OverwhelmED....

The lyrics of this song speak volumes now to me:

In the quiet of my soul
In the stillness I hear Your voice call
And I am overwhelmed
And I am lost for words
To describe You

Jesus, You're more than a friend
Jesus, You're more than my heart could ever express
Your love and Your grace never fail me
Your merciful touch always heals me
You bring joy to my soul
Joy to my soul

My heart longs to worship You, my King
And I long to bring You a pleasing offering
And I am overwhelmed
And I am lost for words
To describe You

I guess, there are just so many times when I am overwhelmed by the fact that Jesus knows our every need and He keeps us so close to His heart. There are just so many times when I feel as if the things that I'm going through are like the sharpest of thorns and it hurts as if these thorns have pierced my heart, deep and all simultaneously. OUCH! But you know, the most comforting thing is that Jesus knows it all. He hears all the prayers. He keeps them all so close to His heart. And yes, we all do not deserve it. And this all, brings joy to my soul. Because in a fallen world, God shows us the true meaning of love, of hope, of joy. And I am very overwhelmed.

Thank You for being such a God. Such love. Such grace. Such mercy.

Thank you, girl, for calling and just checking on me. I know how much God loves me when HE sends people like you into my life! Thanks Yan.
