Unto You I Write

"How great you are, O Lord my God Your abounding beauty resonates throughout all of creation Darkness trembles in your holy presence The whole earth is filled with your glory Together all of creation joins in a mighty chorus The leaves dance; the birds sing; your bride proclaims Praise be to God. Maker of the heavens and earth. O Gracious Father, reveal your desires unto me That I might bring the kingdom of heaven to this earth Break down the walls of solitude For your kingdom leaves no room for such as these Your love stretches from the east to the west There is no place void of your love In you, O Lord my Keeper, I seek refuge No other fortress will satisfy me Restore my soul, that I might be reconciled unto you; Who sculpted and molded me in your very image Let not my heart become ostentacious May I forever endure in this fortitude Awaken my very being, O Lord my God To see all of that which is pleasing to you Instill in me a passion that screams the greatest remedy of all Blood shed from a savior; the one who paid it all." This is something that I wrote to God. I recently finsihed Floyd McClung's 'Livin' on the Devil's Doorstep,' and at one point it talks about Christmas time, and how they are actaully giving gifts unto God. After all, it is his birthday. That simple fact stirred inside of me quite a bit... Because nowadays, we instead buy gifts for each other. Anyway, the point of this is not to talk about that true meaning of Christmas haha. That would be silly, considering it's February :) But here's what I'm thinking: Floyd and his crew had the right idea. It's Jesus' birthday, so shouldn't we give unto Him? But how do we justify stopping there? Giving God a gift one day out of 365? The guy who's up there 24/7, non-stop on the job working to give us the best life possible?? To drown us in his blessings? I encourage whoever it is that might find this quick word today to just take 5-10 minutes and just give unto God. It can be anything. He is forever interceding for us, so let's express how much we appreciate it!! Thanks everyone!!
