there are days when i want the world to revolve around me. when my selfishness rises to the surface of my character. i am aware of it, and i don’t like how it feels, yet it is there. and i can’t seem to shake the desire for my own desires, and the bitterness of them not being fulfilled.
but today, today i choose YOU. i revolve around you, i am all about you. you are what matters. remind me of this, God. keep chasing me and pursuing me. i’m so thankful that you do! help me choose you over me everyday.
“Come Thou fount of every blessing tune my heart to sing Thy grace/Streams of mercy never ceasing call for songs of loudest praise/Teach me some melodious sonnet sung by flaming tongues above/Praise His name! I’m fixed upon it name of God’s redeeming love
Hither to Thy love has blest me Thou hast brought me to this place/And I know Thy hand will bring me safely home by Thy good grace/Jesus sought me when a stranger wandering from the fold of God/He to rescue me from danger bought me with His precious blood
O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be/Let Thy goodness like a fetter bind my wandering heart to Thee/Prone to wander Lord I feel it prone to leave the God I love/Here’s my heart O take and seal it seal it for Thy courts above”
