grace upon grace

About a year ago I was leading worship and I felt the words I was singing pierce my heart. Those words were "Come and do whatever you want to" and they follow to say "Whatever it looks like, whatever may come I am yours. Whether I sink, whether I swim it makes no difference when I'm beautifully in over my head." When I was singing those words I knew I wanted God to do just that, but there was also a part of me that was scared for what that might mean. Letting God use us is an act of faithfulness and trust. It doesn't always mean things will be comfortable and fun, actually it could mean just the opposite. But there is something so sweet about being vulnerable to God in those moments of utter brokenness. He comes in and sweeps you off your feet with His grace. You feel a closeness with him that you never felt in those comfortable seasons of life. A closeness so comforting you wouldn't trade it for the "good" season of life. You gain revelations of God when you're stripped of the old. When you let Him remake you. When you let Him reform you. When you truly let Him be the Lord of your life. When you realize He has been your life source all along. He has always stayed. He's been there through all the seasons. His grace is sufficient, He gives peace that surpasses understanding. Surprisingly, not to God but myself, I have found my purpose in my trials. He uses what was meant to break us to bless us. That purpose pushes me to get up and live again. His grace is my testimony, because even in my darkest days I'm beautifully in over my head in grace.
