I am in a season of searching
I am in a season of wanting more
more of what?
for what am I searching?
some days I am not exactly sure
He leads me to this verse...
"O God you are my God
earnestly I seek you
my soul thirsts for you
my body longs for you
in a dry and weary land
where there is no water"
Psalm 63:1
I want more of God
I want to know His thoughts
I want to see His beauty
I want to hear His whisper
I want to worship in
adoration simple
on my face in the radiance of
His presence
adoration simple
on my face in the radiance of
His presence
I want to
love with His love
touch with His touch
see with His eyes
hear with His ears
I want to know what this looks like
in my everyday life
every day
I want to know what this looks like
in the life of His church
my heart searches and questions
we have made church complicated
we have made worship complicated
we are often
willing to hurt the messenger
because we don't like the
message
we claim to be ours
what really is His
we want our way
when only His way is perfect
we make the details of church
more important than the One who died
so the church can live
we argue
we gossip
we back stab
we make the details of church
more important than the One who died
so the church can live
we argue
we gossip
we back stab
the list goes on and on
and I am guilty
my heart searches and questions
not always sure for what I search
but this much I know...
as imperfectly as I am imperfect
not always sure for what I search
but this much I know...
as imperfectly as I am imperfect
I want to seek Him
to know Him
to be more like Him
wherever I am
to live in anticipation
to live in the light of His grace
to live counting gifts from His hand
cherishing all that is precious
each sunrise
each sunset
each breath
each heartbeat
all for Him
AMEN. Beautifully shared my dear sister in Christ
