Contemplating the God Breathed Life

pondering...

meditating.....

(which literally means chewing on the cud - like a cow thoughtfully chews her grass - as if contemplating what eating the grass means)

contemplating....

what is God's purpose for my life

what things can I purge out of my life

what is unnecessary in my journey....

what is weighing down my travel pack

what unnecessary burdens do I have stowed away

what hinders my journey as a soujourner

a foreigner

an alien in this world

my Creator guides me from within

if only I will look

what keeps me from the wisdom he can give

fear...

doubt....

rebellion.....

alas,

it is my fallen human nature

oh how I have tried...

tried...

to align myself with Providence

oh what a wretched man I am

a gift given

taken for granted

do I spit on the Cross of Christ

NO

submit to Him I must

or die

death is the answer

die to self I must...

live for Him

I will no longer keep

my heart from Him...

afraid to let him handle

but allow Him

to break it

and let the Healer be

who He is

so my heart He

can mend

I quote:

Why? Why are you still here with me?
Didn’t you see what I’ve done?
In my shame I want to run,
And hide myself.
Yeah, but it’s here I see the truth,
I don’t deserve you.

But I need you to love me,
And I, I won’t keep my heart from you this time.
And I’ll stop this pretending that I can,
Somehow deserve what I already have
I need you to love me.

I, I have wasted so much time
Pushing you away from me.
I just never saw how you
Could cherish me.

Cause you’re a God who has all things,
And still you want me.

And I need you to love me,
And I, I won’t keep my heart from you this time.
And I’ll stop this pretending that I can,
Somehow deserve what I already have
Yeah, ye-ea-eah

Your love makes me forget what I have been.
Your love makes me see who I really am.
Your love makes me forget what I have been, oh-oh.

And I need you to love me, yeah
I need you to love me, ye-ea-eah!
And I’ll stop this pretending that I can,
Somehow deserve what I already have
Somehow deserve what I already have
I need you to love me, yeahI need you to…
oh oh oh oh eo
Love me, love me, yah
