About Me


My name is David and I go to Oral Roberts University where I am studying to become a nurse. I would like to think that I am a little different from most people that you will ever meet. Over the past few months my life has been completely changed by someone who loves me more than anyone else I have ever met. I can actually say that I never really understood what love was until now. This person is the first person on my mind when I wake up in the morning and the last one I think about before I go to sleep. He is the one who has been there with me through everything. My good times and bad times, the times where I am lost and the times where I know exactly where I am going. The times that I feel loved and the times when I feel like no one cares. He is one that I can attempt to describe to you but no words could ever explain His love.
He is the true definition of love, the one who does not care about my past but continues to give me vision of my future. He is the one who gives hope to the hopeless, is a father to the fatherless, He calms storms with the sound of his voice, He raises the dead with the touch of His hand, He causes the sun to rise each morning and set each evening, He holds the universe in His hand and yet He knows the number of hairs on my head. His thoughts for me outnumber the grains of sand on the seashore, each and everyday He already knows what I am going to do, He knows my words and thoughts before I speak or think them, He sees every imperfection, every thing I do wrong, every time I have turned my back on Him or done something that has broken His heart He has accepted me back with open arms, loving and comforting never becoming angry.
He told me that no one can have any greater love than to lay down their life for their friend. I've learned so much in the past few months about what it means to be a Christian. I am still learning and trying to become more like my Jesus, it is a process that I will continue on throughout my life. But to be a Christian is to love, the Bible even says that they will know that we are Christians by our love. My Jesus was the greatest example of love there has ever been and I have fallen in love with my Savior.
You who live in heaven Hear the prayers of those of us who live on earth. Who are afraid of being left by those we love And who get hardened by the hurt. Do you remember when You lived down here where we all scrape, To find the faith to ask for daily bread? Did You forget about us after You had flown away? Well I memorized every word You said, Still I'm so scared, I'm holding my breath, While You're up there just playing hard to get. You who live in radiance, Hear the prayers of those of us who live in skin. We have a love that's not as patient as Yours was, Still we do love now and then. Did You ever know loneliness? Did You ever know need? Do You remember just how long a night can get? When You were barely holding on, And Your friends fall asleep, And don't see the blood that's running in Your sweat... Will those who mourn be left uncomforted, While You're up there just playing hard to get? And I know you bore our sorrows, And I know you feel our pain. And I know it would not hurt any less, Even if it could be explained. And I know that I am only lashing out At the One who loves me most. And after I figured this, somehow All I really need to know... Is if You who live in eternity Hear the prayers of those of us who live in time, We can't see what's ahead, And we can not get free of what we've left behind. I'm reeling from these voices that keep screaming in my ears All the words of shame and doubt, blame and regret. I can't see how You're leading me unless You've led me here.... Where I'm lost enough to let myself be led... And so You've been here all along I guess, It's just Your ways and You are just plain hard to get.

My Interests

I really want to share with you this story of a young girl from Asia, around the age of 16. It's taken from the book Jesus Freaks written by dc Talk and The Voice of the Martyrs.
"The Communist soldiers had discovered their illegal Bible study. As the pastor was reading from the Bible, men with guns suddenly broke into the home, terrorizing the believers who had gathered there to worship. The Communists shouted insults and threatened to kill the Christians. The leading officer pointed his gun at the pastor's head. "Hand me your Bible," he demanded. Reluctantly the pastor handed over his Bible, his prized possession. With a sneer on his face, the guard threw the Word of God on the floor at his feet. He glared at the small congregation. "We will let you go," he growled, "but first, you must spit on this book of lies. Anyone who refuses will be shot." The believers had no choice but to obey the officer’s order. A soldier pointed his gun at one of the men. "You first." The man slowly got up and knelt by the Bible. Reluctantly, he spit on it, praying, "Father, please forgive me." He stood up and walked to the door. The soldiers stood back and allowed him to leave. "Okay, you!" the soldier said, nudging a woman forward. In tears she could barely do what the soldiers demanded. She spat only a little, but it was enough. She too was allowed to leave. Quietly, a young girl came forward. Overcome with love for her Lord, she knelt down and picked up the Bible. She wiped off the spit with her dress. "What have they done to Your Word? Please forgive them," she prayed. The Communist soldier put his pistol to her head. Then he pulled the trigger.
This is just one of the many stories of people who have given their lives for Jesus, this is not a story from Biblical times but one that happens everyday around the world. In America we do not yet face this persecution although we soon may. You may one day be faced with the decision, deny Jesus and live... or choose Him and die. But what is life? To choose this life would be meaningless, our time here is nothing. To choose life in that situation would be to choose death. To live eternally with God in Heaven. These are the true followers of God, unafraid of what people think, telling everyone they know, facing prison, torture, and death for Jesus. It is happening now...

A thousand times I’ve failed Still Your mercy remains And should I stumble again I’m caught in Your grace Everlasting Your light will shine when all else fades Never ending Your glory goes beyond all fameYour will above all else My purpose remains The art of losing myself In bringing You praise Everlasting Your light will shine when all else fades Never ending Your glory goes beyond all fameIn my heart and my soul Lord I give You control Consume me from the inside out Lord let justice and praise Become my embrace To love You from the inside outEverlasting Your light will shine when all else fades Never ending Your glory goes beyond all fame And the cry of my heart Is to bring You praise From the inside out Lord my soul cries out

He's the one who made you, it is He who made us and not we ourselves. The heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament shows His handiwork. No means or measure can define His limitless love and no farseeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of His shoreless supply. I'M TELLING YOU TODAY YOU CAN TRUST HIM!!No barrier can hinder Him from pouring out His blessing. He's enduringly strong and He's entirely sincere. He's eternally steadfast and He's immortally graceful. He's imperially powerful and He's impartially merciful. He's the greatest phenomenon that has ever crossed the horizon of this world. He's God's Son, He's the sinner's Savior, He's the centerpiece of civilization. I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU, YOU CAN TRUST HIM!!!He does not have to call for help and you can't confuse Him. He doesn't need you and He doesn't need me. He stands alone in the solitude of Himself. He's august and He's unique. He's unparalleled, He's unprecedented, He's supreme, He's preeminent, He's the loftiest idea in literature, He's the highest personality in philosophy, He's the supreme problem of higher criticism, He's the fundamental doctrine of true theology, He's the cardinal necessity of spiritual religion, He's the miracle of the age, He's the superlative of everything good you can call Him. I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU, YOU CAN TRUST HIM!He can satisfy all your needs, and He can do it simultaneously. He supplies strength for the weak and He's available for the tempted and the tried. He sympathizes and He sees. He guards and He guides, He heals the sick, He cleansed the Leper, He forgives sinners, He discharges debtors, He delivers the captives, He defends the feeble, He blesses the young, He regards the aged, He rewards the diligent, He beautifies the meek, I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU CHURCH, YOU CAN TRUST HIM!He's the key to knowledge, He's the well spring of wisdom, He's the doorway of deliverance, He's the pathway of peace, He's the roadway of righteousness, He's the highway of holiness, He's the gateway to glory, YOU CAN TRUST IN HIM!He's the master of the mighty, He's the captain of the conquers, He's the head of heroes, He's the leader of legislators, He's the overseer of the overcomers, He's the governor of the governors, He's the prince of princes, He's the king of kings, He's the Lord of lords, YOU...

You can't get Him off your hands, you can't get Him off your mind, you can't outlive Him and you can't live without Him. Pilate couldn't stand it when he found he couldn't stop Him, and Pilate couldn't find any fault in Him. And the witnesses couldn't get their testimonies to agree and Herod couldn't kill Him, and death couldn't handle Him and thank God the grave couldn't hold Him.There was nobody before Him and there will be nobody after Him. He has no predecessor, He'll have no successor, you can't impeach Him and He's not going to resign. YOU CAN TRUST HIM!!!-S.M. Lockridge
