“Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever you would call me.”
Lyrics to one of my favorite worship songs. Every time I listen to that song I say “Yes, God! Lead me, call me wherever you want me to go!” But is that really the cry of our hearts? Are we really willing to let go of what we want to let God have his way completely and without conditions?
I, for one, struggle with that. I like control. I like things done a certain way. And I can be resistant to change, good or bad. But do you know where that gets us in our personal lives? In our church? Absolutely nowhere.
Isaiah 43:19(NLT) says” For I am about to do something new. See, I have
already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the
wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.”
I believe God is ready to do something new and amazing in our lives and in our church. Something that is so far beyond anything that we can dream for ourselves. But the thing is, God won’t force himself on us.
We have to not only be willing to say yes to Him, but to live it out in faith every single day.
I feel the stirring in my spirit, I feel it on our church. But we have to lay it all down, everything we want or think we need. We have to throw our arms open wide to the One who wants to revive us and to do more than we can ever imagine.
I want to let go and BE MORE.
I want to live out my faith in such a way that it cannot be contained.
I want to trust without borders and to go wherever I am called.

“O God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and
made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further
grace. I am ashamed of my lack of desire. O God, the Triune God, I want
to want Thee; I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more
thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee, so that I may know Thee
indeed. Begin in mercy a new work of love within me. Say to my soul, ‘Rise
up my love, my fair one, and come away.’ Then give me grace to rise and
follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long.”
