Let me tell you about my best friend…

He continues to love me and fight for me when I am fighting to go somewhere else.  But, where would I go?

He’s taken me on adventures I never could have imagined without Him.  He sets my heart free and make me love with abandon.  He gives me wisdom to know when to move and when to stay.  He has taught me to endure and grow when my outside circumstances do not change.

My prayers lately are for God to draw me close to Him.  I want to walk with Him.  I want Him to part the Red Sea.  I want to see miracles.  I want my faith to grow.  That means my flaws are on the surface and it’s a battle between flesh and spirit to surrender and let go of what I want.  I want what He wants…much easier to say than it is to trust to let go when it is actually happening.

I want the faith of Joshua to have a trained army and just walk around a wall.
I want the faith of Noah to build an ark in the middle of a desert.
I want the faith of Abraham to agree to do the hardest thing a parent would have to do and obey for God to provide when he says to give up your most treasured thing: Your child.
I want the faith and patience of Hannah, Sarah, and Elizabeth…..(well, Sarah had some issues, but the promise still came because God is faithful…)

I don’t want any distractions.  Jesus, cut off anything that tries to come between You and me.  I want Him to be my one desire.  I don’t want to settle with false anything.  Life is too short to waste His precious time on worthless things the world says we need.

He is it.  He is enough.  He called me out of darkness and wants me for Himself.

This song is on repeat the last two days:

Reckless Love – Cory Asbury

“When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me.
You have been so, so good to me.
When I felt no worth, You paid it all for me.
You have been so, so kind to me.
