Last week at Celebration we studied the church at Philadelphia and how God works in our weakness. Sometimes there are songs that express an idea better than I ever could in a 30 minute message. I thought of this song many times in my preparation and wanted to share it.
Its a song that used to baffle me. How do I get to the point of grace? How do I get to the place where I stop striving and finally let God do his work in me? How do I stop messing it up all the time? Today I’m learning the point of grace is not a destination, but a beginning that starts with a longing to get there. All I could do was start with expressing that desire to God having no earthly clue how to arrive. God did the rest.
Ten years later, this song still brings tears because it represents so much healing, so much journey and the power of God at work in me. All I could do was long for that place. All I could do was acknowledge my weakness.
