I pray I never take these walks for granted.
Sunrise or sunset, or any time in between, I can count on something beautiful, not just on the sky, from The Lord, but in our time together.
Thank You Jesus, for always being there with me, even when I’m not “there” with You because my thoughts are distracted.
Thank You for being present for every single walk, always willing and able to spend that time with me, to talk to me, to teach me, to correct me, to inspire me or just walk silently with me.
It cannot be overstated, that I honestly don’t know where I would be without You to save me from myself.
The more I learn and see, the more in awe of you, I am.
The magnitude of who You are is not lost on me, nor the privilege of knowing that, despite You being The God who created Heaven & Earth, You care enough about me to take care of the smallest of details for me.
You have taught me to invite you along and include you in my every-waking moment, and I find that everything is better in my life because I have chosen to center all things around you.
We truly do have the exact relationships we wish to have, and while there are moments in which I would absolutely change some of the relationships and even the people, who surround me in this season, I would never trade You for anything or anyone else.
Thank You for teaching me how to do this, how to walk by the hand with You, as Your beloved child, every hour of every day.
I do not wish to have any standing appointments that takes priority over You, in my life.
There is no interest, no hobby, no form of entertainment that can or should come before You in my life.
Thank You for teaching me that, and breaking me off all of those things that distracted me and kept me from You.
I have never experienced this type of relationship.
I could not have even dreamed this could be possible.
I believed You to be distant.
I believed You to be cold and uncaring.
I believed You to be too busy for the big things in my life, and nonexistent for the small things.
I believed that I was destined to walk this painful life alone, just struggling until my dying day, but You are none of those things, and that was never Your plan.
I was just rejecting You.
I believed things of my own creation, I had inherited fears that did not belong to me.
I needed to make the time, and put the effort to get to know You, for You, not who everyone else, who also did not know You, said You were.
This time together has been unlike any experience I’ve ever had before, nor could I put into words what a humbling privilege is to be able to draw closer, and grow my roots deeper into You.
I am so incredibly thankful for all that You are, all that You do, all that You give, all that You and only You make possible.
I’m thankful for these lessons on the importance of You above all else in my life.
You have been so faithful, so present Jesus. I never in my life want to sabotage my walk with You nor do I ever want to go back to who I was.
Thank You for taking the time to guide me down this painful yet liberating road in which You are all I need. I have been stripped of all the priorities that were not priorities at all.
How can something that doesn’t bring me closer to You be more important than You?
Nothing is more important than You.
No.
There’s no going back, and I am eternally grateful to You for Your steady presence every day. For You, Jesus, Your blood, Your love, have me this possible.
I am here for You and because of You.
Thank You.
