Love came down and rescued me
Love came down and set me free
I am yours
I am forever yours
Mountain high or valley low, I sing out and remind my soul
I am yours
I am forever yours!
I am yours, I am yours, I am yours, Jesus I AM YOURS!
I have sung this song by Kari Jobe in my car so many times I cannot count them on my hands. Focusing on the harmony and hitting the accurate notes. Thinking of how amazing her voice is and how I can only dream of sounding like her. Never focusing on the words.
Never, as I sang this song, did I truly realize what I was saying. Until now, while I was lying in my bed listening to Pandora. Love (Jesus) came down to rescue me. To rescue you. To set us free of those things that keep us bound to our aches and pains here on earth. But why is that so hard for me to understand? I think I am afraid to be alone with myself long enough to find out. I know that God has more for me and is waiting for me to finally open up and say - I AM YOURS! To say - I acknowledge your presence and this great LOVE that you have for me and I am ready to walk forward with you leading me in all that I do.
He is so much more than I have ever imagined. He has always been here with me, but for awhile I feel like I let Him slip through my life. That I decided He would be better as a spectator than a participant. BUT He has slowly been creeping in. :) Reappearing when I least expected Him to. Showing me over and over how much His love encompasses my life. I feel this insane need and drive to grow closer to the One who loves me so much that He already came and rescued me - He has set me free!
He has surrounded me with these equally insane people that have blessed my life beyond explanation. Through them I have seen God working in mighty ways in their lives and those lives that they touch. I see God working in them and they in turn respond to his prodding. I want that. I need that. I am His - forever! He won't turn me loose. :)
Well, I'm saying it now - I acknowledge your presence and this great love that you have for me and I am ready to walk forward with you leading me in all that I do. No more waiting to see God, but whole heartily pursuing Him.
Lookout God... here I come.
