Yes

Sometimes a song that I haven’t thought of in forever will pop into my head.  Am I the only person that happens to?  I was traveling back home, and Shekinah Glory Ministry’s song, “Yes,” began to play in a loop in my mind.  If you’ve never heard it, go to YouTube and play it.

Spoiler alert:  The choir’s only line is “yes.”  I take that back.  At times, they do echo the soloist.  The soloist does ad lib throughout the song, but she spends a lot of time saying “yes” as well.  Some of her lines were really permeating to me.  For instance, “Will your heart and soul say yes?  Will your spirit still say yes?  If I told you what I really need from thee, would your heart and soul say yes?”

I’ve talked to you often about not liking to hear “no,” but I haven’t told you how freeing my “yes” has been.  I’m grateful for God’s grace.  Every time I say “yes,” it’s been a game changer for me.  Really, a life changer.  I spend so much time talking about my struggle that I downplay the relief I get when I put my entire life in his hands.

I think I focus on my struggles because life is challenging for me, and I don’t really hear other Christians tell my struggle in a public platform.  I mean, preachers discuss struggles, but we tend to put them on a pedestal.  They aren’t real people to us.  We think their salvation sets them apart or something.  But guess what?  The same salvation that sets them apart sets us apart.  I digress.  Back to my “yes.”

I’m in a season of absolute “yes.”  And that means that I’m experiencing peace I haven’t encountered before.  Ya’ll know it’s HARD for me to let go of my will and my way.  Even when it’s killing me.  So, to be in place where I can tell God “yes” with joy has been liberating.  My prayer for everyone that reads this today is that your heart and soul will say “yes” to God. #wepreach
