Drink

I’ve been listening to Ipod these past few days, come across this song that really impacted my life.
I could not find the exact lyrics from the net, I listen to the song and I type it down. There might be some parts that is incorrect.
Christian City Church Oxford Falls
Drink
Living in the desert
Tired of the heat
Over the dryness
I need to be free
I see the notion
I felt the breeze
I found it in Jesus
There’s a place that I could be
A place of Your freedom
A place I could rest
A place where Your river flows
A place where Your mercy goes
A place without anguish
A place I could drink
A place I could drink
A place I could drink
Drink of the water
Drink of the wine
Drink of the presence
Leave the dryness behind
Coming to Jesus
To let Him touch me again
Drink of the Spirit
Let it never ends
Really want to experience more of God in my life. Sometimes really felt that I’m standing in the desert, the heat is really killing me. Sometimes things get really tiring. Really want a place to rest.
Only in Jesus, that I can find refuge. A place where I can find true freedom. In Him, I no longer need to stay in desert. I can find the cool breeze, the refreshing water that will satisfy my thirst.
Never felt so hungry for God before. Every single day, really want to seek the face of God.
These few months, God’s been speaking to me in regards to quite a number of areas in my life.
Remember one of the occasion, God asked, ‘if all your life, I will not bless what you desire in your heart, will you still worship me as Lord? Will you still love me for who I am?’
I thought for a while, many things running through my mind. It is a difficult answer, personally. This answer demands a lot of sacrifice. This answer will show what’s your priority in life, to love the blessings or the One who will blesses.
Many things in my life that will affect my decision in answering this question. There are so many things that I really want. I was thinking to myself, if I really did not get all the things that I want, will be still be satisfied in God? Or I will be like Job’s wife, choose to be discouraged and want to stop to walk in righteousness. Or I will be like Job, despite that he lost everything, He still choose to love God.
Will I still love God for who He is?
I replied, ‘Yes Lord. I will love You all the days of my life. Even if I have nothing in return, I will still choose to love You. Loving You does not demand anything in return… all I ask for is to be in Your presence all the days of my life…’
Another time I asked God to show me my future, what will my future be. God showed me visions, but felt God speaking to me in my heart that whatever I saw is just the beginning. God did not want to show me everything cause it’s beyond what I could handle now. Felt the assurance in my heart that God is in control, God will take care of everything. God sees, God guides. Felt that God will bring me to a place where I’ll be happy, I’ll be satisfied, I’ll be secured. All I need is to trust in Him, to trust His heart.
Wow! I’m so excited for the future. I believe what God has prepared ahead for me will be very good. Sometimes really want future to happen straight away, but I know God knows best. His timing is always on time.
His ways are so wonderful. I’m amazed.
