4 a.m. Thoughts

A couple weeks ago, my friends and I participated in Scripture 66, the reading of the entire Bible through one weekend. We decided to read from 4 to 6 in the morning, and though I was not especially excited at first, I loved it. I was reading through my journal tonight, and I found my thoughts from that morning. This is what God has been teaching me, and he used that early morning to further challenge and woo me. So, here are some thoughts that I've been thinking. :)

Philippians 4:4-9 (Amazing)

Your peace will guard my heart and mind; it goes beyond anything I can understand.

Lead me on and I will run after you.

(An untitled poem)

Hold my hand

Grab it in yours and lead me

Take me through the woods

Through the trees

The falling leaves

Through the darkness

Apart from you

I stumble

I run aimlessly

Through trees

Through the falling leaves

Through the darkness

I long to follow 

I trip

I get lost

You hold my hand

Even in my weakness

You intertwine my fingers in yours

Squeeze tightly

Warmth fills my body

I had to reach for that hand, though

You offered-

I grabbed, accepted

Pursuing your hand

Your heart

I want to know 

And follow hard after you

Forgive my wandering heart

My hand that seeks another

In my self-love

I have become lost

Become greater

Make me less

Hold my hand, dear Jesus

My Romancer

And Pursuer

Leader

I will follow

I want

to want 

to follow

And run after you
