Faithful lyrics
There's distance in the air and I cannot make it leave i wave my arms' round about me and blow with all my might I cannot sense you close, though I know you're always here But the comfort of you near is what i long for
When I can't feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same When I can't hear you, I know you still hear everyword I pray And i want you more than i want to live another day And as I wait for you maybe I'm made more faithful
All the folly of the past, though I know it is undone i still feel the guilty one, still trying to make it right So i whisper soft your name, let it roll around my tounge, knowing you're the only one who knows me You know me
Show me how I should live this Show me where I should walk I count this world as loss to me You are all I want You are all I want
Let it be Lord, Amen.

Just a word...
One of the Things I'm beginning to learn.....
The definition of just: by a narrow margin; barely: only or merely
Over all the word just isn't all that big of a deal, but more and more, I'm realizing that it is used all the time when we pray. "God would you just....thank you for just.....' I know that it's a place-filler, the intent certainly isn't to limit God.... but are we?
I don't want to throw that word in anymore. I don't want to verbally put a limit on what I ask God to do, to limit the work that He will do. 'But I didn't mean it that way', you say, then why didn't you think about what you were saying? Why didn't I listen to what I was praying about. I'm trying to be intentional about other conversations that I have with people, why wouldn't I be with the Lord, the one that I want to communicate with the most? Why would I pray 'Lord would you merely heal her, merely work in her life, only change her understanding...' Why would I not be careful and verbally say what I mean and not be lazy about it anymore?
Do I have the courage to really mean it though? To take it out? Instead of asking God to 'just help her understand her situation, just give her peace, just work in her life.....' why don't I say 'work in her heart'? Lord let me have the courage to really say, 'Lord work in her life, change her spirit to desire and long after you'. The truth is, the power behind that statement without 'just' is HUGE! Think about what we're saying!
Instead of verbally and in our hearts putting a limit on our expectations of God, we say work, and mean it, without a 'just' qualifier or limit. Fully expectant that the Lord of Hosts will dynamically move and change and grow in that person that we're praying for, including ourselves. Do I have the courage to go there with my Lord and King?
Our God is a great big God, our everything will never be enough compared to Him, and frankly I'm abundantly happy about that. Hear me out, I will continue to strive to live and give 'My Utmost for His Highest', but how wonderfully awe-inspiring that HE is all that much, that nothing I can ever do or say will ever be enough. The Lord can certainly move and direct my heart, He hears my heart, inspite of what my stupid mouth says, but can I please try and focus, to try and be intentional in my conversations with my greatest friend? He certainly deserves our praise no matter what, but how much more to worship a God who will never be contained, whose power has no limit, a God who I will never full comprehend....let the journey.... let the adventure begin
