Here is a great video of a live soaking worship session I did with my friend Thora in her home recording studio in Reykjavik, Iceland, last December.  Thora was on keyboard and I (obviously) was on my electric violin.  Bjossi, Thora’s husband, recorded the video.  Happy soaking!

See your glory, by Samuel Liu

.

The islands shall see your glory

The wars shall see your might

The nations shall see your beauty

Awestruck at your sight

.

The humble shall see your glory

The pure shall see your face

The oppressed shall see your mercy

The past to be erased

.

The earth shall see your glory

The works of your hand

Creation sings your melody

All across this land

.

Children shall see your glory

And babes speak your praise

Sons and daughters of destiny

Running to win the race

.

And we shall see your glory

As we overcome

Praying breathes of intimacy

Come Lord Jesus come

A Blessing for this New Year!

Dear Beloved,

I bless you with entering into a deeper rest in Father God this year.  May our Lord draws you into greater intimacy with Him, and may you experience more of His love, His grace, His peace, His joy, His abundance, and His presence!

Love’s Rest, after one year!

journey into His rest

Just this week, I realized that it has already been one year since I launched Love’s Rest (last December), and I have to say that this devotional website has grown and progressed beyond my imagination.  Praise God!

I started Love’s Rest out of an idea God had given me, and now, after 100+ posts and over 5,000 visitors, I am grateful that God birthed this site and used it to bless so many people worldwide!

(and He is continuing to touch lives through it each day)

I remember, last year, it was during an epic two-week periods of snow flurries and cold weather here in the Seattle area, when I was stuck and trapped in my old apartment (with my car buried in the parking lot), and I couldn’t go out to fellowship with friends for Christmas, that the Father drew me into a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him.

And during those days, after hours of  soaking and worshipping, I was prompted by the Holy Spirit to go to wordpress.com, and the dream of Love’s Rest became a reality.

Thank you Daddy God, for your amazing love, for all that you are, and all that you’ve done.  And may the knowledge of You be spread all over the earth, as the waters cover the sea.  I know I have been transformed by You as well, in creating, maintaining, and cultivating this website.  Thank You for what You are doing in me and through me.  Amen.

I have much more fresh contents in store this new year for Love’s Rest, so get ready to go deeper in the Lord!
