It had been a long time since I allowed Him to romance me.
We’ve been in a dry spell, He and I. Only He didn’t go anywhere.
But His lamb had strayed and the unmistakable rod began to nudge on an unseasonably warm December day in the Midwest.
Walks are the way we commune. I hear Him more fully when I’m in His creation.
I deeply inhale what is Him until my lungs can’t take anymore and I’m forced to release what is me.
More of You, Lord. Less of me. With every inhale and exhale, this is my prayer.
He always plays the DJ during our time together. An iPod on shuffle never fails to deliver His intimate message.
Last night was no different.
The second song He played was “Only You” by David Crowder Band. After hearing it once, I marinated in the words and moved the setting to repeat.
We stroll along and I worship Him as He paints a breathtaking sunset that encircles my steps.
Sometimes, no oftentimes, I just need to hear it over and over again until it can start to even make a crack in the skull of a very slow learner who desperately needs His Son.
So I walk and we dance and I forget why I ever strayed in the first place and He fills me with His grace because that’s the way He rolls.
And that’s how He rolls with you, too.
What songs are moving you these days?
I can’t believe I had never heard that song before! Praise God that that is the one He placed on your heart to share! I too have been going through a dry spell. I think being involved in all the facebook groups got a bit overwhelming and during our hiatius I have just taken an unconscious, unintentional major step away. I need to remedy that, especially as this is the season we SHOULD be focusing completely on Jesus. Thanks for the post Natalie!
Thank you for sharing a song I too, have never heard before! I really needed to hear those words as well, now to go out and talk with my best friend on a much needed long walk with Him.
I miss everyone…Wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas season!
Love you my sweet sister~
