I just started listening to this song so i thought i would include it.
We All -- Rush of Fools
Oh, You are love like we have never known
Before the world was born
You had named us and called us Your own
We are Yours
And we're broken at Your feet
We all, we all, we all fall to the ground
Cause You're right here with us
We all, we all, we all fall to the ground
At the name of Jesus
We all, we all, we all lift up You, now
Oh, it's a wonder that we can engage
The King of Heaven lives
In our hearts and we know Your embrace is this
You have died for us
We all, we all, we all fall to the ground
Cause You're right here with us
We all, we all, we all fall to the ground
At the name of Jesus
We all, we all, we all lift up You, now
Your ways are high
They're not our own
And You are seated at Your throne
And it's Your love that gives us hope
That You will never let us go
We all, we all, we all fall to the ground
We all, we all, we all fall to the ground
Cause You're right here with us
We all, we all, we all fall to the ground
At the name of Jesus
We all, we all, we all lift up You, now
Oh, you are love like we have never known
Before the world was born
You had named us and called us your own
We are yours
I feel like lately i have been falling flat on my face for Jesus. Actually more like tripping over my problems to land at the feet of my Savior. I guess i wish it didn't have to be that way. I wish that it took something else to get my life together and not my problems and mishaps that lead me to seeking the Face of God. I have noticed how prideful lately. I never thought of myself being a proud person but i am noticing it more and more.
What did you want to be when you grew up? I remember the only thing i ever wanted was to be a hero. But what is a hero? I was always unsure of this. I just new that i wanted to save the world or something. Why did i want this? Not sure on that either. I guess i just wanted the glory. Sounds quite selfish right? Well growing up i guess i really rooted myself in my own selfish, glory-filled dream. I feel like i spend too much time seeking the praise of others and not enough time doing things for the glory of God. Even my life of prayer has changed into something that was just for others to see. I hate it. Sometimes i feel like i pray before meals just so other people see me and not that i am actually giving thanks to God. Sounds terrible right? Well it is the truth. So how much of this relationship with God is fake? Looks like i have a long road to making it better.
I can relate so well to all of this. I've been guilty of the same outward lies, just like the Pharisees, and I justify it in my head as "trying to inspire people by showing them good Christian behavior" or something else just as detestable.
ReplyDeleteI could say a lot more, but I'm struggling to work up the energy to. More than anything though, just try your hardest and accept God's constant gift of grace. Your failures already weigh you down when you're in the middle of them, don't let them continue to do so after they're over with.
sometimes when i am in the Word and i see Jesus talking to the Pharisees i feel so much like He is talking directly to me. :/
ReplyDeleteScott, you are my hero. Really.
