Breathless

the month of July past so fasts its ridiculous! this summer feels like it's only beginning, yet falls right around the corner. this was my hearts cry for july:

Now that i have seen your good deeds how could i not love you? now that i have heard of all you’ve done how could i not know that you are the king and that you love your people. Now that i have been loved by the creator of Love how could anything ever compare. You have won my heart. I was hard to track down, easily distracted, and my eyes wandered through every room. But who could ignore your presence oh Lord. Who would deny themselves all that you have offered. I have tasted the lips of wickedness, I have touched the skin of sin. The heat of those actions runs through me as its poison reaches below the surface. But who is Like you God, who cleanses me of my own foolishness and removes the traces of poison from me. Even my mind has been restored my lips no longer feel impressions that were left behind by my actions, my fingers, no longer the heat. You have made me whole; now my whole being aches for you. I am in constant awe and wonder that the king of the universe loves me more than the world could ever know. You have sought after my heart, pursued it. while i was in the arms of your enemy you were waging war on my behalf. 

You have won your battle. Your fight was not in vain. You have turned my heart towards you. Now I will lay my head on your arm in perfect peace. I will sit at your feet all day long in wonder of your wisdom and kindness. I will serve you all my life for my life is little compared to your greatness. You have chosen me. What is this? I cannot understand the ways and goodness of the Lord, and yet i will not turn away from, but embrace it with all that i am. I want all of you jesus with all that i am.

in you there is perfect peace, perfect joy, and perfect Love. there is nothing lacking in you. Oh there are not enough languages, not enough words to emulate the vast greatness of my God. I wish i knew more.

Lord- blessed are you. you who needs no one; who is complete in and of yourself. Thank you for inviting me into you Holy Love. for letting me share it, not only as a spectator but as a participant. Lord give my heart greater capacities to carry your love and my mind greater understanding. I wish to grow in wisdom and truth. That your love would be carried through me, that others would know it to be true. 

you leave me breathless.
