First,for whatever reason I felt i should write.. chalk it up to obedience...But as I read all these things going back and forth,... I'm reminded at how sometimes I am trying too hard to hear and see God...that he is right there just next to me like a comforting security blanket. And that sometimes I just need to close my mouth, stop thinking too much and rest... just abide in him.
So tonight at worship practice, as we were going over a song.. I just felt the HS rain down on me in such a peaceful, reassuring way and it made me feel so very loved by Jesus! The song: Son of God, speaks these words:
Son of God, shaper of the stars. you alone, the dweller of my heart. mighty king, how beautiful you are, how beautiful. Song of God, the fathers gift to us. you alone, were broken on the altar of love. precious lamb, our freedoms in your blood, its in your blood. (Jesus- oh holy one, I sing to you, forgiven. Savior, Im overcome, with your great love for me!)
Son of God, strength beyond compare. you alone, the darkness cannot bear. lord of love, your kindess draws me near. son of God, prophecy of old. you alone, redeemer of my soul. come again, and lead your people home- come lead us home. --- you are worthy, worthy, you are worthy of all our praise, you are beautiful, you are beautiful, i will lift up my hands and sing--- Jesus-Oh holy one, I sing to you forgiven. savior, Im overcome, with your great love for me... with your great love for me..... As I sang these words, I just felt like God himself was reminding me just how much he loves me and it doesnt matter what comes... he will be there drawing me unto himself and sheltering me.... showing me, leading me....as I left I was drawn towards the heavens to see a bright crescant moon illuminating in the night sky and again was reminded that my creator has made all things with such purpose and care that even a moon has details of beauty and nothing has been overlooked!
It all ties into the scripture I have been mulling over once again from 2 cor. 4:7-18. It nudges me to keep before me that He is my creator and molder, the shaper of my heart... my, jar of clay. that he is constantly refining me and making me more and more like himself. these past couple years have been some of the best, painful, rewarding refining I have encountered in my journey with Jesus. He has challenged and humbled me to be soooo much more than I ever dreamed possible.. I see things thru a different pair of glasses! When you ask the lord to make your heart like his, he doesnt mess around!
Anyhow, I hope these words bring you encouragement as it was intended and perhaps speak to something only the lord and you know about...saun
Last Sunday, as part of a Hearing from God-prayer exercise; I was told to ask God what book He'd like me to read... He said, Prince Caspian.
Last night, I started reading it. I sensed that God wants me to be like the children in the book; to expeience God like in a grand adventure, some parts exciting, some parts scary, some parts WOW, crazy, unexpected...
I feel the old Narnians represent the Holy Spirits "magic", really His supernatural presence can be explored and yet, like the Telemarines, they try to kill the supernatural off...
