” Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander.”
WAIT.
So I’m supposed to ask and want You to take me deeper? To that point where I have absolutely no control? God why would you want to make my worst fear come true? Why would you want ME TO WANT THAT?
That’s rude!
* Que more weeping alongside some confusion, and now throw in some irritation.*
Jesus.
And just when I was starting to shut down and say ” the hell with that” a voice began another verse and my ears tuned back into the song and heard;
” I will call upon Your Name, and keep my eyes above the waves. My soul will rest in your embrace, cause I am Yours and You are mine.”
Keep my eyes above the waves.
My eyes.
Not my “head”,
but my eyes.
So while I’m down here under the waves my eyes will look above them.
” I will rest in your embrace.”
So I won’t panic and flail around.
” I will rest in your embrace.”
NO I won’t panic, I will rest in your embrace.
I will trust that you have a reason for calling me to these depths. I will trust that you are going to give me exactly what I need in order to survive down here.
” Because I am Yours, and You are mine.”
Jesus is taking me deeper in so many things; in my walk with Him, in the healing of past broken relationships, in the restoration of old ones long left alone, in the beginning of new ones.
In the way I love and reach out to others, in my Healing Prayer ministry class, in the calling He’s placed on my life to be an intercessor.
In every aspect of my life He is calling me to come deeper with Him.
And it’s scary and uncomfortable. But it’s where He’s waiting for me, so it’s where I choose to be.
” Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander, where my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Savior.”
This is where I am headed.
Deeper.
