stronger

It’s been a year or so since I’ve made this blog which I never use and I am still just as prone to wander.  I am seeing though how God uses brokenness, my wandering to draw me back to Him and come to a deeper place of worship.  I love the lyrics to this song Stronger. “Faithfulness none can deny through the storm and through the fire, there is  truth that sets me free, Jesus Christ who lives in me.  You are stronger, you are stronger, Sin is broken you have saved me.  It is written Christ is Risen, Jesus you are Lord of ALL!”  This song just makes me weep.  He is stronger, stronger than my fears, my doubts, my anxious heart, my sin, my faithlessness.  Strength is in the Lord! 

I’ve had an emotional and sad few months.  Reality has been different than my expectations.  I have been broken over a guy, a friendship, and several life situations.  I have seen how my love is tainted with sin, selfishness, and with strings attached.  I’ve seen the idol of wanting a spouse, wanting to be a perfect friend, wanting to be needed, wanting to be seen as steady rocked.  Through the tears, through the sadness I have seen God’s faithfulness.  I’ve seen how strength is in the Lord and how He is constant when everything around me is changing.  I am so prone to wander and so quick to forget that He is Stronger.
