Was there a time when you informed God of exactly what would
bless you beyond measure? You told Him what you just knew was your due? You
actually believed your heart was completely His and that it was soft and
pliable in His hand, but there was a dissatisfaction of soul that could never
find fulfillment. Impatient for your promise, you didn’t realize that part of
your heart was growing hard to His Spirit. You were erecting a wall to His love
and His will. Obsessed with your promise more than your Father, your ears
became deaf. Your eyes lost His vision. Your heart hardened to stone. You were
so focused on your great need for fulfillment of your promise that you didn’t
even realize when you had left His presence. Suddenly you were alone in a cold
and strange land of your own making…..
“When my way seems too hard, Lord, it really isn’t. You are with me. When my load feels too heavy, it’s not. You carry it. When my heart feels like it’s breaking into pieces, it isn’t. You are molding me. When I feel overwhelmed by the pressures of life, I’m really not. I’m at rest in you. You keep me in perfect peace when I trust in you, when all of my thoughts are fixed upon you. Letting go of who I have always believed myself to be, I reach for who you have created me to be. Starved for lasting joy and peace, I’m now ready to reach for the life and purpose you have chosen for me. Moving to the edge of what I have never had the courage to allow, I launch into the depths of what has been my uncertainty. One breath and one moment at a time, you form me, you fire me, and you fill me.”
