You Got To Let Me Love You

Do you ever have those 2Am  mornings  and you feel so restless?  You toss and turn just begging  the Lord to let you sleep but sometimes  those mornings  are so rewarding. As I laid awake restless the Lord brought me to a song by Misty Edwards called,"You Got To Let Me Love You". Talk about conviction !
I would  have never picture myself as Peter  where  he struggles to let Jesus  wash his feet but I listen to the song and thought  about the passage (John 13)
I realized  how much I was Peter.
Peter's pride really  creeped out vs 8 where he simply  tells Jesus he will never wash his feet.  He had a hard time receiving and Jesus had to remind him vs 8 that it was the only way he could  have part with Him.
He has to be willing  to receive love. How many of us can connect? People may argue it takes humility to serve and it does but it also takes humility to be served. It can especially  feel this way when you have to seek help .
It really takes letting go of pride when you have things to accomplish  but you need   a friend  to help you do it. Letting  go of an independent  spirit  is hard but it can be seen as a gift reminding you  need community. So with this I end with the song:
