It always makes me crazy when I hear someone say "God wont give you more than you can handle!" Because I know...that in fact He WILL give you more than YOU can handle. Because He wants you to need HIM! I know that when I try to do things myself..God just sits up there and LAUGHS his head off. He probably calls the angels over and says "hey ya'll come check this out...Heather is trying to go at it alone...again" and they watch me make everything a big ol' hot mess.
I know that Jesus loves it when I come to Him broken and needing Him more than I need anything else. When I am so empty...like really really empty....He fills me up. And not in a "Oh gosh here comes Heather again...." way....in a "Oh sweet daughter, I am SOOOOOOO happy to see you" its like when you take time to go see your grandma or papa...and you havent been to see them in a long time. When you get there they are SOOOO excited to see you, and when you have to leave they keep trying to get you to stay longer. Thats how I see it with Jesus...when I come to Him, He just wants me to stay with Him.
I know that I am a work in progress...and that as long as I keep coming to Him to make me whole, and healed, and filled....things will work out awesome. Because Jesus is pretty legit. And He loves me, more than anyone on this earth could EVER love me. And guess what...He loves you too. And He WILL give you more than you can handle. But He will NEVER give you more than you can handle with Him. Because you can do ALL things in and through Him.
MMM kay? Have a wonderful weekend Lovies!
"Keep Making Me" Sidewalk Prophets
Make me broken
So I can be healed
‘Cause I’m so calloused
And now I can’t feel
I want to run to You
With heart wide open
Make me broken
Make empty
So I can be filled
‘Cause I’m still holding
Onto my will
And I’m completed
When you are with me
Make me empty
[Chorus:]
‘Til You are my one desire
‘Til You are my one true love
‘Til You are my breath, my everything
Lord, please keep making me
Make me lonely
So I can be Yours
‘Til I want no one
More than You, Lord
‘Cause in the darkness
I know You will hold me
Make me lonely
So I can be healed
‘Cause I’m so calloused
And now I can’t feel
I want to run to You
With heart wide open
Make me broken
Make empty
So I can be filled
‘Cause I’m still holding
Onto my will
And I’m completed
When you are with me
Make me empty
[Chorus:]
‘Til You are my one desire
‘Til You are my one true love
‘Til You are my breath, my everything
Lord, please keep making me
Make me lonely
So I can be Yours
‘Til I want no one
More than You, Lord
‘Cause in the darkness
I know You will hold me
Make me lonely
love it. the sad part is when we ONLY go to him when we need something or are a broken mess. im sure he would love if we came to him just loving on him for being so wondeful. i do that far too often. although i know he is there because he is so faithful, he deserves the credit more than i give him...
