Run

Feelings rush through my thoughts.
Stresses are like a never ending nagging in my mind.
My mind wanders but then is forced back to reality.
I run to try and clear my mind.
I run my legs and body sore.
My mind is cleared just to be clustered again.
I embrace what my father has set before me but it is a bitter sweet dose.
I continue to run my legs numb from the cold and my chest burning from the cold air.
I ask why and don't understand.
I am tired.
I am worn.
Father wrap me in your arms for I need your comfort.
I need to know that you love your daughter.
My beautiful king i come to your feet.
Instill in me the faith that i lack.
Remind me of your goodness and never fail to pull me back.

Comfort

Our King desires us to take comfort in him. To curl up in his lab and take refuge under his wing. Taking comfort in my king is exactly what I need but so many times I run to other things. Things or people that are not in them selves bad but when replacing the king only lead to unfulfillable and destruction. We as people desire something tangible and immediate. We run to things that resemble him but are not him himself. We run toward the reflection I mentioned in the last blog. We are continually allowing our self to receive the next best when the best in sitting right in front of us.

So curl up with your bible, an awesome worship mix, a journal and pen to write down what he speaks. Have faith for he WILL speak. Pray for him to open your ears and eyes and expect that the king has so much for those who pursue him and desire him and his will.

Take action the king is among us.


PS. If you donr have an awesome worship mix i will make you one:)

Mirror

They say we are to reflect the image of God. People see the Lord in people and then begin to cling and follow this fragment they can see. They see something touchable and someone they can talk to and get an answer back immediately. It works right? They have good advice and these men and woman of God are wonderful people, but when have you ever found that a reflection was as good as what it was reflecting. The mirror may have defects or places in which it is broken. It may have spots left from a messy situation. Though we can mirror our King we never reflect him to the fullest. A mirror can reflect light but its never in the same way as the source. A mirror is simply a mirror and we are simply human. So stop looking to that person you admire. Do not dismiss them completely for God does reveal himself through his children, but remember the source and run for it as if you heart could care for nothing else.

Much love,
