LORD, THIS MORNING AS I SIT BEFORE YOU...I'M ALL OUT OF WORDS, THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO SAY...IF I SAY I LOVE YOU, I FEEL HELPLESS TO LOVE YOU AS YOU DESERVE...iF I DESIRE TO PRAISE YOU...NOTHING CAN PRAISE YOU ENOUGH...ALL I CAN DO IS SURRENDER THE VESSEL THAT I AM, THAT YOU HAVE CREATED, AND ASK THAT YOU USE ME AS YOU WILL...I lOVE YOU LORD

LORD, I THINK OF WHAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE, WHEN THERE WAS SO LITTLE NOISE TO DISTRACT THE MIND FROM REALLY GETTING QUIET...
NOW...EVEN WHEN IT'S QUIET, THERE'S A NOISE THAT YOU CAN STILL HEAR IN YOUR HEAD...THIS GENERATION IS PLUGGED INTO NOISE...PHONES, TELEVISION, THE INTERNET, EVERY IMAGINABLE INVENTION OF MAN THAT MAKES NOISE CROWDS OUT YOUR STILL SMALL VOICE...AND THEN WHEN ONE TRIES TO PRAY AND FELLOWSHIP WITH YOU, THE VERY THOUGHTS OF OUR HEAD ARE AT WAR WITH OUR HEARTS DESIRE TO BE QUIET BEFORE YOU.

BUT NOW, IN THIS VERY MOMENT, I GIVE YOU MY FULL ATTENTION, AND IN SPITE OF ALL THE NOISE IN MY HEAD, I FIX MY HEART UPON YOU. I ASK YOU TO QUIET THE STORM, AND COMMAND THE WATERS TO BE STILL...IF YOU ARE WANTING ME TO GROW UP AND DO THIS MYSELF, IN YOUR NAME...THEN TEACH ME LORD...TEACH ME TO DWELL IN THE SANCTUARY OF MY HEART, WHERE YOUR KINGDOM IS BEING ESTABLISHED, UNOBSERVED YET MIGHTY IN IT'S POWER...BY YOUR SPIRIT, BY YOUR WORD...LET IT BE SO..

BECAUSE YOU LOVE ME...I LOVE...BECAUSE YOU SPEAK TO ME...I LOVE

I HAVE FELT YOUR HOLY SPIRIT FLY WITHIN MY HEART AND COO THE SOFT MURMURING SOUND OF LOVE...THE SOUND OF GRACE AND PEACE AND REST.
HOW CAN I NOT LOVE YOU, MY LOVE

YOUR LOVE HAS COME TO REACH OUT TO ALL WHO WILL TO LOVE
YOUR LOVE HAS COME TO LIFT THE BROKEN OF BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT...

I HAVE BEEN FORGIVEN OF SO MUCH...AND YOUR LOVE'S MERCY REACHES OUT TO ME EVERY MOMENT OF MY LIFE...FORGIVING, FORGETTING, SUSTAINING, PREPARING, STRENGTHENING, KEEPING...ALL AND MORE IN THE POWER OF YOUR LOVE.

I CAN DO NOTHING BUT LOVE YOU...FOR YOU HAVE DRAWN ME TO YOUR BOSOM AND I FEEL YOUR LOVE PERMEATE MY VERY BEING...

I AM YOURS, AND YOU ARE MINE...MY LOVE... IT IS FOR THIS REASON THAT I MUST LOVE OR DIE.
LORD, WHEN I FEEL LIKE I DON'T LOVE...I DIE...I DIE
HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL FOR DOUBTING YOUR LOVE IN ME, FOR LOOKING TO MYSELF TO GIVE LOVE...
I AM LOST WITHOUT YOUR LOVE...AND WHEN YOU DRAW ME NEAR, GENTLY CALLING MY NAME, I CAN DO NOTHING BUT COME...FOR MY SOUL KNOWS YOUR LOVE...IT HAS DELIVERED ME FROM THE POWER OF SIN AND DEATH...IT COMFORTS MY SOUL AND BRINGS JOY UNSPEAKABLE AND FULL OF GLORY...

THANK YOU FOR THE PAIN OF NOT KNOWING OR UNDERSTANDING...FOR IT HAS PRESSED ME INTO YOUR ARMS AGAIN...

FORGIVE ME, FORGIVE ME ..LOVER OF MY SOUL, MY BELOVED ONE...MY GOD

~Joy~

Lord...when I read verses like these I am completely set back. I think of the those who came out of Egypt and couldn't approach or touch the Mt. of God lest they die...how no one but the high priest could enter the Holy of Hollies...

I come to you myself and confess that I am guilty of not realizing the seriousness of approaching a Holy God...How I'm sure I come with the corruption of my daily living, not coming clean before you in reverence and fear.

How do I say thank you for the shed blood of your Son, which cleanses me of all unrighteousness? How do I say thank you for the work of forgiveness, for your patience, for your undying love. Is it possible for even my praise to come before you untarnished by my wayward thoughts...by my lack of understanding and and outright apathy...? I confess being unenthusiastic and pathetically indifferent at times...half hearted and leaning toward being dangerously lukewarm...

You see all that is going on in my life...I will not use one thing for an excuse to be or feel the way I do...I simply come before you, just as I am and bow my head in shame and surrender. Thou art a consuming fire...consume all that offends you my Lord...this is my earnest prayer...

YOU'RE MY BELOVED

You're my Beloved

you're my Bride

To sing over you is my delight

Come away with me, my Love

Under my mercy

come and wait

until we are standing face to face

I see no stain on you, my child

You're beautiful to me

so beautiful to me

I sing over you my song of peace

Cast all of your care down at my feet

Come and find your Rest in Me

I'll breathe My Life inside of you

I'll bear you up on eagle's wings

and hide you in the shadow of my strength.

I'll take you to my quiet place,

I'll restore your soul

Come rest in me and be made whole.

You're my Beloved

You're my Bride

to sing over you is my delight

Come away with me, my Love
