I am an emotional train wreck, full of ups and downs, full of discontent when I lose myself in myself…
Life as I make it, can be completely messy and hard…
When I lose sight of God, this is what I see.
When I just completely see all the things that I am working on, the things that I have not completely surrendered to God and try to fix on my own, all I see is failure!
In my place of surrender, I see ALL the Beauty in the ashes that God made completely for me, just for me!
That in the depths of my despair, my darkness, my desert, EVEN HE, finds me there and brings me back into the light.
He lifts up my head and opens my eyes to see what He sees! That I am Worth it and more than enough!
He sees me in my broken state and calls me to draw closer to Him.
He surrounds me in His healing embrace…
He writes a new song in my heart, He enables me to open my mouth to sing His praises because when I completely relied on myself, I found myself too weak to even open my mouth to utter any meaningful words.
“If you see more than what’s in front of you
You might see more of heavens view”
Today Is beautiful, David Dunn
Oh, God, help me to see what You See
To Feel what You feel towards me
To know the vastness of your love for me
How You died on the cross just to save me from the pit of despair
How You rose again on the third day and how You went to heaven with the promise of the Holy Spirit in us to help us
How You promised to come back for us again someday
Oh, God, help me to see that You can use me to touch others
That You would help me to use ANY circumstance good or bad to lift You up and glorify Your name, no matter how hard it may be!
Help me to see the beauty in all this mess, because the life that you have planned out for me is truly more beautiful that I can ever imagine!
Amen!
Woah, I was really blessed by this article, thank you! You write very well. Something I heard in a spoken word once was “if you call God a garbage man, you’re right, cause he turned my mess into a message.” And what you wrote really spoke to me thank you again.
THANKS, Joe!! You are too kind:)
