Be Thou My Vision

This life comes at us fast. The push and pull. Do and Don't. Yes and No. Here and There. And everything else in between.

There is so much to think about. Oh so many wonderful, horrible, exciting, meticulous, beautiful things to ponder. 

So many... Dreams to dream. Adventures to conquer. Fears to overcome. Hallelujahs to cry. Statements to declare. Songs to sing. Questions to uncover. Thoughts to sort. Disappointments to heal. Stories to write.

There are so many dimensions to this life we live. So many seasons. So many circumstances.

Everything we know becomes past. The unknown becomes the present. The future is a mystery.

And yet, as we lie here and think, and question, and hope, and understand, we come to a new perspective. That God is in the little things. God is in the big things. God is. And that is only the beginning.  

We slowly grasp the possibility that there is more. 

"There is no higher worth, in all the earth, but to love you. 

 No greater call, no life at all, but to love You." 

{Christy Nockels} 

We come to the realization that in reality, this seemingly big life is nothing more than a small, fragile object in the hands of our Father. 

So Yes. Take in this life. Make the most of it. Live it to its full extension. Love. Be loved. Grow deeper. Have integrity.  But be something more. 

"Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;

Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art

Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,

Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light."

God give us eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart that's willing.
