Sweetly Broken

At the cross You beckon me
You draw me gently to my knees, and I am
Lost for words, so lost in love,
I’m sweetly broken, wholly surrendered

We played this song last night during worship. (Worship was awesome by the way. I am so thankful I am able to play with such talented musicians! You ever have that feeling when you are just so happy and excited you start smiling and laughing? Yeah, I get that overwhelming joy when I play with a really awesome team.) So before we started, the band sat down and discussed all of the songs and what they meant to us. And I got this song. (To be honest, Chad switched me songs and I was really disappointed I got this one) But as I sat there and read through the song, God showed me how relevant it was in my own life. 

It's incredible to me that the God has the power to break us down. He doesn't do it in a prideful way, but in a humble sweet way, that brings us to our knees. God is breaking me down. And He's not whispering in my ear "I told you so" or "Look at how far you have fallen". But He is telling me "Come back to me baby girl, it's okay". God wants me to rely on Him and Him alone. Earthly things will fade and will let us down. And that is why I must be completely reliant on Him. 

I mean, it is the most precious thing to me to see God take away things in my life that are pulling me from Him. Even though it hurts, God has shown me how much He loves me. And it is just the most beautiful kind of love that I can imagine.
