awake

I heard a song on the way home tonight by Matt Maher. Christ is Risen.

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

I felt like the song was talking about me. These past few months, changing our entire lives, moving, being away from my husband, have been hard. But through it all I was seeking God. Seeking Him more than I have in a long time. Reading his word, listening to worship music, praying more... And I realized tonight on the way home that I AM AWAKE AGAIN! For so long I have been going about my life, not turned away from God, but not actively seeking Him either, and I was dead or asleep, however you want to put it.  I was so excited about how open my eyes are to all that God has placed in my path. The people at work I have the chance to share His love with. The opportunity I have to teach our son about God and pray over him and teach him how to pray and watch him grow in to a might man of God. The need for prayer and God's love in this city. The overwhelming desire to lead worship in a body of believers. Moving here was scary. But through God's eyes I see that this is the path he wants us on & he is going to open doors wide for us to touch lives and help get his message of HOPE and LOVE out to the people who need it. 

I heard another song that is a PERFECT explanation of how our relationship with God works: 

The more I seek you,
the more I find you.
The more I find you,
the more I love you

This is so simple but so true. If we earnestly, daily seek the Lord, we will find Him and we will be amazed at the abundance of love and wisdom he wants to pour out in our lives when we diligently seek HIM!!!!

AMEN!
