One of the most important life lessons – there is only one Saviour. No matter how justified or righteous we may feel, getting in the way of God is costly. Most often it happens because we think He is too slow. If we can just push the envelope, then that person will have the help they need. But will that help last?
God’s plan and His timing gets to the bottom of the barrel and illuminates the real problems that are preventing people from thriving. We have to get out of the way and learn to pray for the Holy Spirit to do the ‘deep’ work.. Then the mess is truly dealt with, and a firm foundation can be built for future generations.
“Run to the Rescue”
Sometimes you ask for just what you get
and wonder why life is so hard?
Layers of bandages fester regrets,
but lets you pretend who you are.
So you run to the rescue,
and help someone else make it right.
So keep telling yourself you’re the Saviour.
Keep pulling the ocean uphill.
Keep talking to God like he’s needing your favours,
and blaming Him when your plan fails.
I’ll love you in-spite of your blindness,
‘Cause he loves me in-spite of mine,
But what will it take to convince your Highness
playing God’s wasting your time.
Sometimes we’re standing in the truth zone,
and choose to get lost anyway.
Peeling our history back to the bone
is far too depressing to face.
So we run to the rescue
to help someone else find the light.
