This is Love Callin'

Still feeling a little discombobulated this week. Not getting the best of sleep, a lull in the number of texts from friends and family, and my worship time has felt flat.  But God is carrying me.  :)

When I drive to work, I pray, and I have a list of people I pray for.  This is my routine.  But this morning I was feeling spiritually congested.  Between the dog thing, lack of sleep, and multiple other little nagging  things, just not feeling very close to God.

Today, however, I just took a break from my prayer list and just told God how I was feeling and asked the Holy Spirit to speak for me what I could not.  Here is one of my favorite verses on this.

• Romans 8:26-27:  "In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God." NIV   

Then I just left it in God's hands to help me out today.

You know some days, you are feeling good, and as a Christian you are just flowing with God! Things are happening or you are getting new insight.  Then you have days where you feel like worship in the morning is like chewing a dry newspaper and you just feel disconnected.  You know God is there but the world seems to be crashing in, and you can't seem to hear above the noise.

I get worried on days like these that I'm not living out my faith because of how I'm feeling, but God still moves even on our bad days.  Sometimes, God reminds us that even on these days He is still working, and we just need to keep our faces to Him.  Even if we don't feel like things are working.  I wonder if some times He is like "Relax, kid, you are stressing out way too much, I got this!" There is another verse that is one of my favorites on this. (I know, I'm a little of a verse junkie) :)

• Philippians 1:6 : " being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." NIV

Isn't that AWESOME!  So even on the day's I feel like crap and do not sense one once of spiritual energy in me, God says "Don't sweat it Sister! I promise I will continue this good work I've begun in you, I got your back!"

Coming back from my run tonight, that I really did not feel like doing today, kind of like my worship this morning,  some words from the song I was listening to jumped out at me.  Its a Toby Mac song: Get Back Up

We lose our way,
We get back up again
Never too late to get back up again,
One day, you gonna shine again,
You may be knocked down but not out forever,
Lose our way, we get back up again,
So get up, get up
You gonna shine again
It's never too late, to get back up again
You may be knocked down, but not out forever,
May be knocked down, but not out forever!

This is love callin', love callin', out to the broken,
This is love callin'.
This is love callin', love callin', out to the broken
This is love callin'.
This is love callin', love callin',
I am so broken
This is love callin' love callin

God's got our backs :)   He see us when we feel like we falter and struggle to get back up again.  We are His Kids and we have the power in Him to get back up again, we maybe knocked down but not out forever!

The line that really caught me tonight, was "This is love callin' out to the broken"  At that moment, I felt so much comfort like God right then calling out to me.  Ring Ring.... Hello.... This is love callin' to your broken heart.... It is going to be fine, I've got ya!  

Do you see why I love my God?  I hope so.  He feels the same about you.  Do you hear Him...... Love's is calling and Yes it IS for You!
