I know it's been a while. I've had a few ideas run though my head the past couple months, but didn't know quite how to get them down on "paper". But this morning I was inspired by a song that popped into my head while I was reading the Bible. This song is an oldie, but goodie. :) And you get to see a video of me singing it this time!
As I mentioned above, this song popped into my head this morning. I love it when God will use a song to be just what I need in a particular moment of time. This song is my current prayer to God.
Recently I've been trying to refocus myself on God whenever I feel like I'm starting to get off track (by worrying, thinking about my future, getting stressed out, feeling unorganized, or concentrating on wanting my future husband.) I've been saying, in those times, "Lord, I want you to be all I need. Please be my focus, my motivation, my first thought."
A few weeks ago, while at a church event, I was really struggling with my desires for a husband. If you know me really well, you will know that it tends to be this ongoing battle everyday... But in that particular moment, I was asking God how in the world I could be fulfilled physically with Him? My love language is touch, so I feel the most fulfilled when I get a hug from my dad (would be my husband, if I had one...). How can God meet my constant desire for a warm embrace?
As I was standing there, I had this... I don't know what to call it... vision seems a little strong of a word... thought seems like not strong enough... But this image was suddenly playing in my brain:
I walked into a place that was all white, for it shone with God's glory. In front of me was a massive throne! It was made of very strong material, like marble or something, but had something soft covering the hard surface. There were steps leading up to this throne, and I approached it. Suddenly, sitting on the throne, was Jesus! I couldn't see his face. I could see him from the neck down. His face was too bright to see. As I walked up to the throne, He motioned with open arms for me to come up and sit on His lap. So I did. I walked up the steps crawled onto His lap and laid my head on His shoulder.
How Awesome is that!?! When my mind starts to go wandering to desires of a husband, I remind myself of this "vision". He is holding me in His arms right now! He cares for me beyond what I could ask or imagine. And something that I never thought possible happened... I snuggled with Jesus!
I guess what I'm getting at here... Jesus is really, truly, all you need. You can go on without a husband, wife, family, brother, sister, friend... You can live without any of those people in your life, for God is all you need. He is all I want. He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all I could ask or imagine. (Eph. 3:20)
Today I encourage you to read Psalm 91. It is one I memorized as a child, and has been great to speak over my life at many different stages.
Have an amazing week!
