Richness of Your Love

My heart aches, yearns, longs for you.

I’m desperate and lost without you.

I desire to know that you are near.

I am quenched without your Presence

I thirst to hear your voice and I am hungry for your words that fill my very being

What can I do but melt in your arms when you speak of the love that overwhelms my soul.

There are so many sides and facets to your Love

It is real, genuine, sweet, secure, comforting, constant, romantic, delightful, intense, fierce, deep, limitless, overwhelming, unpredictable, unconditional, unfathomable

You showed love in the greatest way

 The way no one else could or would

You shed your blood for me

Wore a crown of thorns, and endured pain not only physically but emotionally

You took on my sin, my wrong, my mistakes and failures

You went to hell for me

Hung on a cross and died for me

How precious is your love and yet we still doubt it

 But what You did for me, there is no explanation about it

Except the richness of Your Love which is in Your holy presence

My greatest desire...

Lord I want to put you first in all that I do

Let nothing of this world capture my attention

May my eyes be that of a dove

Completely focused upon your face

Strip away the distractions of my fleshly desires

Take away every selfish thought that grips hold of my mind

I want to be consumed in the fullness of your sweet romance

Let the love I yearn for be found eternally

For nothing can satisfy the desperate longing of my heart but you, O God, my Lover, My Prince

The Haze

Deepest dreams crushed by dead words

In the dim now my vision blurred

Reaching, yearning, wanting more but drowned out by the monotone reality of a score

Yeah, I may look crazy, I may be different

But I trust and depend on the one who has no limits

Open your eyes, how can’t you see

There is so much more I am to be

Last semester was tough for me...I felt as if I were in a haze trying to figure out my life and the direction God has for me...the problem is that I've been holding on too tightly to the blessings, experiences and opportunities God has given me. I've realized that we are to have open hands, minds, and hearts not clinging to what has been given to us for right now because then we miss the fullness of what the Lord wants to do through us and bless us with in the future. Praise God for bringing me up out of my own misery and sin, setting me on the mountaintop and giving me His eyes and perspective!

I dissapeared in His Presence...

I disappeared in His presence

His love came and washed over me

Like a raging wave of a stormy sea

It engulfed my pride by knocking me down

Making me realize who I am meant to be

For I am not the problem and I am not the answer

The only hope I hold is in you, alone, no other
