Restless

~  Listen while you read, please!  ~

I am the sea on a moonless night calling falling, slipping tides
I am the leaky, dripping pipes; the endless, aching drops of lights
I am the raindrop falling down always longing for the deeper ground
I am the broken, breaking seas even my blood finds ways to bleed
Even the rivers ways to run, even the rain to reach the sun
Even my thirsty streams, even in my dreams

I am restless…I am restless…I am restless
I’m looking for You
I am restless…I run like the ocean to find Your shore
I’m looking for You

I am the thorn stuck in your side, I am the one that you left behind
I am the dried up doubting eyes looking for the well that won’t run dry
Running hard for the other side, the world that I’ve always been denied
Running hard for the infinite with the tears of saints and hypocrites
Oh, blood of black and white and grey; oh, death in life and night in day
One by one by one, we let our rivers run

I can hear You breathing
I can feel You leading
More than just a feeling, more than just a feeling
I can feel You reaching
Pushing through the ceiling
‘Til the final healing
I’m looking for You

Until the sea of glass we meet, at last completed and complete
Where tide and tear and pain subside and laughter drinks them dry

I’ll be waiting
Anticipating
All that I aim for
What I was made for
With every heartbeat
All of my blood bleeds
Running inside me
I’m looking for You, looking for You, looking for You….

Restless … that’s how I felt at the age of 22 in my deepest, darkest pit of despair with no hope.  You want to know why?  Because nothing, absolutely nothing, can satisfy the human heart except the One who made it.  Jesus is the ONLY One that can fill those empty places.

Just as Proverbs 13:12 tells us:
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled is a tree of life.

Those who have hope in Him have found a Tree of Life…Jesus is my Hope!

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing,
so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Romans 15:13 ESV

God was searching for me in that dark place and I was searching for Him.  The only One who could satisfy what I was longing for and give me a love unlike anything I had ever known!

A longing fulfilled is sweet to the soul
Proverbs 13:19 NIV

* ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ *

Let me pray for you:
Heavenly Father, I pray for each and every lady reading this who is out there searching…longing for something.  I pray that they would come to the revelation knowledge that the only thing that can satisfy what they are longing for is You. Father, I thank You that You are always longing for us and that You love us so much that You never give up on us even in the darkest of places.  Father, thank You for Your unconditional, redeeming love.  In Jesus’ name, Amen!!!

Your Love Is A Song

~  Listen while you read, please!  ~

I hear you breathing in, another day begins
The stars are falling out, my dreams are fading now, fading out

I’ve been keeping my eyes wide open I’ve been keeping my eyes wide open
Your love is a symphony all around me…running through me
Your love is a melody underneath me, running to me
Oh, Your love is a song

The dawn is fire bright against the city lights
The clouds are glowing now; the moon is blacking out, is blacking out
So I’ve been keeping my mind wide open; I’ve been keeping my mind wide open

Your love is a symphony all around me…running through me
Your love is a melody underneath me, running to me
Oh, Your love is a song

Oh, Your love is a song, Your love is a song
Oh, Your love is a song, Your love is strong

With my eyes wide open… I’ve got my eyes wide open
I’ve been keeping my hopes unbroken

Your love is a symphony all around me…running through me
Your love is a melody underneath me, running to me
Your love is a song, Your love is my remedy, Oh, Your love is a song


“Your Love Is A Song”

The love of the Father…a love like nothing I have ever known. Unconditional. Life changing.  A love that changed my life Forever.  A love that saved me from a deep pit of despair and redeemed me and gave me a new future.  A love that is not based on conditions…but that is unconditional.

Do you know this kind of love?  It is the kind of love that is only found in God.

Let me share a few of my favorite Scriptures on God’s love that have been life changing.

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers,
nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,
nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 8:37-39 ESV

Your steadfast love, O Lord, extends to the heavens, your faithfulness to the clouds.
Psalm 36:5 ESV

In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son
to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4:10 ESV

God loves us so much ladies…once we grasp and believe this Truth, we will be powerful women for the Kingdom!

When you are tempted to believe the lies of anything
other than the Truth, remember this:

Heavenly Father,  I pray for each woman reading this blog today that she would choose to walk in the full Truth of who she is in You and that she would reject any lies the enemy may whisper and instead replace them with the Truth of Your great love for each and every one of us, and how very precious we are to You.  In Jesus’ name, AMEN!!!
