Mighty to Save

All week long I have been singing the song "Mighty to Save" by Hillsong. Today we sang it in church! I thought how amazing is that! When singing the song, God really spoke to me. Each line meant something for me. If you have never heard it, here are the lyrics.

Everyone needs compassion
A love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
A kindness of a Savior
The hope of nations

Savior
He can move the mountains
My God is Mighty to save
He is Mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender

Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the risen King...Jesus

As I have shared before, I am having difficulty forgiving someone for past transgresions. This person has not asked for my forgiveness, but in order for my heart to feel peace, I need to forgive. I feel God was using this song to show me that this particular person needs and deserves God just as much as I do. What is even crazier is that I had a dream that dealt with this last night. This particular person was basically me and I was a poor, homeless person with no friends. (this person is not homeless so who knows where that came from.) I was standing in front of this person and they were stating over and over to me how they have extended grace to me and yet I still kept messing up. In my dream I was thinking, "you have extended grace to me? Show a bit of humbleness! Come on!" While singing this song, my dream came back to me. Like I said, this person is not asking for my forgiveness but I am almost certain they do not have a relationship with Christ. I have always told people that I wish this person would come to Christ. But when I honestly examined my heart I realized that I was a bit scared of this person coming to Christ. If they do, they will be my equal. Yes, that sounds crazy. My thought was that I was "one up" on them. I like being the "forgiving good Christian." That is not how Christs' love works. So I need to extend grace and be humble in my walk with the Lord. How can I show the love of Christ if I am acting haughty snotty about my relationship with Him?! Please pray that I can peace in this situation. I need to hand it all the Lord and I have no idea why it is so hard to let it go. This verse is my prayer:

Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender

Pray that I can live it!
