Yearn

This morning when I awoke, this wonderful song was playing on repeat in my heart and soul.



Holy design, this place in time, that I might seek and find my God (my God)
Lord I want to yearn for You, 
I want to burn with passion over You, and only You
Lord I want to yearn for You, 

I want to burn with passion over You, and only You

Lord, I want to yearn

Your joy is mine, yet why am I fine, with all my singing and bringing grain in light of Him

oh You give life and breath, in Him we live and move that's why I sing

Lord I want to yearn for You, 

I want to burn with passion over You, and only You
Lord I want to yearn for You, 

I want to burn with passion over You, and only You

Lord, I want to yearn

(Shane & Shane: Yearn)



Hebrews 12:28-29 says: Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire. 


And I sit here overwhelmed and humbled by the grace of the LORD who deserves my continual praise and often times doesn't get anything but my futile demands and selfish requests. Yet he remains faithful,.. so very faithful. Thank you LORD for your faithfulness.


Lately my prayer has been to be alive in Christ, to really be alive, to be consumed by his joy and his presence. And sometimes I find myself praying that and going on my merry way, as though the prayer was just something to check off the list of things to do today. But I mean it. I WANT to mean it, with every fiber in my being. Lord help me to mean it.






Lord I know your joy is mine. Teach me to yearn for you, fearlessly.
