seek

how urgent the yearning
how desperate the seeking
of one chasing toward the One
yet still such a weakling
that a few paces in, chagrin
as zeal and appeal fade
in favor of dirt and ash,
and the command He bade
is muffled in our memory
forgotten in our fleeing
as sin and shame overbearing
weigh one's eyes from seeing
the upheld promises given
the depth of grace unmerited
nor even begin to grasp
the expanse of blessings inherited
yet how urgent the yearning
how desperate the seeking
when one again chases toward the One
yes, still a weakling,
but strengthened in His grace


"when we love God, we naturally run to Him--frequently and zealously." crazy love

so if we aren't running, does that mean we don't love God? or do we just not love Him enough--more than any other aspect of our life to the point where we can't help but to run to Him?
