Surrender

"He's more than the laughter, or the stars in the heavens
As close as a heartbeat, or a song on our lips
Someday we'll trust Him, and learn how to see Him
Someday He'll call us, and we will come running
And fall in His arms, the tears will fall down and we'll pray
I want to fall in love with You
I want to fall in love with You"

God is more than an almighty being in the sky. He is as close to us and as near to us as the songs we sing on our lips, as close as our heartbeats, because He dwells within us. Trusting in the Lord and being faithful to His call are two hard things for us as humans to do--but each day we continue to learn how to do that, how to get better at doing that. We need to learn how to see Him, meaning we need to pursue Him and get to know Him and dive in His word, seek His face, learn how to see Him with new eyes. See Him for the lover of our souls, see Him for the Father He is to us, see Him for the friend and constant refuge He provides for us, and even see Him for the victorious One at the end of it all.

Fall in His arms...allow yourself to surrender to Him completely. I like to picture God standing there as I collapse into His embrace, and He doesn't let me go, He doesn't let me fall.

Let us fall in love with Him.
