Hearts of Servants

Jesus always meets you RIGHT where we are
Isn't that such a blessing?! 
He is leading me where He wants me to go
And guess what, he wants me to willingly follow  
With glad anticipation of what is around the corner 

We are coming full circle here
For those of you that have been following me from the beginning 
I am back to where the Lord is screaming SURRENDER 

Why is that so dagblassted difficult? 
I know Jesus would not give me anything I cannot handle
I know that He has promised to be with me EVERY step of the way

At this phase of life, I spend a LOT of time in the car
To and from Columbia 3 times a week 
It is sometimes in that still quiet driving along that the Lord really speaks to my heart

Last night was one of those nights 
I was listening to the song "Heart of Servants" by Shane and Shane 
The chorus says "Give us a picture of your face, show us the measure of your grace, reveal the love of the Father, put within us tenderness, release from us all selfishness, we'll consider them better, we're yours, gives us hearts of servants" 

A few words/phrases really got to me, selfishness, better, hearts of servants...
I am in a unique situation in the bilingual immersion school
Why am I NOT surrendering?
Why AM I being so selfish-thinking me me me?
Why do I NOT have the heart of a servant that the Lord requires? 

Simple-I am a sinner in need of a sweet savior! 
Thank goodness for that GIANT umbrella of grace
For His overwhelming mercy 

I am so thankful the Lord meets me EXACTLY where I am 
even driving down 26 listening to some tunes :) 
I am praying and desire to have a willing servants heart of surrender
