hillsong conference part two

i'm glad that i took a few pictures yesterday because today they didn't really allow cameras.

but let me just say, i got to ask the entire Hillsong United team a question. yes, i was freaking out like a lame-o. but it was amazing haha.

this entire conference was a blessing for me. to be surrounded by other Christians searching for the meaning of worship challenged me. i want to be a better person, but not for myself, rather, i want to serve this world. God GAVE to this world, and He gave his Son. He is constantly giving, and so, i must give as well.

the purpose of this conference was to have an Encounter with our Lord, Jesus Christ, a collision with the unexpected and to experience our Savior's love like never before. and though there may be voices that try to undermine this connection, we must aim for a greater intimacy with our Lord. we are called to serve. we have a purpose. let's get to it!

to have faith is to have a passion, which is measured by how we live, the choices we make. i want to show others that i have a passion for God and His Word. faith believes and speaks by confessing the word! it goes beyond mere feeling and it should be backed by how i act and face the world. and because God loved me, i must love others, and share this saving faith. how can they not know? it is up to us to be the hands and feet and reach those forgotten by the rest of the world. if Jesus loved the last of those, so must we.

i left tonight, feeling renewed. i feel like i see my purpose. i was meant to love God and to show this, i must serve this world humbly, tear down the walls of self and only then will i be a true blessing. i can't even describe the emotions running through my mind right now. i am just so thankful.

Lord, i am not worthy of You and yet, You loved me first. paid for me with your Son's precious blood, i have been made new. how could i not live for you? what better way to show you that i am thankful. i don't have much that compares to you, nor the words to piece together how i feel, but know, that the little that i have is all for you. i give you my heart. take it and mold it as you please. obra en mi vida como quieras, mi Rey. that i may live for You and You alone. you are worthy of all praise.
