Treasures

If you know anything about me then you know I love music. Look at any of my previous post and you'll see several posts that are music related. There are a couple of reasons I love music but the main reason I feel like I do is because it somehow resonates the words I sometimes can never find to say. But I also find that sometimes music will actually not give me the words to say but actually it will give me a message that I sometimes need to hear.

This week hasn't particularly been the easiest week for me. Just a lot of things happened back to back and I had no idea how to deal with it all at once. I felt like I had no control. I didn't know who to turn to. I felt like God wasn't listening. But all week I had been listening to this sing about "how rich a treasure [Jesus] we possess". Today I finally understood what the true message God was trying to give me behind that song. So often I try to control everything-- but if I actually stop and think and look at what Jesus did for me He's already done all the work. I'm making myself tired trying to save everyone when that's impossible because He's already done everything that needs to be done. I have to look up to him and allow Him to do the work in his way-- not mine.

How rich a treasure we surly do possess if we actually stood back and realized it. I'm thankful for the true realization today and the peace that came with it.
