God i look to You, i won’t be overwhelmed
give me vision, to see things like You do
God i look to You, Youre where my help comes from
give me wisdom, You know just what to do
simple words made into such a powerful song. so many thoughts go through my head, but these lyrics capture it all through just couple words.
people these days are wack. life used to be simple before people came up with all these complex, intricate works whether it’s technology, music, fashion, etc. it’s all about “who can stand out the most” they want complexity, they want unique. i find comfort in that my God is a simple God, who just want me for me. a Father who doesn’t have any expectations from me, a friend who doesnt judge me, and a humble King who serves the weak and seeks only for my heart to just abide in His presence, forever.
not studying for a test? eating late at night? GUILTY. i feel bad for doing those things, so i make up for them the next day.
not spending time with the one i love? HUNGER. not seeing someone i love for a long period of time, i start to seek them and is desperate for some quality time.
today, i don’t know why but i was reminded that my relationship with God is the same way. not spending my time reading, praying, worshiping, i dont feel guilty but i feel empty. i become hungry for those things. i want to be filled with more of His presence. i want more intimacy with Him. i begin to yearn for Him. im desperate to spend just 5 minutes, to dwell in His presence and take in all that He has for me. reading the bible and doing my everyday routine becomes a religion. and religious acts get old. they get tiring and boring, they eventually will end because they never satisfy. but understanding that my God is a living God, He never gets dull. i’m learning new things more and more each day as i get deeper into the Word. He is the greatest teacher and comforter. Thank You Lord.
:the difference between a relationship and religion:
God of my hope, God of my need
God of my pain that no one else will ever see
God of my healing, God of my strength
God who has always and will forever reign
God of my everything
you have to experience to know and understand what’s best for you. what’s done is done. the past is the past. move on and never make the same mistake twice.
because my God is so merciful and faithful! He gave me peace as i simply called upon His name. then He said to just seek Him in worship and prayer, and everything will just floww and fall into place.
Thank You Lord. Thank You for just being who You are.
i know i’m put on this earth for a reason. the worlds taking over, i can feel it. my flesh is winning and its making me drift farther from Him. i can feel Him being distant. draw me close to You Lord, once again.
Cast me not away from Thy presence, oh Lord
And take not Thy holy spirit from me
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation
And renew a right spirit within me
