On the Drive

On my drive into work today I was listening to "The Message" on Sirius XM. (Sidenote: my trial subscription will expire soon and I will be devastated to go back to regular radio!) Anyhow, a song from Mercy Me came on. It was a song I have heard countless times before but this morning it truly spoke to me. I have been struggling as of late with the desires in my heart. I tell myself after everything that has happened in the last year that God is in control and I know He will give me strength no matter what. There are times where it is easier to remind myself of that, and times where I need to tell myself that constantly. I truly hope and pray that God brings someone into my life that I can love the way He has called wives to love their husbands. I know that if that never happens, that I will continue to serve the Lord and look to glorify Him in other ways. Anyhow, all this to say- it has been a struggle to remind myself that even though that is something I long for, it is not something that makes or breaks my life. In praying this morning I asked God to continue to remind me that there are few things that matter on earth. It only truly matters if it is doing something to further the kingdom of God. I was blessed when the song "Beautiful" came on as I was thinking about all these things.

Days will come when you don't have the strength

And all you hear is you're not worth anything

Wondering if you ever could be loved

And if they truly saw your heart they'd see too much

You're beautiful

You're beautiful

You are made for so much more than all of this

You're beautiful

You're beautiful

You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His

You're beautiful

Praying that you'd have the heart to fight

'Cause you are more than what is hurting you tonight

For all the lies you've held inside so long

They are nothing in the shadow of the cross

You're beautiful

You're beautiful

You are made for so much more than all of this

You're beautiful

You're beautiful

You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His

You're beautiful

Before you ever took a breath

Long before the world began

Of all the wonders He possessed

There was one more precious

Of all the earth and skies above

You're the one He madly loves

Enough to die

You're beautiful

You're beautiful

In His eyes

You're beautiful

You were meant for so much more than all of this

You're beautiful

You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His

You're beautiful

You're beautiful

You're meant for so much more than all of this

You're beautiful

You're beautiful

You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His

Not only was I reminded that my calling is for far greater things than these little moments, but I was reminded that I do have a love in my life. A love far greater than that of any mere person. I am so grateful of these gentle reminders and the love my Father showers on me daily!
