Our entire lives we never… well, I never… expected ‘it’ to happen. “It” being that unexplainable good that fills your heart and life. And it’s not that ‘it’ is perfect – because as we all know too well, nothing in life beyond our Savior is perfect. But ‘it’ gets pretty dang close. When your heart is so overflowing with love and gratitude that your prayers are just continuous thank you’s over and over and over.
As anyone who reads my blog knows – I’m a big lover of ‘aha’ moments. And this weekend, I had a huge ‘aha’ moment. And ‘it’ clicked, and the amount of gratitude that I was able to unleash overcame me. I was no longer a general of an army in metal walled wars – but rather a soldier in the march for love and righteousness, proclaiming truth in ways that I never thought could be possible, and in ways that I never thought I would findagain.
God is so ridiculously gracious and good to us, to me, an individual. I can not thank Him enough. I could begin and end my day in a prayer of gratitude, and still would never come close to expressing my gratitude for all that he has done and provided me with. There has been heart ache, pain, suffering, turmoil, confusion, wrong paths – but still Christ is there with open arms to accept me back.
Since music always seems to say what I wish I could formulate in my head; I'll leave you with a great song.
Lyrics:
You run, you hide
As tears fall from your eyes
They fall like snow
From a wounded soul
You hold inside
The hurt of great divide
The hole is starting to get old
So come back to the light
To the love, you will find
It’s been here all along
So come back to the start
And you’ll find in your heart
That you always belonged
To me
Just take the rope
I won’t let it go
Give in
We can start again
I’m life, I’m hope
And I’m ready to explode
With how bad I want you back home
You’re my daughter, you’re my son
You’re the one I long to love
And you’ve heard I chose to die
Do you know you’re the reason why?
