Follow thru...trying so hard
I heard the greatest song yesterday. It spoke exactly of what I experience on a daily basis. So many days I spend my morning time with You Lord, and You speak to me and show me the great and wonderful, the small and simple and yet when I get up from my seat and walk out the door, it all seems to fall by the wayside. Somehow life invades the peace, and steals the seeds You plant in my heart. I end up frustrated, fruitless and feeling yet again, like a failure.
I know that You love me just as I am. You are patient with me. And I know that You are working this out. But I do want to shine for You. For others to see You in me. More of You, like I said yesterday.
So, this is the God visit. Yesterday as I drove to pick up a friend so we could head over to the kitten shelter, I heard this awesome song, that I could have written myself (if I had the talent to do such a thing). It's called Between the Altar and the Door by Casting Crowns. And I thought to myself, "now that is exactly what I feel like; I lose it when I leave the prayer closet." I thought about how I want it to be different, how I want to take the things You show me and run with them, letting them change me into the image of Jesus. As the song ended, I looked around at the other cars sitting at the light (the very, very looooonnnngg light!) and lo and behold one of them had a license plate that said......UKONDOIT...(You can do it). How absolutely cool was that ?!?!?!? You were encouraging me yet again Lord. And I was so blessed and happy for that.
Am I going to get all this right away? Probably not. Am I going to change overnight? Very doubtful. Is God working on me? Absolutely. Am I being changed from glory to glory? Most certainly. Thank You Lord for doing it Your way.
I am not sure if this will work to add the link for the song. I will post it in a separate entry just to be sure you can all listen. It is a fantastic song. This band always seems to be right on the money.
