This morning the words
"LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND" kept playing in my mind,
as when these words hit me I kept singing them, as they are the lyrics to a song.
As tears fill my eyes
they come from a stance of great sorrow,
yet of great freedom.
As GOD has met me in every sorrow
as I have been
LEAVING IT ALL BEHIND,
as surrender is giving up a part of yourself that you want to hold onto,
but GOD is asking you to
TRUST HIM
with your most precious possession
which is your HEART.
Our HEART~
the core of our being.
Our HEART~
the receiver of love
and also of sorrow.
Our HEART~
the receiver of the ONE who
came to heal the brokenhearted.
I am not being a debbie downer
as I am smiling
for the JOY OF THE LORD overwhelms me
because HE is my HEART FILLER
because HIS SON comes and just doesn't put a bandaid
on our brokenness
as HE FILLS it
with HIMSELF.
So LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
isn't just a cliche
as it is a way of life
that allows us to PRESS FORWARD
to LIVE in the moment
just as Paul has written~
"Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have made it my own yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [heavenly] prize of the upward call of GOD in CHRIST JESUS"(Philippians 3:12-14).
LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
becomes a way of life
that becomes natural as breathing
because
JESUS
goes beyond just healing,
as that is just the beginning
for what HE has prepared for us
is beyond what our eyes can see
in the here and now
because IN CHRIST
we are so full
so satisfied
and all we have to do
is
LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND.
And then you start
breathing like it is the first time
and you become lighter and lighter
as
PEACE fills your heart
because
JOY becomes a reality that you can't explain.
LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
isn't just a cliche
as it is a SURRENDER
to a gentle sweet sweet
JESUS
who meets you right where you are
filling your HEART holes
with more of HIM.
Oh it is really so simple
when we
LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
and come to
"THE WELL" (listen to the song below)
