For the past year God has been trying to tell me to “let go” or a better phrase would be to “take a leap of faith”. After a year of Him trying to pull me back into the right path i am finally seeing it now. The past few weeks has been incredibly amazing. God’s presence in my life has never been so clear and so real. I am beginning to understand why i break down in tears when i listen to Oceans by Hillsong United or actually pretty much any worship song i put my heart into. The lyrics of Oceans though, have a deep meaning to me, seeing as to the whole song is about trusting God when you take a leap of faith, and getting spiritually stronger in that process. God has spoken to me through Matthew 6:33 many times in this past year. “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” In all my life, ditching everything - literally every thing - has been such an odd thing to me. I mean, how would i completely ditch every single thing in my life right now and run to Jesus? Yes, i wanted God in my life but throwing everything else away to walk to Jesus seemed like an extremely risky thing to do especially when i’m not even sure where to go or what’s going to happen when i do get there. Yet, Matthew 6:33 kept repeating itself every where i went, in church sermons, devotions, bible reading, even random posts on Facebook by my friends. I knew that God was calling me, and it was impossible to ignore it. Which is why in the past few weeks i have been somehow just so motivated to drop every single thing and walk towards Him.
“Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders, let me walk upon the waters, wherever You would call me.”
“Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander, and my faith will be made stronger, in the presence of my Savior”
Those are lyrics to the song and i felt so strongly about both lines. The first, is what i truly want from God at this point of my life. I have this strong desire to just walk in faith and follow Him wherever He may lead me. The second line, “Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander, and my faith will be made stronger” just shows that what we should want for ourselves as Christians is to be able to be incredibly obedient to God’s call, even if it means going into the unknown (deeper than your feet could ever wander), stating that even if it sounds ridiculous and completely impossible, we should be 100% willing to follow Him. And in that process, we get stronger spiritually and that’s what we all strive for, no? To have a stronger relationship with God and be able to withstand anything because our God is SOOOO GREAT! The song oceans is also called “Where Feet May Fail”, and i truly want God to take me places where it’s impossible for me on my own, physically, mentally or emotionally, but i want Him to lead me there anyways so that He can be my anchor and my rock and i can lean and rely on Him 100%.
I feel so strongly about this and lately His presence has just been the amazing part of my life, the reason why i am so happy to praise Him all day and night whenever. I find myself constantly humming to oceans or some other worship song, singing my lungs out in the car praising God all the way to my exam hall and back home. Haha. It feels so nice to be able to cry for God, to cry because you know how much He loves you and how much He wants you to know Him. Thank you Jesus, for yesterday, today, and tomorrow. For everything.
