Tune-ology: Magnificent Obsession

I am a hurting soul right now.  I really am in a state of confusion and misunderstanding.  I have prayed and prayed and prayed for something to happen – to feel movement, but it just seems like I am standing still and unable to take any step forward the way I believe I should.

Maybe that is exactly the issue that I face – it is ME who wants it…it is ME who seeks it…it is ME who wants to make the decision.

I have consistently battled this roller coaster over the past 6 months and only in this moment, only at this time am I coming back the realization of truth that I want to preach to others and yet have failed to see directly in front of me.

Looking in the mirror I see a face that I hardly recognize.  Behind me I have left a graveyard of broken ideas…broken dreams.

But the truth remains – only REAL faith can set it straight.  I AM NOT IN CONTROL!  My path is not set based on what I may think is right or wrong.

Proverbs 3:5-6

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.  In ALL your ways acknowledge Him and he will make your paths straight.”

Jeremiah 29:13

“If you seek Me, you will find Me, if you search with all your heart.”

In my time of desperation and fear – I have to let go.  I must hold to the truths that are the foundation of what I want my life to be built upon and I must believe with all my heart, soul, mind and strength that loving Jesus with all my heart, soul, mind and strength will produce a fruit that I cannot yet see or understand.

God is weaving the pattern to create the perfect picture that at this time only He can see.

Today, TUNE-OLOGY represents my heart in this moment, in this place and again my heart hears the words of truth from my heavenly Father through the talent and amazing wisdom of his servant, Steven Curtis Chapman…

God is God and I am not and the only thing I can do to accept and live that is to make Him my Magnificent Obsession!

Magnificent Obsession

Music and Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman

Lord, You know how much
I want to know so much
In the way of answers and explanations
I have cried and prayed
And still I seem to stay
In the middle of life’s complications
All this pursuing leaves me feeling like I’m chasing down the wind
But now it’s brought me back to You
And I can see again

This is everything I want
This is everything I need
I want this to be my one consuming passion
Everything my heart desires
Lord, I want it all to be for You, Jesus
Be my magnificent obsession

So capture my heart again
Take me to depths I’ve never been
Into the riches of Your grace and Your mercy
Return me to the cross
And let me be completely lost
In the wonder of the love
That You’ve shown me
Cut through these chains that tie me down to so many lesser things
Let all my dreams fall to the ground
Until this one remains

You are everything I want
And You are everything I need
Lord, You are all my heart desires
You are everything to me

You are everything I want
You are everything I need
I want You to be my one consuming passion
Everything my heart desires
Lord, I want it all to be for You
I want it all to be for You

You are everything I want
You are everything I need
I want You to be my one consuming passion
Everything my heart desires
Lord, I want it all to be for You
I want it all to be for You, Jesus
Be my magnificent obsession
Be my magnificent obsession
