We should never underestimate the power of music to move, convict and shape our hearts.  I recently received this message, that once again, humbled me to the power of music - especially in combination with God's message.

"I remember as a teenager wearing out my Acappella tapes. 10 years later I find myself in South Korea separated from my family and friends. I have not entered the house of God in months. I have not had a conversation about God in years. Tonight, sitting in front of my computer for some reason I searched for Acappella. The first song that displayed was "Lead me to rest". After the third time of listening to it, I started thinking about my life and the lack of peace I have. I so long to have that rest and peace again. I want it more than anything in this world. I had forgotten what it was like to live in the circle of His blessing. I don't know how many years ago you sat down and wrote the words to that song but tonight, I firmly believe that God had me in mind when he gave the words. I have 8 months left before returning to the states. I want to return a different man, living in HIS rest. Thank you! I have only 3 life changing moments. Salvation, my wedding day, and tonight. Thank you again and God bless."

Wow!  How do you respond to a message like this?

"I so long to have that rest and peace again. I want it more than anything in this world."

Shouldn't all of us long to live in God's circle with this much conviction?

I have only 3 life changing moments. Salvation, my wedding day, and tonight.

Again, the power of music should never be under-estimated.

I don't know how many years ago you sat down and wrote the words to that song but tonight, I firmly believe that God had me in mind when he gave the words.

Brother, if this song affected you that strongly, then it may been written just for you!  Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and may God bless you on your journey back to His rest!
