PSALM 89:1
“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever…”
I will do this. In my heart, in my car, in my prayers, in community worship. How can I not? He is relentless in His Love for me. Never putting a limit on His willingness to forgive. Always quick to rush in when I respond to His Mercy. I am in need of Him every hour since the essence of me is imperfect. But He will not let my shortages prevent our closeness. He gave Himself through Jesus to ensure that my humanity would not be a destructive factor in our love. He did not stand back. He was in Jesus, fully engaged in my unification with Him. “For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself.” Colossians 1: 19-20. All I can do is surrender. Then His Love and Mercy becomes an impelling force causing me to want to change and be like Him. And the whole while, I am accompanied by Jesus, and the Spirit and my Father every hour without ceasing. “And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God.” Romans 8:10 My singing will never capture all that I feel for His Mercy and Love, but He loves hearing it anyway.
⭐Lord, I Need You⭐
Written by: Matt Maher
Lord, I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without You I fall apart
You’re the One that guides my heart
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Where sin runs deep Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are, Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me.
Amen. ??
