Destruction and Redemption

wow.
church this morning was amazing.
my pastor preached about the 7 Trumpets in Revelation.
Revelations, as a whole, is a story, not about the destruction of humanity, but of the redemption that lies in God. we, as His followers, must have faith that for all the crap we have to done to earn ourselves a hole in the pits of Hell has been forgiven as long as we place our faith in Him.
intense isn't it?
but finding hope in a sea of death and destruction isnt the easiest thing to do is it?
no, not really.
but it can happen.
so, hope lies in a person's redemption. if you are not redeemed, do you have anything to look forward to when the whole earth crumbles around you? nope.
but for those who have been forgiven and who have belief in the One True King, then all's well that ends well. kinda amazing, huh?
after the message, we sang a song: "I Give You My Heart" by Hillsong.
i havent felt so in touch with my Savior in so long as when i sang that.
i sang with passion in my voice and it made me feel alive.
incredible.

here are the lyrics.
This is my desire
To honour You
Lord, with all my heart
I worship You
All I have within me
I give You praise
All that I adore
Is in You

Lord, I give You my heart
I give You my song
I live for you alone
Every breath that I take
Every moment I'm awake
Lord, have Your ways in me


so simple and still so powerful.
