Today the song that touched my heart was "Show Me Your Glory" by Third Day. Particularly two different lines. The first one is "I saw a glimpse of your splendor....And I know I will never be the same". I feel like this was me about a month ago. I felt the Lord take my heart and make it like Him so that His will can be done. I have no way to explain it other that hope that you have experienced something along the same lines. You know that time where the Lord just does something pretty amazing in your life and in you or for you and you know that it was ALL the Lord and all you can do is stand in awe of his Glory and pray that you never forget that experience. (Is that a run-on? lol) I know that there are ways that the Lord can show you His glory and I know that there are ways that you can experience it. You can see it when you look at some of His creation and see what the hand of God has created it. Or you can experience it in a time where the Lord works in ways that can not be explained. For me, He took my heart and gave me complete forgiveness, true love, and total willingness for the Lord and the people He has created. I was hurting in ways that I hope no one has to experience but I also knew what the Lord wanted and heard His voice so clear in my heart telling me and guiding me towards His will. It was amazing.
The second line is "When I climb down from that mountain... I won't settle for ordinary things." I know that after that experience, I never want to go back to who I was. I was on a mountain, but I never want to be in the same valley that I was in. I know that I will go trough valleys and I will experience dry spells. But I also know what it feels like to have the Lord lead me trough those spells and pull me trough white as snow. I hold on to that knowledge/memory when I do not feel Him. I hold onto the knowledge/memory when I sin and know that the Lord will forgive me. I have faith in the Lord's power and presence because I experienced it in a time that I had nothing else to use.
I had a little taste of the full splendor of the Lord and I know that I never want to forget that or I never want to forget how the Lord worked in me.
My prayer for you is that you remember the Lord when you are going trough hard times. Remember what the Lord has done in you even if it was just one time and cling to that and search for it. Because when you you search for that "experience" or "feeling" He will show Himself to you. Maybe in little ways or in big ways. Maybe by a song or just a couple words from someone who loves you. Maybe you won't notice anything for a while, but you can have faith and hope that He WILL work, in HIS time.
