Reflecting

One of my favorite music artists is Jeremy Camp (@jeremycampofficial).. he is a Christian artist. His story is heartbreaking yet heart-warming, I can relate to his testimony. His songs have been a part of my playlist since 2002! They’ve helped me get through some rough spots and brought me closer to the Fathers heart! If you haven’t heard of him.. go search him now!

I was listening to a newer song of his this morning, called “Father”.

Here are some of the lyrics:

“I was born to need you, to wipe the tears I cry. Yes, you made me a child so you could be my 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿. I'm your child and you're my 𝗳𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.“

It has taken me over 40 years to understand how to look to the Lord and see my “Father”! One who cares and loves, nurtures and protects, loves it when I speak, wants to guide me, and desires my company, knows every intricate part of me and will 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 leave me or forsake me!! 

I won’t explain here how the struggle to understand His love always led to a parallel between God and my paternal father - let’s just say I believed the two were the same - I have come to realize the difference; I’ve found the crossroads and now “get it!” 💡

I serve and love a God that will never give up on me.

He created me uniquely for His pleasure and purpose. Although I’m in the middle of grief and sorrow because of my daughters passing, He surrounds me.

He walks with me still and whispers,

 “I am here”.

He wipes every tear, carries it and says, “I will make all things new.”

He holds all my prayers in a bowl as like incense and will answer every.single.one when He finally calls the redeemed home!

My heart is full when I think on these truths! Perhaps someone reading this needs to know it too! Run to the Father.
