All In



"All In" ~Lifehouse

Very quickly, cuz i gotta do homework, but when I first heard this song, I really liked it =].

There was one week this past month where I felt so tight with God, so in-tune, so caught up in Him; fell harder than a landslide x]. And there were times during that week, where I couldn't sense His presence as clearly, and I could feel this desperate need and thirst for him. That line, "I spent a week away from you last night" really resonates with that feeling.

Sometimes I think we need to keep reminding ourselves how much we really need, want, relationship with Him.
"I want it...
I want it...
I want it...
Yeah, I want it..."

I want this love for God, this relationship with God, is SO worth it. It fills me up to my fullest, gives me purpose and direction, peace and joy, salvation and hope, etc etc. I want it, I want it, I want it...do I want it enough to go "all in" for Him? how 'bout for life?

I want it...I want it...I want it...I want it...I want it...

Haha, lately with school and colleges, I've been drawing away from God; I didn't know why but I kept trying to mend our relationship. I didn't know though, where to start in the relationship. But I think a part of the reason was I was getting content. I didn't feel needy, so there was no motivation for me to pursue a relationship with Jesus. And I realized how arrogant I had been for thinking I didn't need Jesus' grace. Hearing this song humbles me, reminds me that I am human. It makes me want to want him.
Thanks for sharing

Ironically, i feel the same way, Annie. x]. I also don't know where I stand with my relationship with God. Like Tim, I really want God! I want it so badly! Man...I've been so numb. A week accumulates to a month and then it just accumulates! I miss God a lot and yet He is here with me. I want to go "all in for life" with God. Thanks Tim!
