eager and in love

I've been so eager to hear God's Words to me, to our generation as a whole. It's so so beautiful to hear his voice! I've been learning heaps recently, so today I took a day to simply breathe and be.

One little nugget of fun wisdom first though... If you're ever having trouble finding peace and quiet in your mind's space, I urge you to just sit and look at a tree. I know what you're thinking. I'm such a hippie. Okay, only a little bit; just hear me out. Keep looking at the tree until you actually notice it swaying, watch every leaf, then look around you and notice how in actuality, all of the trees are moving. We kinda just assume that trees are mostly very still and stoic, but let me tell you, they are movers! Anyways, maybe it won't help you, but it helped me. My thoughts vanished and I could breathe in peace again.

And then God spoke! through this scripture that was in John Piper's book, "Think":

"Behold, I will pour out my spirit to you;
I will make my words known to you" proverbs 1:23

and...

"If you receive my words... inclining your heart to understanding, calling out for insight, raising your voice for understanding, seeking it like silver,
then you will understand the fear of the Lord
and find the knowledge of God" proverbs 2:1-5

wow!

how crazy is that?? if we ask him to know things, he will tell us. hmm.

the mystery of the Gospel has been revealed, yet sometimes we try to act all ignorant; as if Jesus never came to live on earth at all, connecting us to God forever (if we choose to walk on the bridge). It's quite a journey, but it's absolutely magnificent.

I'm learning more about what and who God loves, what He hates, the way He works/speaks/acts.


If I were to boil it down, I'd say that I'm falling in love.
Truly, truly.
Just like the School House Rocks used to say... "Knowledge is Power!!"
and in this case, the power is Love itself.

The more I learn, the more I love, the more I ask, the more I hear, the more He leads me, the more I want to follow...


Anyways, I wrote this today, as I sat with Jesus today. I didn't think at all, just wrote. Here goes:

I seek You;
Therefore I discover.
Hope is not a lost cause,
Nor is it a lie.

True You are,
True You remain,
My Beloved King.

And angels sing!
All proclaim!
Great, good, mighty
To thee
Be the Glory
The One True Glory.

Fruit of Your tree,
Too sweet to eat;
My mouth craves its juices;
Alas, I am too unclean
My fingers have
Only brushed it.

Purify my limbs, fingers, soul;
I ache to be near You,
Ache to know
You,
God.

To taste Your fruit
For all its goodness.

I shall remain
In You
For You
Not against You
(How could I ever oppose
All that is right?
The One True Thing?)

Here I am,
Unworthy, servant girl.
May I kiss Your throne?
Touch Your sandal?

Yet You lift me up now,
Look me in the eye
and say,

"Marry me".
