Breath of God

While I’m posting a ton, I thought I’d post this song that has really spoken to me lately.  

 

Breath of God by Shane and Shane

 

a life you cannot define
a purpose thats benign
they need to see and believe
be led to the rugged tree

the one on which he cried not for his pain but for our debt
the very same tree that He conquered death
it was an unfair deal on the part of Christ
He got my sin, i got eternal life

make me the breath of God
and i'll show them the One that means the most to me
they'll see the face of love
be touched by the very one who died upon the tree

small talk is a better choice
a way to avoid Your voice
i need to feel the dust on my knees
and lead them to the tree

will you follow Me, lead them to the tree
can't you just believe, will you take a knee for eternity 

I think about all the people at the hospital. I don’t want to just take care of the physical and not mention the love of Christ. I want them to know we are here because of Christ and no other reason. I pray that my life reflects his love to others. And to my kids. Man, I get so overwhelmed by the thought of raising my kids to know the Lord. I want to speak of Him at all times to them, bring Him up in every conversation but I don’t. I want them to know He is the best thing in the world, that they could never be satisfied with anything else. I want them to be men of integrity and men of His word. I just pray that I am faithful in my role as a mom. I don’t want them to remember me with a quick temper and one who yells. I want them to have a mother who is patient and kind. Who is gentle and loving in all she does. Just thinking about it makes me feel inadequate. But that’s my prayer. I’m striving to be better each day. Make me the breath of God and i'll show them the One that means the most to me. They'll see the face of love, be touched by the very one who died upon the tree.
