Man Overboard

Just this morning, I got a beautiful, loving, gentle reminder of where my healing, wholeness, peace and fulfillment lie in their entirety! I was watching videos of praise music...tuned in to Morris Chapman singing "Falling in Love with Jesus"... as well as "He is Able"... Morris, in his rich, exquisite tones reminded all who fell within the sound of his voice that God is able to "do much more than I could ever dream." I love the part of "He is Able" that says that God is more than able to "make me what He wants me to be." What. He. Wants. What a beautiful, glorious promise. What peace, what rest for the Christian soul. Not only do I not have to decide what is best for me to do and become, but I am not responsible for getting myself there, either. Back to the first song I mentioned..."Falling in Love with Jesus"... this morning this song threw a balm of absolute peace over my soul as I was reminded of the all-encompassing pleasure, the joy, of being in fellowship with Jesus. If I never got another gift, achieved another milestone, the riches of His fellowship would still make me overflow...what a treasure!!!

I am ready to abandon ship...the ship of wrong-thinking, worldly yearnings, self-centered living, guilt-ridden fear, the whole moldy, rotted-plank mess. I am ready to abandon myself to Christ, yet again. The richest time of growth in my Christian life was also a time marked by enjoying a lot of praise music. There is healing in the presence of God. EVERY single need is met in His presence. There is absolutely no lack there.
