Tubal Reversal Surgery Day 13

I found a song when I was making my music play list and it has helped me keep my focus on the Lord and not on myself. It is hard to see at times that God can make something work that is broken.

I have broken wings.
But God carries me where He wants me to go.

I worry because I know I can't do it.
But God has taught me how to rest in Him. It is better to trust in Him and submit to Him and let Him carry me.

I have not been successful in anything I have tried to accomplish. I am inadequate. I have not arrived at the heights I have tried to reach.
But God will lift me up and accomplish His will in my life. And God has made me more meek by my broken wings.

I see no ability or skills in me.
But I believe in God's will for me in spite of what I see in me. I have faith in Him not in my ability and I am at peace even though I will never reach the heights I want to get to because it is not about my ability to accomplish great things or even simple things, but it is about faithfully following my Savior in obedience and love.

I try, I work, I spend my resources for freedom.
But it is what God has done and is doing that sets me free. This humbles me before my Mighty God and drives me to place my faith and trust in Him as He lifts me up and makes me free.

I will get where He wants me to go not because of me but because of Him.


James 4
Humble yourself in the presence of the Lord and He will exalt you.

Here are the lyrics to the song. It is by Downhere and it's about the 35th song down from the top in my play list if you want to listen to it.

Not About Wings

Wake dove, stretch your feathers,
Worry not love, how far you could fall.
Fly now, darling find how;
A broken wing can feel the best to soar on.

It's not the perch you've climbed to reach,
But the broken wing that's made you meek;
that's when He lifts you high.

Chorus
Believing is not about seeing,
Faith is not about reaching,
and on this journey I keep learning,
Flying is not about wings.

Sparrow trapped by a window,
every resource spent for just one goal.

It's not by work you find your escape,
but in your defeat when you seek his face;
that's when He lifts you high.
