Hidden in Him

But to hearts that have become purified through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, all is changed. These can know God. Moses was hid in the cleft of the rock when the glory of the Lord was revealed to him; and it is when we are hid in Christ that we behold the love of God. {MB 26.2}

Papa Father,
I want to be hidden in You. I want to hide in my little Cheryl shaped pocket, next to your heart again this morning. Please reveal yourself to me and show me how much you love me, but as importantly show me how much you love those around me and those that I think about. Give me Your compassionate heart again today.

HE HIDETH MY SOUL
A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
A wonderful Savior to me,
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
Where river's of pleasure I see.

Chorus
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
That shadows a dry thirsty land;
He hideth my life in the depths of His love,
And covers me there with His hand,
And covers me there with His hand.

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord
He taketh my burden away;
He holdeth me up and I shall not be moved,
He giveth me strength as my day.
Chorus

With numberless blessings each moment He crowns,
And filled with His fullness divine,
I sing in my rapture, O glory to God
For such a Redeemer is mine.
Chorus

When clothed in His brightness, transported I rise
To meet Him in clouds of the sky,
His perfect salvation, His wonderful love,
I'll shout with the millions on high.
Chorus
Fanny Crosby

I love this song!!! It gives me goose bumps all over. You take my burden's away, You hold me up, You give me strength, You hide my life in the depths of Your love and You cover me with Your strong and gentle hand. What more could I ask? You are also my redeemer and sanctifier. Over and over again, no matter what direction I look, it is always about YOU and only YOU. You take care of it all. No worries, because You have it all under control. Sigh. How cool is that.
All I have to do is stick with YOU and You take care of the rest. Actually, that is not entirely accurate. I don’t even have it in me to “stick” with You. You help me to do even that. Sigh. Contentment.
· You take care of me { my part is to actively choose to believe that}
· You take care of everyone else that touches my life {My part is to actively believe that.}
· You have promised to change my heart, from the inside out {My part is to actively believe that You are and will continue to do that.}
· You, over time, change my thoughts to mirror Yours. {My part is to actively believe that You will accomplish what You have promised.}
· You exchange my critical spirit for Your compassionate spirit {My part is to actively believe that.}
· You change the eyes of my heart to see other's as they really are, as You see them. {My part is to actively accept that change in the eyes of my heart.}
· You change the eyes of my heart to see myself, as I really am, as You see me. {not a pretty sight but much loved and valued} {My part is to admit to what You show me, with no excuses or self-justification, and to hand myself back over to You to have You “fix it”.}
