There'll Be Days....

Some days start well. Some days you begin the day looking forward to what is on your plate for the next 12 hours...or so.  Some days you can hardly wait to begin.

Then there are the other days. The ones that you would rather pull the covers back up and have a do-over.  The days that you wish you did not have to begin.

That was today.

That was today until God sent his ever-so subtle reminder...which felt like a sledge-hammer.... that life isn't about how we feel or what side of the bed we get up on.  Life is about doing what He has asked us to do.

I entered a room, thinking I was alone, when in the quiet of the morning I began to hear a small voice sweetly singing.  She didn't know I was there, but it wouldn't have mattered.  Her heart was singing. As I listened closely to decipher what words this small angel was offering, I stopped and took it in....every syllable:

"Greater is the One living inside of me, Greater is the one living inside of me, He's greater, He's greater."

"Greater". We sing this song at school. She may not have had the words in correct order, but her theology is quite in order. God lives inside of her and she is trusting that He is greater than everything else.

"In the world, In the world....He's greater , He's greater."

In a thirty second period of time God spoke remarkably loud through a small voice.  The song says:

There'll be days I lose the battle

Grace says that it doesn't matter

'Cause the cross already won the war

He's Greater

He's Greater

I am learning to run freely

Understanding just how He sees me

And it makes me love Him more and more

He's Greater

He's Greater

We may lose the battle and give into our feelings.  We may think we have nothing to offer and not much to give.  Maybe it's the fact that we need to quit depending on what we can do and just launch ourselves into the life of showing others Who God is and how He loves.  

Our faithful God....He's just the WHOLE THING.  He knows me, He sees me, He loves me and that alone makes me "love Him more and more." 

I could have hugged all the goods out of this sweet girl today.  Without knowing it, her singing, her sincere voice and her willingness to let it all hang out spoke volumes to this one.  

"Greater is the One living inside of me, that he who is living in the world".  

The next time you hear this song, sing it like a little blonde-haired beauty.  You might change someone's day.
