Rest

Can't believe it has already been pretty much five months since I wrote my last post...it's definitely been a while. Man, life is such a rollercoaster. Recently, I feel so distracted with life that I forget to truly rest. And no, not rest as in sleep and go out; but really to rest in the presence of God and to experience His peace. That feeling of completeness and comfort is beginning to feel more foreign to me, and I just want to go back. It feels like I'm trying to take on the worries, the stress, all by myself. Even though I know it isn't necessary. It seems like I'm afraid to let go and let God take the wheel to my life because I don't know what will happen. Yet, the truth is if I let him steer the way, there is only one destination: His perfect plan. I just need to let go. I need to trust. I need to rest, in Him.

I'm so excited to sing this song for worship this week! It's called "One Pure and Holy Passion". The lyrics are so simple. But that's the thing. Following Jesus is this simple - so why am I stressing?

Give me one pure and holy passion
Give me one magnificent obsession
Give me on glorious ambition for my life
To know and follow hard after you.

To know and follow hard after you
To grow as your disciple in your truth
This world is empty, pale and poor
Compared to knowing you, my Lord
Lead me on and I will run after you
Lead me on and I will run after you.
