All it takes is an hour. But the hours turn into days. The days into weeks. Three weeks later I now give you an update. During this time we've talked about missions/laying down our rights, relationships and hearing God's voice.
Let me try to summarize through a rhyme.
Laying down my rights to comfort, safety and own desire.
This life I dedicate to the one I love.
I pray that nothing will quench this fire.
I used to live a life satisfying to my own flesh.
Earning money so I could spend it on myself.
Finally I realized that He is the one that knows best.
I give it up, I give it all to the one I love
It's not forced, manipulated or sad
It brings me life.
Created in my fathers image, created as a relational being.
I've learned to appreciate my family and friends
But love is more than just a feeling.
It's easy to love when I rejoice
But when someone's pushing my buttons
Love becomes a choice.
Everyday I want to choose to love.
Everyday I need to be humbled.
Everyday I choose the one I love.
I can pray for the sick and feed the homeless
Yes I can do very good deeds
But without love it's absolutely pointless!
Listen child, listen to His voice
Just stop and listen
He calls you by choice.
From sins I've been set free
So that we can do life together
He wants to partner with me.
Sometimes He may seem silent in the middle of a storm
But I must never forget
That the one I love, loves me even more.
Look at you, being a little poet and all! Love it and you :)
