Have you ever listened to a song, and felt the words so deeply, or the meaning behind the words so moving they may have been writing about you? That moment of clarity in listening and understanding an emotion, desire, feeling, or circumstance?
I am so vested in my regular daily routines, I sometimes forget to sit and have quiet time. That quiet time where I reflect on my thankfulness for all I have, the days events, or prayers to the Lord offering thanks and sharing my desires is a rarity for me. Usually this time comes between dropping off kids and I am driving to work, or going to pick them up in the afternoons after work. While I enjoy the times I spend with them, it is nice to have a 5 minute breather for myself at times.
Things have been so busy lately that I have come short on this. I have failed to be thankful, failed to be compassionate, failed to give thanks, and talk to the Lord regarding the desires of my heart. Psalms 37:4 tells me to "Delight yourself in the LORD and he will give you the desires of your heart." Yet, I fail to do this on such a regular basis that my time feels rushed in attempts to offer my thanks.
Yesterday, I was sitting at work going through my duties. I was listening to music, and the song Everything came on. This song touched me in so many ways. I have not felt peace recently. I have been so caught up in keeping my head above water I have failed to reach my hand out for support. I sat and just listened, attempted to be still long enough to embrace the love I have in my life, the goodness I have been given, the amazing life I am able to live. I am not climbing mountains, not curing cancer, not creating world peace - but the life I have is amazing by those within my life, by the grace offered me on an everyday basis. How could I not be absolutely stand in awe of what I have, and what I have been given. I have so much to be thankful for, so much to wake up daily for.
Everything
by Lighthouse
Find Me Here
Speak To Me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place where I find peace again.
You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose...you're everything.
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won't let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
Cause you're all I want, You're all I need
You're everything,everything
And How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
