It’s close to 4 in the morning and I can’t seem to sleep. So I’m back to the habit of writing posts when I’m sleep deprived. I guess there’s just a bit too much on my mind.
Consecration. The action of making or declaring something sacred. Setting apart. Making holy. To which it hurts. But the fact of the matter is that you have to give up to go up. I must give up my worldly dreams to go up and take charge of what needs to be done. The needs of the greater outweigh the needs of the few.
Setting aside my craft is going to be a huge deal. Musicians dream of having their music performed on a global stage, but my dream is for my music performed on the stage for One. It doesn’t matter if no one else listens, but it matters if God is touched by it.
But I feel that I shouldn’t stop there. Having His presence for me sounds selfish of me. It’s like keeping the presence all for myself. I want to grow to a higher level. One where not only myself can be touched, but others too. To be able to bring others to His presence is my ultimate goal.
Speaking of the presence of God, I feel more in tune with Him than before. Just by saying “God, You know my heart” is enough to bring it down for myself. But I know this isn’t my end. I am not content with bringing it down for myself. How can others be impacted by a serving for one? This really captivates me, and it is my goal to be able to bring His presence down for more than just myself.
And I will call upon Your Name,
And keep my eyes above the waves.
When oceans rise, my soul will rest in Your embrace.
For I am Yours, and You are mine.
