i just want You, Jesusi just want You, my Lordi just want You, Jesusi just want Youjust came back from ymlc. and it was amazing. i needed a time out to get my life back on track to where God is.. and that's exactly what i got..i missed being in His presence so much. it was just so comforting to just sit there, knowing that He loves me for exactly who i am. even with all the dark things that i did, there's no point hiding cuz God knows it all.
i think i'll never forget the testimony shared by one of the fathers there. his son was 'naughty' and his wife couldn't handle him and as he broke down in tears he said.. you truly wouldn't know the love of the Father till you become a father. if it pains my heart to see my son behaving this way, i can imagine the multitude of pain i cause the Father when i turn my back on Him. and i started crying (and josh started laughing). but i truly felt the love of the Father thru what he said. the pains of the times i've ran away from home. ignored His phone calls and sms-es. pretended not to see Him walking by on the street.
there is no greater love than Yours
nothing else could ever compare
and even if i searched all the world
i would never find a love like Yours
and as usual God was the perfect boyfriend. and i hope a certain girlfriend of mine is reading this. He really is the complete perfect boyfriend. whatever he can't provide, He can. you know when you watch in tv shows, and the guy always shows up at the exact moment in time that you need him? not a moment before, not a moment too late? to me, God's that guy. He meets me whenever i need Him the most. when i'm crying in the dark alone in my room, without having to send an sms or calling anyone, He's there -- to cover me with His arms and protect me and rock me to sleep in His presence. when i'm running away in the rain and i stop to hide under a tree, and i think no one's going to ever find me here, there He is -- ready to cover me with His jacket (haha.) and protect me from the rain. He's there whispering the words that i need to hear the most. that tv show boyfriend? yup. that's my Jesus.
i know this sounds really silly, but it provides me with so much comfort knowing that He's always looking out for me. He'll never let me run off alone. He'll never miss the tears that I cry. He knows exactly what i'm going thru without me having to tell Him. and this day, i pray that you, my precious girlfriend, will come to discover that He truly loves you with everything that He's got. and that love is deeper than you'd ever know. He's holding you up, even right now, even when it seems totally impossible. i pray that He would make His presence ever so clear to you. that you'd know He's right there. :)
