"I've tasted and I've seen and I've realized |

that nothing else matters and nothing else compares to your eyes

I've tasted and I've seen and I've realized that 

Every treasure this world offers me will never suffice

Jesus, You're the One that my heart is locked onto."

Basically this is describes part of what the Lord has been showing me lately. I've had a glimpse of who He is and nothing compares to Him and being in His presence. He is bringing me into a season of discontentment with the world and the things of this world only to find rest and satisfaction in Him. He's showing me who He wants me to be. What He has for me is far greater than anything of this world and so much better than my own plans. He's reshaping my way of thinking and changing me to be more like Him.
He's wrecking me and I just want to know Him.

A Week In Solitude

Who we are in the Father is the epitome of blessings.

I spent this past week in solitude. Just me and the Father. Okay, let's keep it real, I only spent four legitimate days in solitude. Solitude is tough to maintain unless you are in the forest alone somewhere. But in those days where it was just me and the Lord, I learned a lot.

In that time away from all of my distractions, I learned how to spend time with Him. He reset my gaze; my focus. He gave me a glimpse of who I am to Him and who He wants me to be in Him. He showed me how to pray and how to worship. He took away my bad fruit and replaced it with sweet fruit.

He told me, "Who you are in Me is the epitome of all blessings." When I am living in His will, I am blessed. No matter if His will is for me to be in constant trial and change, or if His will is for me to give something up that I really enjoy doing. If He wants me to give something up, it's because He wants to give me something better than what I had or what I was doing. If I live in His will - He blesses me.

I stand alone in Him. I am whole in Him. All that matters in my life is serving Him and pleasing Him. I live to serve and advance His kingdom. I live to minister to His beloved ones. I carry it on my back.
