It is interesting in times when one’s body and mind are weak, as mine have been these past couple of days, (it is like I am just so tired of struggling anymore) are when despite my numerous outbursts of rage, that I can become calm and relaxed although however brief.
These past two days I have not only continued meditating on the Word, but this particular song/video (below), which I was introduced to by a fellow-blogger a few weeks back. The words mean a whole lot to me now, then when I first heard the song. Ironically, how everything just falls into place just at the right time, huh? God just knows how much one can handle and knows just when to place certain “wake-up calls” in our paths to draw us ever so near. There are lines in the song that really “take me back” every time I hear them (highlighted in red):
The More I seek You
The More I find you
the more I find you
The more I love you
I want to sit at you feet
drink from the cup in your hands
lay back against you and breath
feel your heartbeat
this love is so deep
it's more than I can stand
I melt in your peace
it's overwhelming
When I especially hear those words in red, it is like I am right there with my Lord just relaxing in his embrace…… even falling into a peaceful sleep. Something I have not had in quite a long time.
As comforting as the song and words are to my ears, it remains hard for me to feel how much my Lord does love me. Being violated in my childhood puts a damper in this area. But hearing the constant reminder that He does, will help me to release more of the 'real me' to Him each time I surrender a part of my pain.
I love that song sweetie. Keep clinging to the hem of His garment, do not let go. You are loved.
ReplyDeleteJust want to share a blessing with you JBR. So come and get it when you get a chance, visit me :) God bless.
ReplyDeleteMusic is so therapeutic for me.
ReplyDeleteAMEN!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Yaya, music is also therapeutic for me ..
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like hearing a lyric that touches our own soul...pulling out all those emotions that may we haven't allowed ourselves to feel....so very healing
I love that song too, I had it playing on my blog when I first started blogging, it really does minister to me as well. Have you signed up for my giveaway, I also have an award for you at the end of the giveaway post.

It is though Him that we gain life.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's hard to know what to say. I can feel your intense pain with every word you write. Life is such a battle for some. I hope you find peace.
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful song. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWithout music, I would DIE! But I do not need to hear it...it's already in my head. Always. It even drowns out the locusts' constant singing.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
Peace.

Very nice. I've enjoyed my stay at your blog.
ReplyDeleteEveryone, thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great song, JBR, and I'm glad you find comfort in it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. Isn't that kitty cute? I like funny animal pics, as you can tell!
Glad you liked my little movie reviews, these were short versions. You should go see some of the flicks out there these days. It is a good escape and way to get your mind off your problems. You get lost in the story and don't think about whatever is bothering you. You can also get out alot of anger vicariously.
Take Care, Bunni
I am new to blogging and you started following me on A Way. I do not know how to follow you if you could let me know. I am very pleased that you are following me and I so love this song. I haven't heard it before but it let me think of how special Jesus actually is to me. Puts into words what I can't explain.
ReplyDeleteThank you all once again....
