Now I know that God is always with me. No doubt about it. But lately I’ve just had sweet, sweet time with Him. I think the key is that I’ve taken the time to seek Him. I’ve asked Him to meet me where I am, and He has. I’ve felt like His arms are just wrapped so tightly around me, and it’s such a comfort. He’s never letting go.
Have you ever experienced that? Those special moments with God? Lately I seem to think everything is just a gift from Him to me–I mean not a bad concept, right? Yesterday as I went for a jog, I decided to run and just thank Him for everything. Anything I could think of I thanked Him. Everything from the BEAUTIFUL autumn leaves to the sidewalks I was running on and the people who put them there. And you know what? I ended my run feeling SO GOOD, and not just because I worked out. It was because I had taken the time to THANK Him. I had taken the time to just BE with Him. And it was so rewarding.
Then this morning, at all-staff worship we sang a song by Jesus Culture called Come Away. In my mind, it was another gift from God. Here’s the lyrics:
Come away with Me, Come away with Me
It’s never too late, it’s not too late
It’s not too late for you
Open up your heart and let Me in
It’s never too late, it’s not too late
It’s not too late for you
I have a plan for you
I have a plan for you
It’s gonna be wild
It’s gonna be great
It’s gonna be full of Me
Open up your heart and let Me in
I loved singing this song. And in a way, I felt like God was singing it to me. I was comforted in the fact He has a plan for me and it’s gonna be wild, it’s gonna be great, and it’s gonna be full of HIM! I am just overwhelmed by His goodness.
