Consume Me From The Inside Out, LORD

A thousand times I've failed
Still your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
Still I'm caught in your grace.

I like this song so much. With its simple lyrics and easy melody. The message is so clear. It is that our dear LORD God is an amazing God. He is so wonderful that He always has the heart to forgive us. It is so amazing that all I could do is give Him praises He truly deserves.

A thousand times I've failed

Still your mercy remains

And should I stumble again

Still I'm caught in your grace.

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades

Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame

my heart and my soul, Lord I give you control

Consume me from the inside out Lord

Let justice and praise become my embrace

To love You from the inside out.

Your will above all else, my purpose remains

The art of losing myself in bringing you praise.

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades

Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame

In my heart, in my soul, Lord I give you control

Consume me from the inside out Lord

Let justice and praise become my embrace

To love You from the inside out.

Everlasting, Your light will shine when all else fades

Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame

And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise

From the inside out Lord, my soul cries out.

The Amazing God

Jeremiah 32:27: "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: Is there any thing too hard for Me?"

Last Friday afternoon, minutes before the sunset, I felt my soul being separated from my mortal body. It was frightful and weird. I felt something heavy that was pushing me down that it was so difficult to breathe. From my bed, I could feel the earth and everything on it. I could feel the breathing of the wind. I could feel people walking on earth. I could feel everyone, especially my family. It was like I had been part of the earth. It hurts to think of your family in that kind of situation. It was so scary. I knew I was about to die. In any moment, if I would let it happen, that would be the end of my stay here on this mortal earth. I struggled really hard. I just couldn't die. After all, I realized I was not yet ready. Now, here I am, still alive.

I had a swift flashback of my life. I know it was not an impressive history. The details were so quick and yet I caught the message. I could never do it alone. I need Him. I need my LORD God. I need the power of the Holy Spirit to take over me. To take me wherever I should go. If forgiveness is such an elusive dream for you, now you need to think twice. I just realized something. I am still here for a purpose. I knew there was something for me to fulfill. I was fighting and refusing the calling that was given to me. I knew I was hurting the Holy Spirit every time I refused.

Everything had become so ruined that I couldn't erase what I already did. It was so scary that sometimes it felt like it was scarier than the death itself. Then I felt so weak that I didn't know what to do or what to think anymore. I knew somewhere in my brain that something needs to be done. But I was so clueless of what would be the right move to take.

Then I prayed. A one intimate and honest prayer that opened my heart and soul to Him. It was not that long prayer like what pastors want us Christians to do but it was beautiful. I knew I was given another chance and I felt so good that the good LORD was still there to comfort me, to forgive me, to love me, and to listen to me. I felt so blessed. With God, nothing is impossible. Praise His holy name.#
