grace

Our God is BIG. He is so faithful. He desires our hearts, He desires our lives. How we ever choose to run away from Him baffles me. It is so sad that our pride and selfish desires distract us from the only thing that can truly satisfy us.

I have been so humbled and convicted of this in the last couple weeks, and the way I have seen God's grace and mercy in my life makes me want to cry. When we are weak, He is strong. That sounds so simple, so easy. It's not. Literally when we feel like falling apart, He delights in being that strength. HE fills holes, HE heals wounds, HE speaks truth, HE brings joy. When we feel like no one cares or understands, the One who knows our heart inside and out is there. He is comfort, peace, and rest.

I think sometimes I get so caught up in my worldly securities and relationships that in order for me to see how much I need Him, He takes them away. We are lost without our Savior, literally lost. I try so hard to make plans and fix things my own way, that my pride completely blinds me to the freedom that comes when we surrender ourselves to Him.

You raise me beyond the skies, into a city of eternal light
Looking down on the stars, I fly into heaven, caught up in your arms

I Breathe Your fragrance, taste your goodness,
Crumble to pieces
Into Your love
In Your presence all my existence
Crumbles to pieces
Into Your love

I’m speechless what can I say
Words become tears
As You wipe them away
All my kisses and crowns at your feet
Fire of heaven burn love over me

It’s such a beautiful story
I’m face to face with the King of glory

You rescued someone unworthy, I know this is love

Make me more like You, Lord. break me, use me, devastate my life.
