Yesterday I was just casually scrolling on Facebook waiting to go into work. You know when it pops up that a friend is “going to an event”, so it is kind of advertising for you to come also? They were going to the first ever Crossroads Music Concert. I love worship and I love concerts so what’s better? It was free. Now to find a friend to go with…. Bailey!
As we get there (late of course), we hop right into the first song. One of my favorites, Glorious Day by Passion, and I said “Okay YES this is gonna be good!” After a few songs in, I was really overwhelmed of just…. joy. complete joy.
THEN the best of all songs came on: Who You Say I Am by Hillsong. Holy Cannoli. I’ve heard this countless times… but never like last night.
So as I continue to stand and worship, we started singing the verse “In my Father’s house There’s a place for me”. It was like instant cold chills and TEARS. If you know me, I am not a big crier so the Lord is clearly up to something! (totally not complaining either!!)
I grew up without a father figure, just my AWESOME MOM! 😉 And before last night, I would constantly be wrestling with wondering what life would be like with one.
BUT GOD….. did something in my heart last night with that verse that completely shattered every worry, lie and wayward thought I had been battling and believing for years. I don’t even think I can properly put into words.
It was like God had opened my eyes and captured my heart once again by saying “Daughter, I am YOUR Father. You have a place with ME. I love you oh so much.”
This. This is why I was sobbing without care in the middle of this song. This is why I fell so deeply in love with God. He is MY Father and one day, oh the day of anticipation, of me running straight into His embrace because I get to meet my Father face-to-face.
