Jesus is my focus.... it's been a year since my dad was allowed to slip from this earth to heaven. A year of drought in the dessert of my broken heart of prayers not answered as I wanted. But just as He promised, God never left me and I'm glad to say, the melody is humming in my heart once again. I've prayed for this longing, this unquenchable joy... a melody of love, worship, praise that you can't get out of your head because it stems from a heart filled with His joy.
Today's melody is Toby Mac's, "When Love Broke Through" and how appropriate. Talking about wandering through the dessert, hopelessness, and darkness. So, as I often do with these songs that plague my soul, I looked up the lyrics so I could read the words and these 3 phrases stuck with me:
Walls I built
Opinions I learned
Covered in the ashes of bridges I burned
Lord, I know you're still working on me. Please continue to shine and continue to help me forgive and move forward. Thank you for the lessons dad taught me, for the faith he shared, and for the special times we had. Help me to pass along that faith, that love, the joy that only You can bring.
