I AM EVE - Seeing myself in the women I've come to know in the Bible

 
 
I Am Eve

I am Eve:  I defy the One Who created me.  I choose to do the very things that separate me from living in oneness with Him.
I am Rahab:  I seek satisfaction in things and people that bring no fulfillment.
I am Bathsheba:  Breaking my promises.
I am Sarai:  I have trouble believing that God can keep his promises.
I am Naomi:  Feeling at times abandoned.
I am Ruth: Seeing that there is one true God and He is to be followed no matter what the cost.
I am Esther:  Pleading before my Heavenly Father’s throne for strength and guidance when my actions will impact others.
I am Sarah:  Following my husband to a new land knowing God has a wonderful, but unknown plan for us there.
I am Mary:  Astonished that God chose me to be a vessel through which He would do His work.
I am Martha:  Getting distracted with all the busy activities and missing what really matters.
I am Sally:  Lost, Blind, Found, Saved, Doubting, Struggling, Faithless, Faithful, Prayerless, Prayerful, Astonished, Distracted, Transformed, Hopeful, Growing, God’s Woman – Eternally!

YOU WERE THERE (thoughts on Divine election)






From ancient history You set Your sights on me
You formed my destiny to make me Your own
While yet unformed was I conceived in sin to die
But the Apple of Your Eye.  Such grace You have shown

You were there - seeking out my very heart

You were reaching form the start
Seeing every sin and still you chose to love and save me
There - to make my mind conceive
And make my heart believe
Pouring grace and love and all the blessings that You gave me

Jesus both God and man You fulfilled the whole plan
You died but rose again that I might live too
You never sinned or lied and yet were crucified
"It is finished" then You cried.  What more could you do?
 
 I never could repay the price you had to pay
Just live for You each day and walk in Your love
When facing the unknown I never walk alone
It's clear I'm heading home to heaven above
You'll be there - Seeking out my very heart

And we'll never be apart
Then we'll comprehend the fullness of the gospel story
There - the crowns that we receive
We'll cast before Your feet
Resurrected we, with eyes unveiled will see Your glory
