Reflections of the heart

March 30, 2013

For He is good...

Oh Lord, I can't wait to see you face to face.
There is something about just knowing that near to you the fullness of joy can be found.
And I want that so bad. 
That overwhelming fullness.

God this world, you see it, is falling apart. It has been since the day we turned from you.
We left your presence and repeatedly turn away from you. And the world grows so dark.
But Lord I am thankful, because you shine so much brighter.
The more I see this world has no ability to satisfy longings and desires the more I want to cling to you.

Sometimes while praising you I lift my hands remembering your word and the woman who reached in faith to receive healing from you. 
And I believe in those moments your cloak is in sight and reach...
And holding to you I can receive the healing and change my heart desires.
Your so pure, so holy and beyond my understanding.
How you could desire to give me salvation seeing who I am creates a grey area in my mind.
Because I am NOTHING like you in that respect. 
But I thank you for it.

And I thank you for allowing me to be under your rule, authority and protection.
I see your hand in my life so much these days.
You bless me like crazy both materially and spiritually... In any way I have need...
You don't ever leave me. 
And when I believe you aren't planning to come through because "that prayer" is not something you have for me, you give me something better or deliver in the most RANDOM and God glorifying way.

This is all just where my heart and mind are right now Lord.
I don't even have a specific root to why I feel as though I've been both beaten and lifted.
My body feels weak lately, my mind at war with evil and my soul has never... How do I say... "FELT" so alive and active within me. I don't really know how to describe that part biblically, but I know you understand me.

I want so much more of you and my sin is not being willing to work to get more of you. There are places you promise to meet me that I have not been seeking you in. 
I need to get away with you.
Forgive me for putting you second these days.
I want to be with you Lord, to dance with you, worship you in all I do and lift my voice to you in thanks more than anything else I do.

I have a lot of struggles in doing these things the spirit is willing to do.
Please fill me Lord, overflowing with your goodness as I walk this mountain...
I have hope that you are waiting at the top with the power and gifts I need to hike the next part of the trail.
Step after step I want to follow you Jesus... Please have mercy and compassion while I do.

Your so beautiful. I pray this post is a beautiful fragrance lifted high into the heavens.. 

You deserve so, so much more for what you did on the cross... 

May this sacrifice of praise be pleasing in your sight.
