A very dear friend, Eunice, left me a message and a video in my multiply account. A song that I currently love. It’s from the Hillsong and the title is Oceans will part.
It was also Eunice who introduced me to this song and I fell in the love the moment I listened to it.
“If my heart has grown cold
There Your love will unfold”
A lot of times I have given up hope. I felt that God did not love me. But every time that feeling crept in, He would embrace me with His love and remind me again that He loves me more than anything in this world.
“When I’m blind to my way
There Your Spirit will pray”
I am stubborn and do things my way. Over and over again, I force God to submit to what I want because I think that that is the best for me. Over and over again, He would gently remind me that forcing the issue would lead to more heart aches. Every time this happens, the Holy Spirit would groan for me, changing my heart to see God’s best.
“Present suffering may pass
Lord Your mercy will last “
Currently, I am living amidst the consequences of wrong decisions made in the past. I cry a lot, and ask forgiveness every time I remember my disobedience. But God in His infinite mercy and grace would remind me that this too shall pass.
“Oceans will part nations come
At the whisper of Your call
Hope will rise glory shown
In my life Your will be done “
The God that I serve can make oceans part at His mere whisper. Powerful nations will bow down at His glory.
I am stubborn and sing “In my life sometimes Your will be done.” In situations like this where I am paying for the consequences, I repent. But when things seems right in my eyes, my will be done and not the Lord’s. Then I pay the consequences and ask forgiveness again. A vicious cycle that I cannot end on my own.
“And my heart will find praise
I’ll delight in Your way
As You open my eyes to the work of Your hand”
