Abundance

my Father in heaven is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. Which is funny to say, since I wouldn't have happened if it weren't for Him.

I've been so swept away by the love of Jesus, it's hard to put into words. He is all I am about, all I am living for. I would have no purpose, no drive if it weren't for Him.

As the months have gone on I have felt so incredibly close to God, more so every single day. There were multiple points this weekend I felt God wrap His arms around me, and I felt more safe and comfortable than I ever have.

Forever Reign by Hillsong is a song we focused on this weekend. I had heard the song before, but hearing it at Blast definitely helped it stand out to me even more. Every line in that song is amazing, so instead of just writing what I like, I'll just post them all. I've never sang a song that felt more like I was speaking directly to my Father.

We have an awesome God. We are lucky to be able to run to His arms, to feel His embrace, to feel His love, His peace, His joy. I really don't know how in the world I would get through even a day of this life without Him.




You are good, You are good
when there's nothing good in me
You are love, You are love
on display for all to see

You are light, You are light
when the darkness closes in
You are hope, You are hope
You have covered all my sin

You are peace, You are peace
when my fear is crippling
You are true, You are true
ever in my wandering

You are joy, You are joy
You're the reason that I sing
You are life, You are life
in You death has lost its sting

You are more, You are more
than my words will ever say
You are Lord, You are Lord
all creation will proclaim

You are here You are here
in Your presence I'm made whole
You are God You are God
of all else I'm letting go

Oh, I'm running to Your arms, I'm running to Your arms
the riches of Your love will always be enough
nothing compares to Your embrace, Light of the world, forever reign

my heart will sing no other name, Jesus, Jesus
