“Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!”
Chris Rice – “Come to Jesus”
Door after door, they slam in your face, crushing hope. The higher your hope, the higher your fall from grace. Because it is true, that crisis reveals your true heart condition and relationship with God. Funny how I’ve been called to apply the message I heard 3 days ago on letting go of false securities. I thought that the way to move forward into open doors was with faith, but I guess greater is the faith that has one slamming into the glass doors, hurting but yet picking oneself up, turning around and walking away. Without losing faith that God is in control and that He knows best, even if it seems everything that He has shown or placed me in has begun to change.
I was fixed in all my ways, believing that I would be led the straight and narrow path to where I thought God wanted me to be, with the same people I have always been working with. That comfortability breeds complacency and perhaps I have been blind to an altered direction, blind to the small signs of indicative change, blind to the way this aligns me with the other assured hopes that I felt always unable to reconcile with my perceived calling.
How silly I have been, given God’s track record upon my life. Because it has never been about following a straight, immovable path but rather paths that has always been surprising, alebit shocking. But in its looking back, and realising how things have always worked out for His best, because even as He wrenches me out of the comfort zones of false security that I cling on to fastidiously, because its safe and I am in control. And realising that the difference lies in me simply focusing of what I am capable of now, while He sees the person that I can be, with a small kick in the butt. To realise that given the way I’ve grown and changed, that I need a little rock of my boat.
O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can’t contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!
It’ll be ok.
