Wait and see

I have always considered myself a normal, average, a not too special person. I mean, there's nothing wrong with me, but there's nothing spectacular about me either. I always knew God loved me, just like everyone else. So this didn't seem very "special" to me until recently. I was reading my Bible and came across the verse, "His thoughts for you are more than the sands of the sea." that made me stop and think, "all the sand in the world?..wow, thats alot. I don't think about anyone that much." God loves me so astronomically! He loves me more than we can ever imagine! We can't even fathom love as great as he has toward us. A God who loves me that much wouldn't just make me mediocre. He made me amazing, and he isn't finished with me. He loves me, and he is constantly shaping and molding me into the the person I was created to be. Knowing that God is still working on me gives me hope when I mess things up, or something bad happens. I know that God's not just going to stand by and watch me go through all the pain without teaching me a lesson. He is constatly showing me the right path to take. I am not perfect, and God knows it. It's like the little lamb always wondering off into the wilderness. The shepherd always goes and finds it, but before he brings him back he breaks the little lambs leg, so it won't wonder off. God "breaks my leg" when I wonder off too, with hurts that I come back with. But everytime this happens, it draws me closer to him, becuase I know he is the only one that will keep me safe, and will never leave me. You would think after the first time of wondering off the lamb would get the point, but he doesn't, and neither do I half of the time. The more my legs break though, the more I realize how much I need him. I can't live without him. He's not finished with me, and I am so glad! I love him with all of my heart.

Wait and See
by Brandon Heath

I was born in Tennessee, late July humidity,
Doctors said I was lucky to be alive
I've been troubled since the day that I got here,
Troubled to the day I disappear
That'll be the day that I finally get it right

There is hope, for me yet,
Because God won't forget,
All the plans HE's made for me
I have to wait and see,
HE's not finished with me yet,
HE's not finished with me yet

I never really was that good in school;
Talked too much, broke the rules
My teachers thought I was a hopeless fool, all right.
I don't know how but I made it through,
It's one of those things you gotta do
I always had a knack for telling the truth.

There is hope, for me yet,
Because God won't forget,
All the plans HE's made for me
I have to wait and see,
HE's not finished with me yet,
HE's not finished with me yet

Still wonderin' why I'm here.
Still wrestling with my fear
But oh... HE's up to something,
And the farther out I go,
I've seen enough to know
That I'm not here for nothin'...
He's up to somethin'.

So now's my time to be a man,
Follow my heart as far as I can
No tellin' where I'm ending up tonight
I never slow down (or so it seems),
But singing my heart is one of my dreams
All I gotta do is hold on tight.

There is hope, for me yet,
Because God won't forget,
All the plans HE's made for me
I have to wait and see,
HE's not finished with me yet,
HE's not finished with me yet
HE's not finished with me yet,
HE's not finished with me yet

GOD, teach me to trust You
Teach me to follow You
Teach me about You
GOD, bless us
GOD, lead us
