Eternity and the hands that hold me.

Pslm 50:2- Frin Zion, the perfection of beauty, God appears in radiance.
Pslm 27:4-"I have asked one thing from the Lord; it is what I DESIRE: to dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, gazing on the beauty of the Lord and seeking him in his temple".
Pslm 28:8- In Your behalf my heart says, "Seek My Face". Lord, I will seek Your face."

Will anything begin to get familiar?

Nothing seems familiar in this place anymore.
This earth doesn't quite feel like home. And I'm left trying to gather and muster up something familiar in this world. But I can't come up with anything.
I'm seeking Jesus and his calling.. but what else can be put on the alter Lord?
Anytime I try to grab hold onto something that's not of you, I feel empty.
This earth is fading away..this time is gone. No familiar nook to hide my head from the storm.
I guess this is when I face things head on, with extremity and with no holding back. I gripping my white knuckles over the plow, and I'm not looking back. There's No going back to Egypt when Life was simpler, when life was familiar. When those idols gave such comfort to my soul. Jesus is coming, and his firey eyes are upon me positioning me to gain what I cannot lose. I'm looking towards the heavens, trying to fixate my eyes on the things unseen, I no longer want what I want. I can no longer trust what I think I can trust. The Lord holds the power, the dominion, the breadth in my lungs, and I can't go back to settling in the christian dissulion.
There is a kingdom to advance, there are souls to reach.
Jesus come back the anticipation is killing us, we want to see your kingdom come. Let it flood over this earth like the heavens take rightful place in your sight and majesty, we want the same father. Are these just ramblings? And are these just thoughts? Coming out of dry and weary soul? But I think they are coming from a soul that is passionate about you Jesus. I want to see You Jesus. But responsibilities call... But I'm still asking for initimacy. So come and interrupt my everyday life and take ownership of this mundane lifestyle.

Back again Lord, there's still a hunger, my souls not at rest. It's still sooo thirty, it's aching with pain because the hole in my heart is missing you. I need you to hug and minister to my very being, put your loving arms around me, and let me know you are the G-d I know, love, and long for. I have to know that I'm not just loving on God of four walls, or a God of my own image. But by my breadth and your word, let us commune and know each other. Run away with me, I've been looking everywhere for you! So now it's about time.

" I sleep, but my heart is awake. A sound! My Love is knocking! Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my perfect one. For my head is drenched in dew, my hair with droplets of the night.I have taken off my clothing How can I put it back on? I have washed my feet. How can I get them dirty? My Love thrust his hand through the opening, and my feelings were stirred for him.I rose to open for my love. My hands dripping with myrrh, my fingers flowing with myrrh on the handles of the bolt. I opened to my love, but my love turned and gone away. I was crushed that he had left. I sought him, but did not find him. I called him, but he did not answer.The gaurds who go about the city found me. They beat and wounded me; they took my cloack from me- the gaurdians of the walls. Young women of Jerusalem, I charge you: if you find my love, tell him that I am LOVE.SICK. " Song of Solomon 5:2-8

Staying up waiting for you Lord, wondering when we're going to start walking more intimately with one another. I can't fake that I am not faint of lack of love from you. I need you, no other lover will do. You are the fairest of 10,000, I would rather have you than anyone else. Jesus come back and marry your bride.(The spirit and the Bride say come!)- Rev.22:17

You have always been GOOD to - .ME.

Jesus thank you for always being so G00D to me, I promise I won't pout or complain, even though I don't understand your ways. I TRUST YOU. I delight in you, man Jesus you are so GREAT SO BIG so Incredible. Jesus take my life... it IS YOURS, it's the very LEAST I can do. Let it bring life to people I come in contact with. And most of all Jesus develope me in LOVE. Jesus I need to love, please abba I beg you teach me how to love.. how to be consistant, relentless, and pure in my LOVE. Father My love is so weak.. and I don't want to offer MY love but Your love. Father you have always been a good foundation for me, to step my feet. As I walk through the muck and the mire.. and my face is stained and crusted with dirt.. you see me as beautiful. I look at the beauty of your glowing face, and I have peace I'm right where I belong. Whether caked in mudd, or forgotten by this world and the people. I see you as BEAUTY, I want the world to SEE you. I mean really SEE you. Please take every part of my JOY, it is only yours that my heart smiles. I thank you for people being awakened to see you, I thank you that you would use someone like me to shine some light on their hardened hearts. I pray that I would stop focusing on myself but that I would focus on the deadness around me, not be troubled, or distraught but to pursue them to ask for your breadth of life to go into them. Jesus how can I live without you? Your life and your blood must go forth, you are the only REAL JOY and LOVE we have nothing in this world is better than you! YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE.I just love you so much, for all the wonders that you do, their is nothing you won't take me out of. You have turned my hardened heart into a loving stream. You have taken me out of the drunken vomit into your loving arms. You have picked me up out of my self pity, and turned my face to you. I want nothing in this life but you. I pray for visions, dreams, of you and your vision for me. Help me see the JOY in the tasks that you put before me, and help me never be distraught or feel heavy about bringing life to people. Help me never give up this fight to bring others into the same light and joy that I have found. I once was lost.. but now I'M FOUND! this Joy that surrounds me is more than I can take.. I'm undone. Your are my LIFE. hOLD ME Jesus! I am yours. Take my family.. let this be yours. Let the customers at the coffee shop find you in their church. Let the radicals know you and be sold out for you. Jesus help me LOVE.

I have to love... Father EXPAND my heart. Whatever you have to do give me compassion behind my understandings. Give me love behind fear, or insecurities. I need your love and your life. I need to see it go into this dry and weary world.
