My sisters and my brothers, today’s podcast takes me back in time to where life for me, and for those in and surrounding my life, would no longer be living in the familiar way that was known, because now, changes, growth, losses, and stepping into an unfamiliar new journey, was near and becoming real for me. The year of 1983 was to be, a year of preparation of the uncertainties of what was to be, my life. I have little by little, given myself to the Lord. A dying to self so that I may become all that I was intended to be, so that Jesus can truly be alive in me.
I wanted to know the Will of Jesus, who was calling me into His ministry.
I wanted our Lord to teach me His ways, to follow Him. As much as my Yes to Jesus was certain, and as much as I was filled with the Joy of God Himself, there was also sadness deeply absorbing my heart and my mind. Yet, I could not oscillate myself from this deep Trust I have in the Lord.
You see, God has done great things for me in my life, His Blessings overfilled my being, I could not take back my Yes to God, nor, would I ever want to. My greatest desire was then and is now, for His Will to be done in me, in my life. His will, not mine, my own will is so limited, why would I ever consider mine? Right?
This song, ‘To Follow You’, is about my prayer to God from that time in 1983.
This song is one of my deepest prayers to Jesus.
