The singers voice is beautiful, just like the the message of the vid. Thank you for sharing it!
Caroline,
“Gentleman” Jim Reeves used to be one of my favorite singers. It’s been a long time since I heard his beautiful voice, and now I remember why I liked him so much.
I wish that one day I will be blessed to live a life like this. This video motivates me to do all that I can to live in peace.
James,
I wish we could all let the Lord have His own way in our lives.
Lillie, amen, amen, amen! Daily surrender and submission and even then we sometimes get in His way. Thank you for sharing.

Karen,
We sometimes do manage in to get in the way, don’t we? But we keep trying.
GOD is good all the time. Awesome voice and video. They compliment with each other.
Jane,
I’m glad you like this as much as I do.
Lillie,
To live as the song suggests, with the lord’s will shining through in each and every aspect of life (as per your stated goal) is the way to go. That is how I believe that we were meant to live.
My own goal – fallible and broken by sin though I am – is to live that way through his power and his strength.
Excellent pictures and beautiful singing.

Andrew,
Fallible and broken by sin we all are, but praise God, He picks us up every time we fall.
Lillie,
With prayer of asking Him to put you where you belong according to His will, you will be answered. These words are just what I needed right now as I have been very prayerful of these very needs. With the beautiful resume you created for me and lots of prayer, I had an interview process and am hopeful that this is the job where I belong according to His will. Thank You for the sharing of a beautiful piece of fellowship.
Jean,
I’m glad to hear about the job possibility, and I’m praying that if is God’s will it will come to pass. Keep me posted.
Great motivational video, thanks for sharing will tell others to watch it also

Beautiful Lilli, That immacualte garden perfectly illustrates the partnership between god and man (and women).
Gods will provide all that we need, but we have to do our part too. Accepting what comes and working within god’s natural laws to make a fulfilling and meaningful life.
Dave.
Excellent point, Dave. I hadn’t thought of that.
Singer has beautiful voice. I wish that one day I will be blessed to live a life like this.
His voice is magnificent, Lara. We have the same hope.
You are a constant source of inspiration Lillie, where and how do you find these great videos?
Thanks for making my Sunday an even more special days.

Barbara,
I find most of the videos on YouTube by searching on a specific topic. This one came up when I was searching for something else, and I loved it so much I drafted the post and dated it ahead. Sometimes I use videos that I see on other blogs, but I prefer to use something I haven’t seen elsewhere if I can find something.
That is such a beautiful song along with wonderful scenery. Thanks for sharing, it’s very relaxing.
Samuel,
I’m glad you enjoyed the lovely video.
I’m Anthony Sanchez and I live by the quote “The purpose of life is a life of purpose” by Robert Byrne. I really want to know my life’s purpose so I constantly read (link removed).
Anthony,
I love the quote!
Sometimes music and images just compliment each other perfectly, this is one of those times, a lovely combination. A fine sentiment and a perfect example of the whole being greater than merely the sum of the parts.

Steve,
The photos and music do complement each other beautifully.
Hello! I haven’t been able to visit this blog for quite some time. I am glad I was able to visit again. And with this message, it is just apt for what I am going through. Thanks for posting.
Ron,
I’ve missed seeing you here and glad you’re back. Hope it won’t be so long before you return.
I loved this video I was needing something big and fantastic for my life thanks
Samuel,
Glad you appreciate the video.
There is something very empowering about giving up trying to be in control and being willing to meet life as God brings it to you.
I’ve still got some way to go to really live this, but admire those further down the road.
Thanks for sharing the video Lillie,
David.
David,
I think all (or at least most) of us have a ways to go, but if we’re getting better, we’re headed in the right direction.
What a wonderful song! Truly inspiring. And he has such a very beautiful name too
Thanks!

Beautiful, indeed, Jimmy.
I’m a church planter/domestic missionary in Dallas and I too have troubles submitting to the Lord. I think I am submitting to his will, but with as many problems as we’re having now, I sometimes think of it as punishment instead of just the result of living in a fallen world. Sometimes struggles can mess up my theology. Loved reading the comments here.
I’d also appreciate prayers for our son and our ministry – thanks.
Brian,
Submitting is challenging for all of us, especially when The Enemy tries to stop the Lord’s work.
I wasn’t quite sure why you were asking for prayer for you son. Is he involved with the ministry or does he have a specific need? What is your son’s first name?
Classic i love it…=)

What a great song very inspiring. thanks for sharing this wonderful song. God Bless you
You’re welcome, Francis. God bless you, also.
It’s always nice to get a dose of beauty and inspiration in this world! Thanks
Chris,
This certainly is a dose of inspiration and beauty.
This is a very inspiring video. God is always here for us no matter what.
Cher,
You’re right that God is always there for us, and as this video reminds us, we should be there for Him, doing His will.
Here is a little prayer i want to share with you
Lord Jesus, may everything I do begin with You,
continue with Your help,
and be done under Your guidance.
May my sharing in the Mass free me from my sins,
and make me worthy of Your healing.
May I grow in Your Love and Your service,
and become a pleasing offering to You;
and with You to Your Father.
May the mystery I celebrate help me
to reach eternal life with you.
Amen
Mike,
Amen!
Nice Song, Nice Voice, Nice Video
Thanks for sharing the video us
Right on all counts, John. You’re welcome.
Life is meant to be a journey of peace and joy for all living beings, and yet we seem to live in so much conflict and anxiety. I loved this video and the message. Thank you.

ian,
Ever since the Fall in the Garden of Eden, life has been filled with conflict and anxiety. I’m afraid that will be our state until the Lord returns.
Thanks For sharing a wonderful video, your an instrument of god to us Lilie

You’re welcome, Mich. I enjoy sharing things that are meaningful to me.
That’s I think one of the thing that I’m needing now. an inspiration to pursue on my dreams, to live well under God’s grace and guidance. To accept everything which I think were part of my existence. To make me whole, ready to face every challenges that have made my life hard to bear.. Having a life like this now, I’m offering it to God. I know everything that’s been happening now has it’s purpose.
Angelie,
Sometimes we don’t understand the purpose of what happens in our lives, but we know all things work together for good to those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose.
Thanks Ms. Lillie for that inspiring message. I have been to many challenges in my life and I think that made me become stronger. I was able to know and love God more than before. There I get to give importance to the people surrounding me. Sort of a motivation in order to continue and accept the way I am. Being able to cherished and live life according to God’s Law.

Angelie,
We can let challenges either get us down or make us stronger. As you have experienced in your own life, when we use them as motivation, our lives are richly blessed.
That is extremely beautiful and heart felt. Up until now I endured many hardship and I have to admit the only time I felt at peace was during my devotion time. If it weren’t for my devotion I would of not been where I am not. Thanks for the post.

leslie,
Time spent with God in devotion is healing and gives us the strength to face the obstacles we encounter in life.
Great video… it’s not always easy to live according to God’s will. Sometimes He will ask us to do things we don’t want to.
The important thing is to keep trusting and not worry, knowing He knows what’s best for us. That’s been a REAL HARD lesson for me to learn, but I’m getting better at asking for His guidance before my major decisions. Just keep seeking, and He will guide you to where you should be.
Josh,
Trusting God is a hard lesson for many people, but the more you trust the easier it gets.
In today’s society everyone is encouraged to be independent and not let anyone tell them what to do. But look where most of them end up that live their lives that way. I love this song “you are the potter and I am the clay.”
Dave,
It’s a beautiful song and a good reminder that we shouldn’t be after our own way.
