Synchronized Swimmer

Oh Lord, today I want to sing LOUD and dance hard, that song that You and I share.....that song that You sing over me when the times are hard & rough, that beautiful melody that you hum in my ear as we swirl & twirl through this life......during the times of infinite bliss, as I am wrapped up in Your arms & we commune together, You and I.

Lord, I can hear our song echo in my soul, even during those times when we seem distant. Yes, Lord, I know during these times, that it is not You that has moved, but me, and still You wait, even yearn for me to turn back to You. You woo me to Yourself. Lord, You send birds to sing sweetly to me. You send the wind and the rhythmic rain drops. You paint brillant displays of magnificent sunrises and sunsets. I am surrounded by the sights, sounds, smells of Your creation everyday, every moment. You love well, completely & perfectly. Lord, that we could shadow that love to others in this life. Lord, that we could learn to love more unconditionally, more fully, more richly and more often. Fill me to overflowing with Your incredible compassion for others. God, I do not want to be a reservoir, but a channel of these gifts and this love that You pour over me. I want to share splashes of joy with a brother or sister who is deeply saddened and burdened. I want to share Your flood of hope with those that are discouraged. Lord, I want to be a synchronized swimmer with the River Jesus, so in tune with You, with Holy Spirit, that I can know when to move, exactly at the moment when You say move, and stay when You say stay. That I could flow in that water dance, and in rhythm with the Body of Christ.

Go God!!!

God's love & mine,
Lauren
