live on [purpose].

(via kaileymackenzie)

O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love.
Here’s my heart Lord, take and seal it, seal it for Thy courts above.

Where you invest your love, you invest your life.

freebirds-fly asked: You are so amazing at what you do.

To what are you referring to, beautiful?

juststopbreathingforme asked: libby, i miss youuu.

And after the storm,
I run and run as the rains come
And I look up, I look up,
on my knees and out of luck,
I look up.

Night has always pushed up day
You must know life to see decay
But I won’t rot, I won’t rot
Not this mind and not this heart,
I won’t rot.

And I took you by the hand
And we stood tall,
And remembered our own land,
What we lived for.

And there will come a time, you’ll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart, but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see what you find there,
With grace in your heart and flowers in your hair.

And now I cling to what I knew
I saw exactly what was true
But oh no more.
That’s why I hold,
That’s why I hold with all I have.
That’s why I hold.

I will die alone and be left there.
Well I guess I’ll just go home,
Oh God knows where.
Because death is just so full and mine so small.
Well I’m scared of what’s behind and what’s before.

“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.” 

[Psalm 19:1-5]

Love is handing your heart to someone and taking the risk that they will hand it back because they don’t want it. 

In matters of love, it’s as if God has agreed to play by the same rules we do. God can do anything – that’s what makes God, God. But God won’t make us love him – that’s our choice. Love is risky for God too. 

And if God can continue to risk, then maybe we can too.

Funny thing about childhood… it never really leaves us.
