So Many Thoughts!!
So many thoughts going on in my heart and mind as I comptemplate the upcoming holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas and birthdays and all that entails and what it means to me during this time in my life. I know that I need to stay focused on my Father, on the Lord Jesus Christ!
As usual, the Lord used a song, to speak to me today. He truly caused me to hear the words of the song, to hear it with my heart and not just my ears. He used this song to remind me that I am to put my trust in Him. The song is “Your The Source of My Strength” by J. Brian Hill.
It opened my heart to the Lord. It allowed Him to come in and again apply the balm of His healing power to the wounds of my heart, of my spirit, those areas which only can be touched by the Hand of God. The song reminded me, that He, the Lord is the source of my strength, the source of my being and I am to put my trust, absolutely, totally and completely in Him.
Even through the tears, He reaches out and touches and heals and sees each tear, each drop. He sees the pain, the hurt, the wounds, the loneliness and the fear, of not just me but of others and He says, “I am here my son, I am here my daughter, I see the tears, the wounds.”
As Brian shares in this song, that when life’s shadows fall on us, that we can give those fears to our Father and when we are overcomed by life, we can craw into the arms of safety of our Father. That He is there.
I know that to some, this may seem strange. A 57 year old man, talking about crawling into the arms of His Father, but when you look at it through the eyes of eternity I am but a child.
And did not our Lord say that, like as a child, we are to come to Him, with that simplicity of faith, of knowing He is there.
That indeed He is the source of our being, and that we are to put our trust in Him, for He is our strength, our life!
Let Him be your source and strength, and don’t me afraid to run and crawl into the arms of safety of our Heavenly Father!
Till Later,
Paul
