Glorietta
Overnight You take away the weeping,
wake me from my sleeping and I greet the morning light.
Overwhelmed I turn my face to see you,
Once again I'm free to live my Glorietta life.
The sun rises on me in the morning without regard to emotion
If I cry myself to sleep,
is it swollen eyes that cause me not to see?
What if I cried myself asleep tonight, separate from You?
You still beckon in the morning, every morning.
I won't be separate from you.
~Morning September
As I was listening to this song, the last line really hit me:
"I won't be separate from you"
There is nothing that we can do to be separate from God. How awesome is that? Sure we can pull ourselves from Him and He can seem distant, but even still, He is there.
Jesus took sin upon himself and felt,saw, experienced everything we have, therefore he is able to relate with us in any situation.
When Jesus died on the cross, God turned his face away because he couldn't look at the sin that Jesus had taken on. Jesus was willing to take on all the sin ever committed (past, present, future), and die because He wanted us to be with Him. That's how much He loves us and would do anything for us, me. When Jesus died He knew that He was greater than death, and How much more powerful God was than the enemy. So Jesus trusted the Father when He asked if the cup would pass from Him, "But not my will be done but yours be done".
He had so much confidence in God. That was the only way it could be done.
I know this is stuff that we already know. But for myself, I get so used to hearing the same thing over and over, that I become calloused. I don't want to become calloused. I wish to always be sensitive and be open to what God is wanting to tell me. I have a hard time reading the same scripture over and over because I feel like I won't get anything out of it. But that's what so cool about the Holy Spirit, and how he can show you something new in the same scripture that you have heard all your christian life. This is something that I am continually reminding myself and struggle with.
If I cannot be separate for God, then He is around me always. Which means that He is willing to show us something new any time we ask. I just need to learn to be paitent and wait for him to reveal it.
