Brandon Heath has this way of getting right down to the heart of the matter. So far every song I've heard of his I love AND I relate to! I have a feeling he and I would have some good, deep conversations.
I really heard the words to this song a week or so ago. And it hit me for a couple of reasons. One, at the beginning of the song he says that from a young age he was intrigued (my word, not his) by the Light. I relate to that. I have always had this thing in my heart and mind that has leaned toward God (i.e. the Light). On my own I have always sought out God. And like him I haven't always gotten it right but I kept pressing in and trying to make the connection complete. As I get older I realize more and more it is God's love that is enough and all that is truly needed. The love of God is healing, powerful, restorative, defining, hope, and so much more! Two, I am a "doer" by nature. It's how I'm wired, by God. But being a "doer" makes it hard to be a "be-er". And God's greatest hope for me is to first "be" and then the "doing" comes out of that naturally. But I, like the song states have given a lot of effort over the course of my life and it has cost me greatly and it has worn me out! :) But God has seen it all and none of it has been lost on him or with him. His love has moved in and restored this weary heart and has empowered my to continue to "do" while I learn how to "be". His love is the only thing that I really have to give and to lean on.
Not a day goes by that I don't grow in awareness of how amazing his love is and how necessary his love is in my life and the lives of others! It truly makes ALL the difference!
Your Love
