Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

"It's all about You, Jesus

And all this is for You

For Your glory and Your fame

It's not about me

As if You should do things my way

You alone are God and I surrender

To Your ways

Jesus, lover of my soul

All consuming fire is in Your gaze

Jesus, I want You to know

I will follow You all my days

For no one else in history is like You

And history itself belongs to You

Alpha and Omega, You have loved me

And I will spend eternity with You"

At community meeting we sang this song and it struck a note (no pun intended) in me. I have had a lot on my mind with big changes going on in my life. Friends leaving and new people coming to the ship. More responsibilities in the operating room. I need to be reminded why I am here. It really is for Jesus. For His fame and it is not about me.  My “way” does not matter and I’m praying what God has next for me in life. I love what I am doing here and I cannot see myself anywhere else. I know God has given me this desire to use my nursing skills for something far greater than making an income. I have learned more in the 5 months I've been here than 3 years out of school. The teamwork in the OR, the “thank yous” from the doctors, the smiles and hugs from our patients, and seeing healing prayers answered- outweigh anything on this earth.
