..and the only time
the only time I ever saw Him run
Was when He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said “My son’s come home again”
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said,
“Son do you know I still love you?”
He caught me by surprise when God ran
… I saw Him run to me, He took me in His arms
…He ran to me and then I ran to Him
These are lines from the song “When God Ran” For the past days, since the start of the year, nothing significant happened to me nor extraordinary but I feel so loved by the Lord. I am just so thankful for everything. I am not rich, I don’t have a lot of savings in the bank, I don’t have the best computer (My laptop turned blue screen four times in the last 40 days), I don’t have the best gadgets in the world, I don’t have the nicest facial feature a woman could have (in fact my face has a lot of imperfections, impairments, and limitations), I don’t have the best body to flaunt, I am already in the marrying stage yet I am not in a relationship, I live far from the people I love most – my family. Everyday I still have to decide that I will pray and resist any form of temptation. I dream of getting better everyday. I am a work in progress. I am far from being perfect. But…
I have enough
He takes the 99 steps while I take only a step. He doesn’t pause, He walks and runs in excitement to hold me. He never stop coming closer to me. Lord thank you for loving me so much! You caught me by surprise again and again!
“Lord thank you for your sweet embrace, thank you for not letting go of me, thank you for waiting for me, thank you for not looking at my impairments, my imperfections, my limitations, my failures, my doubts, my fears, thank you for still choosing to reside at the very core of my heart, thank you for filling me with your love, thank you Lord. You are great! You are God!
