Hallelujah stems from the orginal Hebrew word "Halleluya", which loosely translates to mean "Praise God." Other translations state that the word comes from the verb Halal, meaning "to shine", plus the participle u, meaning "with", along with jah, which is short for "Yahweh", the Name of God. The people of Biblical times ascribed the word "Halal" to the stars for their brightness.

A ransomed heart merely striving
In imperfect words the Father rising
With this sort of beauty the Lord is pleased
So she plans to dance for eternity

Isaiah 61:1-3

I don’t need a map

I’m wonderfully lost

Searching the world

For God knows what

" if we cut off their tongues and forbid the Christians speech, they love with their hands, with their feet, and with their eyes, they love always and everywhere until their last respiration. “

  Ecc. 3:4

Jesus gives us God. God is our highest treasure, our greatest delight, our deepest joy. Our most profound happiness is that God loves us, that God knows us, that God cares for us, that God has given himself to us and that we get to live for his glory. Not that we have to, but that we get to. We get to finally do the singular cause for which we were made: to glorify God. 
-Mark Driscoll

Walk and don’t be afraid. Don’t want to have it all charted out for you. Let it happen. Let something new grow. That is the walk of faith- walking with the Lord, always walking away from familiar places.

-Nouwen

lamestloser:

i pray that we as a nation, a people, a HOLY people of God would see how insignificant outward appearance is and give our hearts over to God for a FULL MAKE-OVER! that’s what counts. i hope it doesn’t sound harsh, but it’s truth. outward appearance is a scheme of satan to make…

corycopeland:

I fell in love with a girl a few months ago. Crazy, huh? I still find it exhilarating, honestly. I smile at random times, and I often can’t help grabbing her for a long hug, just because I can. Love is a wonderful feeling, and one I’ve waited a long time to experience.

Love is that thing that…

It is very interesting that the first person the Bible mentions as being “filled with God’s Spirit” was not a prophet, leader, lawgiver, or warrior… It was an artisan: Bezalel.

God’s Spirit is first mentioned as filling a craftsman… An artist… Very cool.
