Psalm 84:2

My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord,
my heart and my flesh cry out for the Living God.
Psalm 84:2
 
So often I think on verses that are dos and donts. Forgetting to just revel in the Lords presence, savour the peace of Gods love. Praise is so often reserved for victories, or tangible blessings. Too often I hold God in the position of a daddy to go to when I need things. Forgetting that His blessings have already come fully. If there were no other tangible blessings or every imperfection corrected on my own strivings during this life, I will have received everything I already need. I just need to accept it. He has taken me as I am, and wants me to constantly give my life over to Him and let Him guide my steps. That is the ultimate blessing and nothing else compares to that. And so I should sing and have this attitude written on my heart and constantly on my mind: My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord, my heart and flesh cry out for the Living God. Then the cravings in me will be met with God's love.

  5. Love this. Beautiful photo too. I bought myself some pink roses yesterday. Bringing more beauty into my home rather than things to consume that make me sad. Isn't it such a joy to know that there are so many on the same journey?

    I hope you don't mind but I've linked your blog post to mine.
