for themselves or to be free from restraint. But why? Sometimes it's … (50 comments)
lancaster realtors: Thermometer or Thermostat?
- 09/26/09 12:43 AM
My thermostat is probably the most versatile item in my house because it allows me to maintain a constant environment effortlessly with the touch of a finger. Unlike a thermometer that changes constantly a thermostat keeps things steady. When I speak with women who are experiencing challenges it is amazing how some change their attitude and words even their countenance to reflect their circumstances. There are also others who go with the flow of life's ups and downs and like a see-saw, they hold on while riding the highs and lows without falling off. If you're like me, I smile at the risk of … (0 comments)

I will celebrate my birthday this coming Saturday and unlike my oldest son who claims he can remember when he was in my womb (no kidding!), today during my time with the Lord, I thought about the reason why I was created. Having lived 50 years on this earth, the answer as to why The Father made me came quite effortlessly. Opening my bible I went to Psalm 20:4. I noticed this verse was dated last year in 2008 when He first spoke these words to me. "May the Lord grant you according to your heart's desire and fulfill all your purpose." Psalm … (22 comments)
lancaster realtors: MySpace is HIS space.
- 01/21/09 11:54 PM
Living with kids can be challenging especially as a single parent. Yet challenging is probably an understated word, more like treacherous at times especially in those golden moments when it's a toss up between watching the newest Hanna Montana episode, Man vs. Wild or Flip This House. Regardless, one universal word comes to mind when I think of my space -- exhausting. Thank goodness my space has become His space; that abiding shelter of His Presence where peace and rest are found in abundance. My choice to live with God in His space relinquishes the demands of time and energy once … (6 comments)
lancaster realtors: A Prayerful Quest For God
- 12/23/08 03:20 AM
The life of the Cross carries with it "an obedience unto the death of the self-life" -- that is; reaching the place of total dependency on God in all things. It is not feasible, possible or desirable to 'depend upon our own understanding' rather to be filled with the continual presence of the Holy Spirit to do the will of God. In John 4:34, "Jesus said to them, My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish this work." (NKJV) Jesus lived to do God's will. He is the only pathway to our spiritual satisfaction. When … (4 comments)
lancaster realtors: The Point Of Grace
- 11/18/08 12:39 AM
The Point Of Grace In early October some of us with the Lancaster Community Choir were asked to sing with Point Of Grace at their Christmas concert being held in December. On the way home from practice last night I thought about the phrase 'point of grace' and its meaning in my life. What is this marvelous grace that was given to us by God? By definition grace is "unmerited favor" or good will. Another definition is "a manifestation of favor, esp. by a superior." Manifestation being that which has already been revealed. In the point of grace, it is the love poured out … (4 comments)
lancaster realtors: Where's the Dummies Guide To TWITTER-ing?? Help!
- 11/02/08 09:38 PM
So give me an extra hour to sleep in Sunday morning and what do I do? -- I get up at the designated time my pre-programmed brain wakes me at 5:30am except in this case it was an hour earlier. After making the coffee, placing 2 slices or Organic whole-grain live sprout bread in the toaster and powering up the pc, I prepare to do what every reasonable agent does at this time in the morning, I BLOG. Noticing that AR allows me to "Announce new blog posts on your Twitter feed," my inquiring mind wants to know what is this wonderful thing called TWITTER? … (14 comments)

lancaster realtors: The best defense to the worst offense is LOVE.
- 08/07/08 03:21 PM
I am truly amazed that the art of being offended and giving an offense have been raised to a new level of Christian etiquette. Why is it that many Believers wish for peace, even speak about it, but do not follow the things that make for peace? And what are the things that make for peace except humility, meekness, self-denial, and love? How does a child of God edify another while quarreling and contending? Remember Jacob? He actually contended with God and got his hip knocked out of joint, for pete's sake! Romans 14:19-21 states, "Therefore let us pursue the things … (16 comments)
lancaster realtors: What's In Your Love Tank?
- 07/15/08 04:16 PM
Today during a walk around my neighborhhod with a friend, we talked about how our personal lives get so busy. Whether in business or ministry or both, our lives continually feed into the lives of others. If we aren't careful we can overextend oursleves, even to the point of burnout. As Believers we are called to walk in God's love. Let me put it another way. Love requires selfless giving. It demands of ourselves, the ability to nurture and nourish the lives of others. Jesus always walked in love by giving of Himself to people without regard as to whether or not His … (22 comments)
lancaster realtors: Tonight's no title blog. :)
- 06/30/08 02:48 PM
Within the past 5 days I had in front of me a choice to make -- one which seemed right, looked right and in other people's opinion, it was right. Having walked with Jesus since April 1982, I have learned through trial after trial that without the peace of God, I'm headed for a fall or at the very least, a bumpy ride in whatever decision I have to make. Tonight I began to feel weary from these past emotional and exhausting days which shredded my peace and created such turmoil within my spirit and soul that I couldn't sleep, think or concentrate. After coming … (6 comments)
lancaster realtors: Feel The Power!
- 06/28/08 01:09 PM
Living in Lancaster County, PA. gives me opportunity to see and witness the Amish people and their lifestyle. Oftentimes I pass by large open farmland and watch in amazement how farming is done by horse drawn equipment and metal wheels. Many times the power of these huge beasts is placed in the hands of a child, sometimes as young as 12 or 13. Watching such a task amazes me. These horses esteem power and strength well beyond the ability of the young child to control. With a sure grip on the reins he guides the beasts and accomplishes the task at … (10 comments)
lancaster realtors: Want a piece of Me?
- 06/27/08 04:20 PM
I love it when I hear proverbial words regarding the peace of God. How many times in scripture does He mention His peace? Actually, 429 times in the King James version - with the first occurrance in Genesis 15:15, "Now as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age."NKJV Not only does God want you to have a real piece of Him [His love, His Presence, His Spirit], He also desires to freely and abundantly give you His precious peace. For myself, I have one and only one way of physically verifying … (12 comments)
lancaster realtors: Please allow me to share.
- 06/22/08 11:55 AM
Today was an exciting and a receiving day for me. Please allow me share. During my Open House I began reading a book called, "Humility" by Andrew Murray. I couldn't put it down even trying to hold it under my arm while chatting with buyers. This book speaks of the humility of Jesus from His incarnation and life on earth to His atonement, ascension and exaltation to the Throne Room of God and explains that humility is the secret of redemption. I recommend it for anyone. But before my day started I listened to a CD that I hadn't heard for … (16 comments)
In v2 it talks about the virgins themselves - 5 wise and 5 foolish. Growing up I thought all virgins were well, smart if not wise. More on that later. Anyway, v3 tells us that the foolish virgins actually took no oil with them. Not quite a good thing. In v4 it speaks of the wise ladies who took oil in their vessels then in v5 when the bridegroom was delayed they all fell asleep! Now, I've never fallen asleep waiting … (8 comments)
lancaster realtors: TRUE LOVE
- 06/17/08 05:55 AM
To walk in true love is to abide in the righteousness of God by His example. Knowing the character of God [love] prompts believers to see with their spirit those things in the world [the lust of the flesh, self, pride] and to recognize when this is operating in one's life. Self-exalting behavior is not walking in love. It is also nothing more than the desire to elevate oneself over and above God's Word. Let's look at this. Do you need to pat yourself on the back for your accomplishments rather than seeking God's approval? Are you less than content when … (15 comments)
lancaster realtors: got milk?
- 06/10/08 01:36 PM
- got milk? Yes, that's a need for many of us; babies, children and adults alike. But what if you ran out of milk on a Saturday morning as you finished baking chocolate chip cookies? Well, you either do without the milk and get it later or rush off to the nearest grocery store and get it now. Right?
God supplies our need. The Lord promises in His Word to "supply all of our need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19) It is a done deal, already established in heaven only to be manifest in one's life. The direct manifestation … (16 comments)
lancaster realtors: Addicted to Love.
- 06/06/08 11:14 PM
Each night as I prepare for sleep and crawl in to the warmth and softness of my bed the anticipation of my night of romance begins. Slowly and methodically, particularly and intentionally, I prepare myself for the King. Like Ester, my bath water may contain the oil of myrrh, frankincense, lilies or roses. (My thoughts return to a special moment during a time of intense worship that the oil of spikenard was revealed to me -- the scent remained for a season). As most women do we have a nighttime routine of perhaps moisturizing every dry soft on our skin or delight … (19 comments)
