Rizpah: I Belong

I Belong

Not angels, nor demons, no power on earth or heaven

Not distance, nor danger, no trouble now or ever

**************~~~*************

Pre Chorus

Nothing can take me from your great love

Forever this truth remains

*************~~~*************

Chorus

I belong, I belong to you

************~~~*************

Verse 2

Not hardship, nor hunger, no pain or depth of sorrow

Not weakness, nor failure, no broken dream or promise

Kathryn Scott.

I belong.

What endless soothing lies within those two words. Whatever happens to me, come what may, I am His and nothing can ever take me away from His claim upon me.

I belong.

What enourmous relief in their potential, I do not have to carry my burdens alone, I belong, and He whom I belong to will carry them with me.

I belong.

What an everlasting calling within them. I am not mine, my life is not mine, my choices are not mine: they belong to whom I belong.

I belong to God.

About this blog

I have over a long time felt a desire to write a blog that focused totally on The Lord, and the last months God have done so much good work in and through my life and I want to share it, so that He might be glorified through it.

I pray that as I write down my walk with God, others will be blessed and encouraged to seek more of Him and to walk a closer walk with Him. It is so worth it, and nothing you have done (or do right now) is too much for Him to forgive. Even if other Christians condemn you, God will not. Turn away from your sins and back to Him. He is able to free you. Read His word, pray for His guidance, listen to His will. Even if you don't know how to do so, He will guide you.

It is just a few days since I gave my life to Him, even if I have called myself a Christian for many years. I don't live for myself anymore but for Him and His glory. And He changes me.

I want to live for Him, no matter the cost.
I want to trust Him in all things.
I know that He have saved me and that in Him I am no longer a slave under sin, but I free to live a new life in Him.

May I sing with David, the King after God's own heart:

No wonder my heart is glad, and I rejoice.
My body rests in safety.
For you will not leave my soul among the dead
or allow your holy one to rot in the grave.
You will show me the way of life,
granting me the joy of your presence
and the pleasures of
living with you forever.

Psalm 16: 9-11 (NLT)

Peace be with you!
Your sister in Christ,
Rizpah

My Favourite Quotes about My Lord Jesus Christ

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."

"It is only in obeying God that we may know Him. Obedience, if it is a good reason for dying, is just as good a reason for living. I knew that there was no other answer for me."

Elisabet Elliot, The Savage My Kinsman

"When a soul sets up to find God, it does not know whether it will come, or by what path it will be led. But those who catch the vision are ready to follow the Lamb where ever He goes. And it is as they follow, obedient to what they have seen, in the spirit of joyful adventure, that their path becomes clear before them, and they are given the power to fulfill their high calling. They are those who have the courage to break through conventionalities, who care not at all what the world thinks of them. Because they are entirely taken up with the tremendous realities with the soul and God."
