None of these things move me! Part 2
None of these things move me. Are you able to say this no matter what you are going through in life? This is what Paul says in Acts 20 when talking about the tribulations that he faced. Do you have this kind of Faith? Do you want this kind of Faith? This kind of faith takes years to build. As Mike Bradley says if you are "willing surrender to the reign of God and choose to actively participate in an intimate partnership with Christ" God will build your faith every day and one day you may be able to say "none of these things move me" no matter what you face.
In this message Elizabeth discusses how she was challenged in college to build her faith. Her professor used David's faith as an example - how he started small as a Shepard, and when the giant came, he was ready. Will you be ready for the giant when it appears in your life? Start now, start small, and watch God grow your faith as you walk in this Kingdom relationship with Him. One day you will be able to say no matter what comes it is from God and none of these things move me.
If you are battling depression in your life and need to talk with someone who has been there, please don't hesitate to contact Elizabeth at growingstrong@mvranch.org. There is hope!

All to Jesus I surrender,
All to him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust him,
In his presence daily live.
I surrender all,
I surrender all,
All to thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Humbly at his feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken,
Take me, Jesus, take me now.
All to Jesus I surrender;
Make me, Savior, wholly thine;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
Truly know that thou art mine.
All to Jesus I surrender,
Lord, I give myself to thee,
Fill me with thy love and power,
Let thy blessing fall on me.
All to Jesus I surrender;
Now I feel the sacred flame.
Oh, the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory, to his name!
