Many days have passed since I've written anything, not that the power of your Holy Spirit isn't transforming me...but perhaps I thought so me things were better kept to myself. But yesterday I experienced such an intimate moment in worship I find it necessary to share.
I stood in service praising the Lord in song as the worship leader shared about a personal experience in which God moved on her behalf...and instantaneously my heart remembered all of the times I have been delivered from the consequences of my own sin and circumstances beyond my control.
I remember the nights I cried in the hospital unsure of whether or not my unborn child would survive while battling the thoughts in my mind that I would not. Tomorrow I will celebrate my eldest son's 9th birthday. God has been faithful.
I remember walking into a home I never should have been in and not knowing if I'd be able to walk out because the man in the home was high as a kite and holding a shotgun...but God saw me through that horrible situation. And because he has I know there must be a plan for me.
One night spent in jail I met my maker...we had a one on one conversation. He told me that he loved me in spite of my flaws and because of them. He told me that he created me perfect in sight and unique. He said my flaws and faults remind me that I can't do a thing without him , His power works best in my weakness.
He showed his love for me every time I've fallen...and most importantly he loved me when he bore the cross for my sake.He died for me, so that in Him I can live.And I die to myself everyday...so that in me, He can live.
I want nothing in this life if it doesn't bring you the glory Lord. I am seeking you, come dwell in me...all the days of my life.
