“There is more for you, my child.”
I can’t tell you how many times I have heard this phrase within the last two months. Even before training camp, God was continually saying this and has spent time confirming this for me. There is something that I haven’t received or experienced yet, something new and fresh. I was so excited; who wouldn’t be to go deeper into God’s heart? Bring it on! But it has looked a whole lot different than I expected it to.
Once we got to India, I was so ready to start figuring out whatever “more” means. Instead of moving forward, though, I felt like I had taken two steps backwards. Things from my past that I have dealt with and found freedom from seemed to have popped right back up again and stared me down. I have had to speak truth over myself over and over again because of lies that have no place in my life. Yet, in the midst of it all, I kept hearing God’s quiet voice whisper to me, “There is more for you, my child.”
Ok, so there is more for me God, but what is the “more” when I am dealing with all of this? I have been struggling with what that exactly means and then a couple weeks ago God revealed something. The song “Slumber” by Needtobreathe explains it so well.
Wake on up from your slumber
Baby open up your eyes
All these victims
Stand in a line for
Crumbs that fall from the table
Just enough to get by
All the while your Invitation
Wake on up from you Slumber
Baby open up your eyes
I tend to just pick up the crumbs that have fallen from the table, enough to fulfill my hunger and get me through for a short time. However, when I look at reality, I have an invitation to dine at the table. My seat and the feast are waiting, but I settle for the small crumbs falling onto the floor. This “more” that I know God has for me is overflowing in satisfaction on the table. I’m tired of crawling on the ground, searching for crumbs; I’m ready to pull out the royal chair and dine with the King.
