The Best Words

 

 

 

 

Quick thought...

So I'm sitting here alone listening to Bethel Music's "Without Words" album (go check it out if you haven't ever heard it), just looking at pictures on my wall of adventures I've taken in the past that mean something to me, and out of no where it seems I hear God say "I know where you are free". At first I didn't know what to think of it. But then I realized, I have a heart that wants to roam free. I want to go places, and see things. I want a cool breeze to brush my face as I drive down an open highway. But where am I right now? I'm at my apartment just sitting here wanting to jump into all of those pictures. That forest, those mountains, that rain drenched highway...I want to be there, but I'm not. 

In a moment like this where my heart is longing for something I can't have just yet it is good to know that God understands. He gets me! And what I feel more than anything is that He wants me to be there, and He wants to be with me. All of my longings don't go unnoticed, they are heard by a God who sometimes seems so far away, but who in reality is right here with me. What is most important is that while God knows how free I feel when I'm out there adventuring He knows that I can be free wherever I am. In Him I am truly free.

 

I'm not sure if this will resonate with anyone, but I can't help but tell what's on my mind. And in doing so I'd like to share the prayer I just prayed, and maybe it can be your prayer too.

"Jesus, You are truly my best friend, my Lord. What would I do without you? There are so many mountains for us to climb, so many views for us to take in. God, help me walk closer to you, because in you is the meaning of my life. In you my soul can roam, and find its purpose. Lord, you truly know where I am free."

I love all of you! Have a beautiful weekend!
