This weekend, I got to worship at a friends' house. One of my friends was praying while we listened to music, and he began to thank God that we can come into the throne-room - that we don't have to be afraid - that God takes off His lightning robe, and lets us climb into His lap. And that.... that really struck me.
What would it look like... if I climbed into the lap of my Lord? What would it look like... if I stopped trying all on my own, and found my rest in Him?
I want to know. I want to be closer.
That is my prayer, especially at this time in my life, when I've been letting so much fill my life, that I don't take time to... rest. I wanna find my rest in God again.
Finding Rest
3/21/15
What
would it look like
To
run into the Throne-room,
Unashamed,
Unafraid,
Unassuming
-
Like
a child, full of joy -
Like
a child
Full
of delight at being with my Father?
What
would it look like
If
I threw down my pain,
My
brokenness,
And
my fears
At
the edge of Your throne,
And
climbed into Your lap
To
find my peace there?
What
would it look like
If
I opened my clenched hands
And
put my rags of treasures
Into
Your loving arms?
What
would it look like
If
I gave it all?
What
would it look like
To
let go of my plans
As
well as my failures
And
simply be...
At
rest, in You?
What
would that look like?
What
would it look like
If
I stayed on Your lap
And
trusted day by day
That
You see each step I take -
If
I went to sleep
In
the crook of your arm
And
woke up in the peace
Of
your Spirit?
What
would that look like?
What
would it look like
To
find You in my moments,
As
I'd see a friend
Walking
right next to me?
What
if I spoke to You
About
all my life?
What
if
I
lived....
With
You as my best friend?
What
would that look like?
God...
Please
show me what that would look like.
