I want to live captivated.

I want to live captivated.
I want to live abiding.
I want to see Jesus as most beautiful.
I want to desire Him, Creator, Redeemer, Father, Beloved, more than anything else.
 
This is how I want to live my life.
I want to live in love.
 
I want to always be consciously aware of His presence.
I want to be always captivated by my God and how good He is.
 
I never want to forget what He saved me FROM.
I want to be thankful always.
I want to remember I did nothing for my salvation.
How undeserving I am.
Grace, grace, grace, infinite grace.
Unending goodness.
Delight, favor, and honor He pours out on His children.
 
And I want to always remember what He saved me TO.
Full joy, Abundant life.
A sure and steadfast hope.
My portion – more than enough.
True freedom.
Running from a place of rest.
Dying to obtain resurrection power.
Abiding in my Father and bearing eternal fruit.
This is what I was made for.
 
I want to live outrageously loved.
To BE LOVED as the beloved.
Loving God completely.
Loving myself correctly.
Loving others compassionately.
I am His delight.
God is always proud of me.
He sees me; He knows my deepest need.
And He never withholds, but gives abundantly.
He fights for me and goes with me.
I am His and He is mine.
 
Sometimes He carries me.
Sometimes I walk alongside Him.
Sometimes we run, just to see how fast we can go.
Deep Joy. Satisfied.
Fiilled. Always Filled.
Thirst Quenched. Finally.
This is what I was made for.
 
IN CHRIST. That is my new identity.
That is how my Father relates to me.
My new identity secure.  Grace upon grace.
I am a new creation.
I am an ambassador of heaven.
I am now in business of reconciling.
I have resurrection power.
I declare, proclaim, worship, glorify.
A fire kept ablaze in this cold, cold world by the Spirit himself.
I am aroma of Christ.
No one can pluck me out of His hand.
 
I want to desire Him, Creator, Redeemer, Father, Beloved, more than anything else.
I want to see Jesus as most beautiful.
I want to live abiding.
I want to live captivated.
 
There is nothing greater. This is what I was made for.
I love you Jesus.
