Faithful

"Faithful"

There's distance in the air and I cannot make it leave
i wave my arms' round about me and blow with all my might
I cannot sense you close, though I know you're always here
But the comfort of you near is what i long for
[CHORUS]
When I can't feel you, I have learned to reach out just the same
When I can't hear you, I know you still hear everyword I pray
And i want you more than i want to live another day
And as I wait for you maybe I'm made more faithful

All the folly of the past, though I know it is undone
i still feel the guilty one, still trying to make it right
So i whisper soft your name, let it roll around my tounge,
knowing you're the only one who knows me
You know me
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
Show me how I should live this
Show me where I should walk
I count this world as loss to me
You are all I want
You are all I want



---So this song has really been on my heart lately. I reheard it again the other day and the truth of its words really penetrated my heart. How many times in life do I find myself getting frustrated when the Lord doesn't answer my prayers immediately the way I want Him to? A lot, that's for sure! I've really learned that even when I can't feel Him I shouldn't give up being faithful to Him! Feeling and knowing are two different things. Feeling relies on the self, and knowing relies on God! I love the part in the song where it says, "When I can't hear you, I know you still hear every word I pray..." So many times I feel like God doesn't hear me, but He ALWAYS does!  "I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him." 1 John 5:13-15. GOD HEARS US. Wow! That is SO incredible to me that the Creator of the Heavens and earth cares about what I have to say. He wants to use my life for His glory! If that doesn't make you want to jump up and down like a crazy person.. I don't know what will!




Just something on my heart.
