Enchanted
Being in a place where I am at the mercy of God is so frightfully exciting. I had not ever realized the risk I was taking when I chose to give myself to God and surrender to Him. But how boring life would be with out God! The adventure God has for us is always so exciting.
God is so creative. Take a look around you- His beautiful creativity is inescapable! I was just talking with a good friend about the beauty of twilight, when the sky is silver and it seems like for just a moment there is a pause in time right in between day and night. God created that. God is so exciting, He is so real, He is so alive! The work of his master hands is everywhere!
The sunset is different every single night- He created it for our eyes to see, because He loves us. It points to Him and His power and diversity. He is never boring, He is never silent, He is so abstract but yet His work is so tangible. What a beautifully magnificent God I serve!!! How sweet is His presence as it caresses the air. God is so enchanting. I am captivated by Him. He is always changing, but yet at the same time He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is my beloved and I am His.
Only in these days do I even begin to understand how mysterious God is. I have been diligent to put myself at the mercy of His feet daily. Through that daily submission I have lost nearly everything. But yet, I still have hope and I still grow even more madly in love with my Savior. It is an insatiable inexscapalbe obsession. He is reiterating to me constantly that He is good. I do not doubt this. His love is pulsing through my heart piercing me with each breath I take. He is holding me and carrying me.
I know His plan for me is good. I know He has promised to give me a hope and a future. He promises these things for all of his children from the least to the greatest all the same. I am moved beyond words, they are rubbish. They do not even begin to express the love inside of me for my God.
I am continuing to daily come and bow down at the feet of Jesus. I lay my crown down- my goals, my pride, my ideals, my desires- at His throne. I am at His mercy. I am excited to follow Him. His path is always exciting and will always end in glory. That glory is simply God Himself. More of Him and less of me. This is why I walk. This is why I get up in the morning. That is my reason to take each breath. Although I don't constantly live in that reality, that is what I strive towards.
Some say religion is a crutch. Others say it is useless and a waste of time. For me it is an addiction. I think it is what we are supposed to be addicted to- but instead turn to other imitations that the world has created. We all have a desire to be addicted to something. That desire is from God- to be addicted to Him. To be devout and determined, stubborn even- to do His will and to love Him through all circumstances.
I love you Lord, and I lift my voice to worship You. Oh my soul, rejoice! Take joy my King in what you hear. May it be a sweet, sweet sound in your ear.
