🌿 Be the Patient
🌿 Be the Patient
When the Lord Changed My Mission
Hello, my friends.
It's me again...
just the old man from the sticks.
A while back, the Lord taught me something I wasn't expecting.
Actually...
He taught me through a dream.
For years I thought my job was to help heal everyone around me.
If someone was hurting, I wanted to help.
If someone was confused, I wanted to explain.
If someone was struggling, I wanted to fix it.
I thought that was what love looked like.
Then the Lord quietly whispered something that changed everything.
"Be the patient."
At first, I didn't understand.
I wanted to be the helper.
The counselor.
The teacher.
The one with answers.
Instead, He invited me to sit in the waiting room.
To become the one receiving His care.
🩺 The Great Physician
Sometimes we become so busy helping others that we forget we need healing ourselves.
We carry burdens we were never asked to carry.
We try to solve problems that belong in the Savior's hands.
We begin acting as though the world depends on us.
It doesn't.
It depends on Him.
There is only one Great Physician.
Only one true Healer.
And thankfully...
I'm not Him.
🌿 Learning to Let Go
That lesson didn't make me care less.
It actually helped me love more.
Because instead of trying to change people...
I began trying to point them toward Jesus Christ.
That's a much lighter burden.
I don't have to convince anyone.
I don't have to rescue anyone.
I simply bear witness of the One who can.
❤️ The Best Thing We Can Offer
People don't always need our answers.
Sometimes they simply need our presence.
Someone to listen.
Someone to pray.
Someone to remind them they are loved.
Then quietly point them to the Savior.
He knows what wounds are hidden.
He knows what questions remain unanswered.
He knows exactly how to heal every heart.
✝️ My New Mission
These days, I still write.
I still make videos.
I still write songs.
But my purpose has changed.
I'm not trying to be the physician anymore.
I'm simply trying to help people find Him.
The One who already knows every name...
Every tear...
Every fear...
Every prayer.
And that's enough.
🎵 Why I Wrote This Song
This song came from one simple lesson the Lord placed upon my heart:
Stop trying to be the healer.
Become the patient.
Lay your burdens at the Savior's feet.
Trust His timing.
Receive His mercy.
And then, as you walk beside others, gently point them to Him.
That may be the greatest act of love we can offer.
