YOU ARE GOD

In the darkness a girl cried out,

"GOD WHO ARE YOU!? WHY DO YOU DO THE THINGS YOU DO IN THE WAY THAT YOU DO THEM?"

She felt far away from God lately. For the first time she was asking questions that she had never dared to ask. She was desperate to understand this Creator that she had always worshiped. Who was He REALLY? What did his personality look like? How could she ever have a closer relationship with Him when He was not physical and she was full of sin?

In the darkness she received no answers. No booming voice sounded from heaven. There was silence.....

But the morning came with light streaming through the windows and a familiar song pierced her heart....


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
Even 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 it's sting

Oh, I'm running to your arms,
I'm running to arms
The riches of your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

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 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

Oh, I'm running to your arms
I'm running to arms
The riches of your love
Will always be enough
Nothing compares to Your embrace
Light of the world forever reign

-FOREVER REIGN, HILLSONG


The girl was beginning to get some answers. And suddenly she no longer felt ashamed for questioning. She realized her heart was to truly KNOW God for WHO He is, and there was no shame in that.

"You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart."
JEREMIAH 29:13 (NASB)
