A step of Faith...

Take my life, take it all
There is nothing worth me clinging to but You
Search my heart, search my hands
Wash me from the stains, ‘til what remains is true
I lift my head, You lift my soul
Shining as the sun, You’re the kindest one I know
So hear my voice, I make my vow
To hold nothing in my heart but all You’ve sown

"Take My Life" by Seth Parks

I really do view my life as a journey, with every day sometimes being a battle. How we as humans try to live a life for someone so much greater and above us is a mystery. How do serve and love Him when we are so different then He? My greatest battle is within my mind. I long to trust Him but feel a constant wrestle with my idea's of how things should or could be. He's ways are so mysterious. I don't understand how He gives and takes life. How sometimes he intervenes and some times He holds back for the sake of our will and broken flesh. How does He make that choice? How do we trust Him for things in the future when He hasn't operated in the power He could have in past situations? He knows all, and I know so little. This is what gives me hope and the strength to choose yes to Him in the midst of my fears and doubts. My vision is so small compared to His. I'm human, and He is God, of course He can take better care then I can. It's such a simple concept in thought, but so complicated in actual daily practice. He has made me a new creation, and through His Holy Spirit I have the opportunity to live by the Spirit and not my flesh. Help me Lord! He really is our only Hope, Lord help me cling to no other thing but You and the truth and promises you've given me. Help my heart be tender and not offended towards You in this journey!
