You Take My Breath Away

“He literally took my breath away with His creation! He was so clearly working on me to worship Him in other ways.  There is so much more to worship than singing!”

Great observation about how God will show us the things that “creep in” to nudge HIM from the throne of our life!  I’m not saying here that Julie was taking her eyes off her Lord and Savior, not at all.  We do however, as Christians, allow our focus to drift.

God gifted Julie with a tremendous ability to worship Him through playing the piano, singing and writing, beautifully!  She enters into worship this way and there is nothing wrong with the process and certainly not the results.

“And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.” ~Philippians 1:6

In bringing us to be like Christ, I’ve started learning that HE will place times of testing in our life and for HIS very own reasons… Phil 1:6.

Whether music, service, giving our tithes, teaching, preaching, outreach, compassionate ministries, etc. All of these are right and He alone is worthy, yet they must remain ALL about HIM!!!

Such a blessing to see sensitivity to the Holy Spirit in council and correction applied.  I believe as we Journey With Christ, course corrections, both gentle and extreme, are God’s way of bringing our focus directly and firmly back to Himself.

I believe, starting with myself, we can take a special lesson to heart through what Julie has shared about this difficult time in her journey.  Julie, thank you for your continued transparency and allowing me to write as He leads my heart, mind and soul from what you share.

“You Take My Breath Away”, may this be our prayer and goal today!  Yes LORD, please open my eyes to see!!!

Blessings & Peace Always,
