I began the day by falling to my knees, conversing with Christ, and believing that my God would take care of me...and he did...better than I could have ever imagined. I spoke with my Lord and told him what was on my mind. I gave to him my thoughts, my desires, and my sins. I've done this a hundred times before, but something was different today. It wasn't God who had changed, or even the depth of our conversation. It was that I believed and expected that he would show himself faithful...and he did...better than I could have ever imagined.
You see, I understand the importance of giving ourselves over to Christ and asking for him show us his will and purpose for our lives. I've never doubted that this is what we are called to do as Christ followers. The part that until today has been missing for me is in believing and expecting that he would actually do it. I've always known that he COULD, I just never really expected that he WOULD.
Now don't get me wrong...God has shown himself faithful, all my life, IN SPITE of me. The fact that I am who I am today is proof of that. What's different about today is that I chose to realize that he would hear my cry, I expected that no matter what happened today would be from him, and I believed that every thought, encounter, and moment of peace was God speaking to my heart...because that's what I asked for.
So here it is in a nutshell...
1. Just talk to God the way you would anyone else...he already knows your heart and he's big enough for you to ask the hard questions. Tell him what's on your mind...
2. Believe that he is listening, that he will be faithful to speak to you, and that he will show himself in everything that comes your way.
3. Live your life...better than you could have ever imagined.
Over time you’ve healed so much in me
And I am living proof
That although my darkest hour had come
Your light could still shine through
And though at times it’s just enough to cast
A shadow on the wall
Well, I am grateful that you shine your light on me at all
And I am living proof
That although my darkest hour had come
Your light could still shine through
And though at times it’s just enough to cast
A shadow on the wall
Well, I am grateful that you shine your light on me at all
Who am I that you would love me so gently?
Who am I that you would recognize my name?
Lord, who am I that you would speak to me so softly
Conversation with the love most high
Who am I?
Who am I that you would recognize my name?
Lord, who am I that you would speak to me so softly
Conversation with the love most high
Who am I?
Well, amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind, but now I see
And the more I sing that sweet old song the more I understand
That I do not comprehend this love that’s coming from your hand
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind, but now I see
And the more I sing that sweet old song the more I understand
That I do not comprehend this love that’s coming from your hand
Who am I that you would love me so gently?
Who am I that you would recognize my name?
Lord, who am I that you would speak to me so softly
Conversation with the love most high
Who am I?
Who am I that you would recognize my name?
Lord, who am I that you would speak to me so softly
Conversation with the love most high
Who am I?
Grace, grace, God’s grace
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within
Grace, grace, God’s grace
Grace that is greater than all our sin
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within
Grace, grace, God’s grace
Grace that is greater than all our sin
Who am I that you would love me so gently?
Who am I that you would recognize my name?
Lord, who am I that you would speak to me so softly
Conversation with the love most high
Who am I?
Who am I that you would recognize my name?
Lord, who am I that you would speak to me so softly
Conversation with the love most high
Who am I?
