What is God saying to you? Well, lately God has spoken to me through this song. "Rend" by Jimmy Needham has captured a hold of my heart. This is that song where it feels like it was written just for me right now.
See, I'm fortunate enough now to be in a place where so much of me has been broken down. Everything I use to rely on and think was me has been stripped away. It's been a hard process but nothing has felt more right. Imagine God singing these lyrics to any of you that have been broken:
"You've been tarnished, you've been stained,
All the varnish you've used to cover up with is peeling away,
Yet even now, return to Me with nothing less than your wounded, broken heart
And cling to Me, Your gracious King
Be shattered glass of empty jars and rend
Rend, rend, rend, rend your heart
You've been tarnished and you've been stained
And all the varnish you've used to cover up with is peeling away
Yet even now, return to Me with nothing less than your wounded, broken heart
And cling to Me, Your gracious King
Be shattered glass of empty jars and rend
Rend, rend, rend, rend your heart
I don't need a grand display
Show me that your heart has changed
I don't need a show
Only just to know your own heart breaks
Yet even now, return to Me with nothing less than your wounded, broken heart
And cling to Me, Your gracious King
Be shattered glass of empty jars and rend
Rend, rend, rend, rend your heart"
Do you need to rend your heart? Is there a "varnish" that exists in your life?
