You Won't Relent

I'm home from camp. This was the most exhausting summer I've ever experienced. It was a wonderful summer but it definitely took it's toll on me. Being in a leadership position was great but with it brings a whole heap of other responsibilities but the position I was in really fit me, at least that's what everyone keeps telling me. I had to rely on God to get me through each and every week. I came to a breaking point where I had nothing else to give but I would read a verse or hear a song and it would be exactly what I needed at that moment.  Two songs that I fell in love with this summer is "Forever Reign" by Hillsong and "You won't Relent" by Jesus Culture.

There were a few times this summer when I had a freak out moment about going half way around the world. The line in Forever Reign that brings me comfort is: You are peace, You are peace, when my fear is crippling. God is my peace throughout everything that went on this summer, throughout everything that has been going on now. God is my peace and will never leave me. God is continuously confirming that this is the next step in my life. God also will not give up til I give all of my self. Until he has all of me he won't relent. It is so easy for us to get lost in the everyday chaos of our life. We forget that God demands all of us every day and he will do whatever to get our attention and call us back to him. When I thought this summer that I could get by on my own strength and not on God, He would break me and bring me back to Him and where my focus should be.

You Won't Relent by Jesus Culture

You won't relent
Until You have it all
My heart is Yours
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/m/misty_edwards/you_wont_relent.html ]
I'll set You as a seal upon my heart
As a seal upon my arm
For there is love that is as strong as death
Jealousy demanding as the grave
And many waters cannot quench this love

Come be the fire inside of me
Come be the flame upon my heart
Come be the fire inside of me
Until You and I are one
