Breathe into my spirit

I'm no musician, in fact, I can't carry a note to save my life; but there is just something about music that inspires me.

For me, music is my worship.

When ever I clean the house I blare Hillsong like I'm at a concert right in front of them, and most times find myself standing in the kitchen arms raised, praising the Holy One.

Lately I've been on a JJ Heller kick. She.is.amazing.
I love her soft acoustic voice, and her lyrics are unbelievable. Here's an oldie, but a favorite.

Only Love Remains

Scenes of you come rushing through

You are breaking me down

So break me into pieces

That will grow in the ground

I know that I deserve to die

For the murder in my heart

So be gentle with me Jesus

As you tear me apart

Please kill the liar

Kill the thief in me

You know that I am tired of their cruelty

Breathe into my spirit

Breathe into my veins

Until only love remains

You burn away the ropes that bind

And hold me to the earth

The fire only leaves behind whatever is of worth

I begin to see reality for the first time in my life

I know that I'm a shadow

But I'm dancing in your light

Teach me to be humble

Call me from the grave

Show me how to walk with you upon the waves

Breathe into my spirit

Breathe into my veins

Until only love remains

That's what I want: Jesus to tear me apart. I want His to kill the thief in me and the liar. I want nothing but love to radiate from me.
Sometimes I have to pull myself down to reality and make sure I know I'm not perfect and that I have a long long way to go. I tend to spend a couple day's with God and feel great then go a week without anytime with Him, reminding myself about those two great days.
That's not how it works.
Song's like these remind me of the blatant truth that I'm not even willing to tell myself sometimes.

I love reminders.

Show me how to walk with you upon the waves, breathe into my spirit, breathe into my veins.

I need to have God breathing in my veins and spirit.
I need Him daily to be with me, for every action, decision I make, and words I use. It's insane to me how people think they can do this life without Him, what makes sense to them?

Beloved, it makes sense to us because we're dancing in His light.

So dance. Don't just walk or jog, but dance in His light because it's the greatest light you'll ever receive. Radiate it back! It's not like a tan that will show up and then be gone in a couple months...this light is forever!

Sometimes I have to go back to the basics with God and I love songs like this. It makes my heart come alive with love for my Savior and reminds me that I do need Him daily.
I need to remember, not just during a wonderful song, but all the time that Jesus loves me.
I want nothing left but love for God.

Go dance in His light!

Your sister in Christ,
