I Came for You
“All it takes is one moment, and just one touch from You…” Every time I sing these words, the weight of their meaning hits me every single time. We serve a God who is so powerful, so all-encompassing, and so gracious, that it takes just a moment for Him to change everything if we allow Him to do so. I Came for You is more than just a song, it’s an invitation.
Throughout my life I have spent many seasons praying for God to bring a breakthrough in various areas, and I often felt like I was banging my fists against a brick wall. I would approach God and ask Him to turn things around, but would ultimately find myself farther from His presence than where I started. It was the strangest occurrence, and I couldn’t figure out why it was happening.
I remember one day in the middle of a very difficult season, I came to the end of my rope and told God I was done talking because nothing was happening. You know those moments where it’s almost like you can hear God laugh at you? Not in an unkind way, but in a way a Father would lovingly laugh at His child when they do something silly. Well, I heard that chuckle. In my frustration I asked Him what on earth He was laughing at and simply felt Him say, “Good. I’ve been waiting to do some talking. Are you ready to listen now, sweetheart?”
I was floored. Right then I realized that in all of my praying and seeking an answer from the Father, I never actually invited Him into the problem in the first place. I put my need for an answer to my problem above my desire to simply be near Papa God. When I finally just invited Him into the conversation, and simply delighted in His presence, I realized the answer was always there. The answer to every problem is His presence.
“Let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16)
Life is full of seasons, of ups and downs. As Christians we aren’t promised a problem-free life. There won’t always be an immediate answer to our current issue. Sometimes the answer comes right away; sometimes the answer is decades down the road. However, there is one thing that we are promised, and that is His presence. My encouragement to you is this: Invite Him in. Make way and make room for Holy Spirit to come into your situation. Sometimes we just need to cut out the noise of our own well-intentioned voices and allow Papa God to minister to our spirits. The answer is in the encounter with Him, not the other way around.
