I am... broken...

Today was one of those days where you take stock of your life and where God has taken you from. Thought I would share a song I worte about 8 months ago, which at the time made no sense. I feel God meant for me to write that song as a cry for help, and I can't tell you how many times I sang this song in the shower every morning for the past 6 weeks.

I come to you now seeking answers

I'm sorry I've fallen again

I tried to be a better man

To live my life a little more like yours

But I fall far too short

Mend me now

I am broken, I am broken

Show me how, to live for You

Even when my world is falling apart

And now that you take me back again

Let not my strength be my own

I want to be that little flame

That shines your light

To each and every man

Set me on fire now

Fill me now

I am empty,I am empty

Show me how, to live for You

Even when my world is falling apart

I guess when we go through seasons of testing and trial we feel like this in one way or the other. But I'm always encouraged by Job's discussion with God. How he was honest and broken before God about what was happening to him, humbled by the fact that by his own strength he could do nothing to change it. And giving in to the lavish love and grace God has for each of us to get him through it. That's what helps me get up in the morning, knowing that if there is one person left with to hang out with in my life that's Jesus. And even though things look bleak, he is my treasure, he is my sanctuary, he is my fortress. If you are going through hectic times, forget what is happening around you and focus on what he's doing in you

Have a great day people
