preoccupy.
fill the mind completely.
so much lies around
so much lives within
over which to be obsessed.
so easy to fall into
preoccupation with
all that is wrong.
all that is broken.
all that is fear filled.
all that is out of one's
control anyway.
without even trying,
the mind can be filled
completely with worry
and doubt
and fear.
and I am guilty.
what if?
what if when
worry and doubt and fear
begin to consume,
what if instead I would
choose to be obsessed
with my Abba?
with who He is?
with His nature?
what. would. happen?
any thoughts of worry
doubt
fear
would not
stand a chance,
"because the Spirit
who lives in you is greater
than the spirit who lives in
the world." I John 4:4
I want to see His smile
and feel His delight
when He looks at me.
I want to spend time
simply sitting in
His
presence.
worshiping at His throne.
conversing with Him.
coming to know Him in
deeper
intimacy,
for after all,
He is my heavenly Papa.
I want to be obsessed
with Him,
for out of that
beautiful obsession
the essence
the fragrance
of His love and
compassion and
tenderness and
forgiveness and
mercy and grace
upon grace
will flow.
