Turbulence

O God,
What’s wrong with me,
Why can’t I be the person you created me to be?
Why do I turn so far,
From what my heart knows is right?
Turbulent rapids cannot compare,
To the war raging inside of me.
The things I’ve held,
Has caused me to walk away,
From the love of a God so pure.
The struggles of living life,
The way I know is right,
Has taken its toll and left me…
Weary and torn.

I long to walk in your pasture of rest,
Along the river of peace,
Drink deep of the fountain of grace,
And be made whole once again.

O Lord, God of Wonder and Might,
Forgive me for walking the path of selfishness,
Help me back to the way of righteousness,
Teach me of your law and justice,
Bring me closer to You.

how come I'm the only one that comments all the time. I'm like the comment person or something.
Anyways...this one, really is meaningful today to me because God has taken away the things that have covered and burdened my heart the past couple weeks and it's just been so joyful and free and I guess this morning I'm a little emotional about it, at how He speaks His love all the time and is always with me, just looking over me as I go about my life...I guess sometimes it's too much for me to handle, emotionally, and I don't really want to cry right now...even though that's what I feel like doing. God is so amazing. He's everything. ok I'm gonna go before the waterworks start.....
oh yeah so, this one really shows that, shows a simple heart, simple love, God's simple love for us. It's amazing........
