Showers of Freedom

Today Abba spoke in the shower, such a place of solitude, the only sound is the rush of water, perhaps it is the only place that I would be quiet long enough to hear Him. My heart was cluttered with too many thoughts, too many concerns especially as the day of graduation fast approaches. Suddenly my heart was filled with a song, "It flows like oil, like a fragrance over you..." and I realized, I was not singing it to Abba, no, He was singing it over me. He said Stop, let Me, and it will be as oil being poured over you. I don't know if you can sense the release felt from that, I hope you can, it was beautiful, I love how Abba never tires of telling me the same thing over and over again in different ways. There is so much I want Him to change about me, and He will, I have to stop doing it myself. As much as I want the gaze of my soul to be fixed on Abba constantly there is nothing I can do to get there. I am reminded of Tozer's thoughts on this, "Let us beware of tinkering with our inner life, hoping ourselves to rend the veil. God must do everything for us. Our part is to yield and trust." May the oil continue to flow freely, unhindered by human hands, over all of us.
