Let's start new. Let's start over with a sweet, sweet story about Jesus and His precious daughter named Jessica.
Jessica has been in her room for two days, mas o menos. She gives me a headache. Usually a heartache, too. Tonight, she finally wants to repent and turn it all around. As I prayed for the Holy Spirit to reveal to me what to say, I spoke to her. The Lord reminded me how I read in Revelations, earlier this afternoon, that He is the Root. I spoke to her about how He must be her root. We spoke about how in order to produce fruit, she must be connected to Him. Without Him, she dies. Without Him, she fails. Without Him, the tree falls over and cannot withstand ANYTHING. We need His living water!
We finished chatting on the porch as the sweet wind blew on this gorgeous day. As we cooked dinner, iTunes was on shuffle. For Your Splendor by Christy Nockels came on and I just started to cry. Jessica, LISTEN!! This is from JESUS to you!
His love is truly intoxicating.
I'm so concerned with what I look like from the outside
Will I blossom into what You hope I'll be
Yet You're so patient just to help me see
The blooms come from a deeper seed that You planted in me
Sometimes it's hard to grow when everybody's watching
To have your heart pruned by the one who knows best
And though I'm bare and cold I know my season's coming
And I'll spring up in Your endless faithfulness
With my roots deep in You I'll grow the branch that bears the fruit
And though I'm small, I'll still be standing in the storm
'Cause I am planted by the river by Your streams of living water
And I'll grow up strong and beautiful, all for Your splendor, Lord
So with my arms stretched out, I'm swaying to Your heartbeat
I'm growing with the sound of Your voice calling
You're bringing out the beauty that You have put in me
For Your joy and for Your glory falling
