You're the God of this city. You're the King of these people.
You're the Lord of this nation, you are.
You're the Light in this darkness. You're the hope to the hopeless.
You're the peace to the restless, you are.
There is no one like our God. There is no one like our God.
For GREATER things have yet to come
And GREATER things are still to be in this city.
For GREATER things have yet to come
And GREATER things are still to be done here.
Chris Tomlin, God of This City
This song has brought a ray of hope into my life over the last week. The Lord has reminded me that His work is NEVER finished. I am still grieving over the people I love and had to leave in India and I still want to go back more than anything else. But God has reminded me of this: His work is not finished. He still has something GREATER that He wants to do. God's work is never finished. He has a plan and purpose for everything we do in our lives. If we are surrendered to Him, then He will use us for his GREATER works in every circumstance of our lives. So no matter how much of my heart is still in India, I have found a little peace in God's revelation (again...haha) that He wants to use me here too. His power is just as great here in "We have it all, America" as it is in the poorest slums, leper colonies, and orphanages of India. He has shown me that by feeling so hopeless here I have been limiting His power. I can still grieve and miss my kids. I can still ache and long for the people of India that have stolen my heart (He is the one, after all, who gave me the deep love for them in the first place), but I have to surrender to God and His purpose for me in the here and now. I know that if I can do this, GREAT things will happen. It is, after all, the small things done with "reckless" love that God turns into His GREAT works.
