Finding Rest

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.
