I am stunned by how much God loves me… How like a gentle father He didn’t let me out of his hand, didn’t let me fall, but showed me exactly what I was doing and why I was doing it. He spoke to me, comforted me, healed me and restored me. He affirmed me and assured me of His love… took me in His arms, let me cry in His lap and loved me… and then showed me what He has for me and reminded me of His promises for my future… I am stunned…
For the last two days, God has been speaking to me so consistently, so clearly, so lovingly, making me see His will for me as well as His love and grace for me… When all I could do was blame myself for my foolishness and beat myself up for what looked like failure to me, He lifted me up, letting me know I was still His child, and still a human prone to making mistakes… and that it was ok.
The conclusion? This song was on repeat in my car as I was driving to church from work tonight… As I was bawling my eyes out in pure desperation, I encountered God and this is my most sincere prayer after all that I’ve learned…
I’m letting it go. I can’t do it nor is it my place to. I trust God to want it more than I do and to finish what He started…
Fire against fire… The fire of salsa against the fire of my passion for God and for people… Light that burns within me…
Speak For Me lyrics
Jaci Velasquez
What have I to offer
To a world in need
Yet for some unknown reason
You have chosen me
Lord You've set my journey
You've prepared the way
Still, I'm desperate for the words to say
All I am is willing
All I have is in Your hands
Speak for me, this my plea
Say the words I can't express
Sing for me a heavenly melody
That the people will be blessed
Speak for me
Every brief encounter
That You send my way
Is a chance to show the love You gave me
I see their troubled faces
A hunger deep inside
Lord, I depend on You to touch their lives
Light what burns within me
Let Your truth shine through my life
Sing for me, set me free
And they will see Your holiness
Speak for me
'Cause Your love will lead them on to heaven's gate
Where they can look upon Your face
Light what burns within me
Let Your truth shine through my life
Speak for me, this my plea
Say the words I can't express
Sing for me a heavenly melody
That the people will be blessed
Speak for me
Sing for me, set me free
And they will see Your holiness
Speak for me
You're all I have to offer to a world in need.
