De ce suntem în România?

Wes has a habit of jotting down scribbly notes on little pieces of paper...
from ten pound grapes:

Why did we come to Romania?
So that others may know the Joy of a life in Christ Jesus...
Living for Christ by wrapping our lives around the person of Jesus!
Living a lifestyle of worship.
Delighting in Him and nothing else.
Recognizing the beauty, value and pricelessness of Christ and applying that to everything in our lives.
Comparing the worth of Jesus to everything we "own" in this world and then letting go of all that competes with Christ in our lives.  
Allowing God to remove all that does not belong in us.
Turn your eyes upon Jesus - 
look full in His wonderful face and the things of earth will grow strangely dim -
In the light of His Glory and Grace.
Yes, God blesses us with many things in our lives.
Let's give it all back to Him, especially if it hinders our worship of Christ.

Let the Father take you to a place where he wants you.
Hold on to nothing, but Him.
Let Him be the object of your affection.
Let Him be the first thing you think of in the morning, the last thing you think of before you go to bed at night.
Let Him consume your every thought.
He is so precious.
He is worthy of all praise.
As we delight in the Lord, we see more clearly who He is.
Oh how His beauty,righteousness and holiness shine.
As we see Him in His radiance, the things of the world diminish.
Now, He has our attention!
He has cleaned out the ear wax of life so that we may hear Him...
