Thursday Thoughts: May the Vision Of Him

There are certain songs, that when I sing them, I find myself falling on my knees before my God.  As we were in the mountains this weekend I heard one of those songs, Shane and Shane's Vision of You.  Now I have heard this song a countless number of times but for some reason this time was different, I actually heard the words and saw the mountains and the creation and it made sense to me.  The chorus goes like this:

Awaken what's inside of me, Tune my heart to all You are in me, Even though You're here God come.  And MAY THE VISION OF YOU BE THE DEATH OF ME, and even though you've given everything Jesus come.

It is that line, "may the vision of you be the death of me" that hit me so hard this time.  It was seeing Him in His creation that let me realize, for a moment, how big my great God is.  And at seeing that came the desire to lay my life, my thoughts, my will, my desires at His feet that He may be glorified in me in some small way.  

My prayer for us this week is that we are a church that feels the weight of those beautiful words and strives, oh how we will not do this perfectly, but may we strive to live a life humbled before a huge loving and just God.  Imagine if the world around us saw a church in love with a real and powerful Jesus that changed everything about us.  May we continue to strive after this and may we look to each other for encouragement.  I love you guys and can't wait to see you Sunday!!!! Have a great end to your week.

LOVE GOD LOVE PEOPLE
