By His Wounds We Are Healed

"All the Heavens"

Third Day

As Your children gather in peace

All the angels sing in Heaven

In Your temple all that I seek

Is to glimpse Your holy presence

All the heavens cannot hold You, Lord



How much less to dwell in me?

I can only make my one desire

Holding on to Thee

All the angels exalt You on high

What a kingdom to depart!

But You left Your throne in the sky

Just to live inside my heart

I will always make my one desire

Holding on to Thee

This song just helped me to understand what my next steps need to be during the last few weeks I have left here in Mexico. I desire so many things. I feel like I am just one big bag of mixed desires! (this bag is filled with... I want to go home. I want to stay. I want to be sad. I want to be better. I want to have energy. I want to have the time to work more on my Spanish. I want to be a better house guest to my host family. I want to help all my friends on the trip who are struggling with home sickness, or other problems. I want to be stronger. I want to hug my family. I want to rest in my own house. I want to know what is exactly wrong with me. I want all these things.... I'm telling you a mixed bag of emotions.) Anyway, this song came up on my itunes, and something about it was just really was soothing to me. I played it over and over.

Upon listening to the words more and more it just hit me . He can be my ONLY desire.

And what do you do when something is your ONLY desire, you spend time with what you desire.

Sure maybe my Dad was right, in saying that I am just worrying too much. And now it is time to just trust the Lord. Later that night, I was reading and praying, about "healing."
People were healed by just touching the Lord. How do I do that!? I wanted to be healed!!!
Then, I thought, How do we touch Jesus, now? Then I realized, through spending time with Him.... my ONLY desire. I can't touch him for His healing power, until I spend time with him and pray fervently.

By his wounds we are healed: mind, body and soul.

My Jesus I love Thee

I know Thou art mine
