I was reminded of my purpose at sandals tonight. How many times can I forget that?
I love to worship. I love to lift up my voice and sing to Him. I love making up the words to sing and I love singing something other than whats expected. I love to dance around and allow the passion behind this voice to let loose. I love to raise my hands and point to Him. I love to lift up His name and feel the words of my heart erupt into harmony and melody. I love that the chords and notes submerge me in His presence.
But even more than that.
I love people.
I love being able to talk to them. I love being able to love them with everything I have. I love helping them through their hard times. I love knowing that even my arm around their shoulders is the only comfort they need. I love that I can be silent and know that Im helping. I love, more than anything in this world, being able to reach out to the broken through my voice, my passion, my purpose. I love leading the lost to Him through my melodies...His melodies. Its a beautiful creation, beautiful thought, gorgeous plan He has for me. And its mine.
There's more to this than just loving Him.
Ive always questioned: why cant i just be in love with Him?
Because, Lauren, I've commanded you to love people.
Why did I wonder why I have such a caring heart that is burdened by those who are hurting, those who have been broken, and those who are lost? Why am I so affected when I heat about a broken heart?
Its because I have His heart. He's given me His heart.
It makes perfect sense.
Break my heart for what breaks Yours.
And He has. So why am I surprised.
I dare you to love. Love His children as much as you love Him. I've never been so sure that this pleases Him and blesses Him more than anything.
There will be more to come about this.
