” all i need is you, Lord”
how many times have you sang this song and really thought about what it was that you were singing. I was just sitting in the Lords presence, and this song played and i questioned what it really meant for the Lord to be all i need. I am so aware of the fact that my heart longs for this to be the anthem it sings. But i fail miserably at this. So much of the time I run to other earthly things to “fix” my problems or to my friends for advice. When in reality my heart needs to turn to God for all of my answers.
     
    That he is my hope, joy, strength, greatest love, husband, best friend, father, teacher, wise counselor, happiness, substance, life, breath, creator, ultimate sacrifice, peace, song, savior, sacrificial lamb, healer, greatest pursuer, light, hope, guidance, protector.

basically, i just listed everything. lightbulb moment: God is everything that i need. so while my flesh may fail, my soul longs for this intimacy with my God. I am overwhelmed by the thought that he gives everything he has, for me. woah, big thought there. Not only is he my reward, BUT I AM HIS REWARD. This relationship that I am longing for, he longs for more. So yes I struggle sometimes to sing this song. Because inside my heart there is a war going on, between my flesh and my spirit. And my spirit man is winning. God is the greatest desire of my heart, and one day I will not have to leave his presence and we will be one.   He is what completes me.
