Be My Wind




By Ramone - June 15, 2007

As I was worshiping and singing my son to sleep the night before, I began to sing the old Vineyard song, "Be the Centre." The chorus goes,
Be the fire in my heart
Be the wind in these sails
Be the reason that I live
Jesus, Jesus
As I sang "Be the wind in my sails" in worship that night, God really spoke to me through the word picture. Be the wind in my sails! If I'm in a sailboat, He must be the wind that moves me! I wrote that night,
I try to sail where I want to go, to take this boat (me) where I want You to go. And I row in my own strength, finally wearing myself out. Your Spirit isn't blowing. But then in You I rest, and let Your wind take me where You want me --the boat-- to go! Maybe the sails have been up all along and I was just resisting Your wind.

Other times I think I know where You're going and I try to row in order to help You get me there faster! This usually results in getting "there" a little off target! In Your time, Lord! It works much better that way--perfectly! Carry me along, Lord. Help me toss my oars.
As my friend Cindy and I talked about this a day after I drew this picture, we agreed that we are just much more blessed when it's all Him and not us! The flesh wants some credit & praise, but we're much happier when it's Him and we know how completely not us it is, but it's Him!
Lord, carry me with the gentle wind of Your breath, Your Holy Spirit!
