On the Lake Under the Stars

I can hear the voices of children laughing and shrieking as they chase each other around the lawn. 60's music plays softly, the kind you just want to sway to. I walk away from all the noise, the laughs, the voices, and I begin to walk towards the dock.

A cool evening breeze plays with my hair. The stars overhead seem to dance on tip-toe. The waves slash against the dock. Everything around me seems to play a melody or harmony to some sweet love song.

It is just You and me tonight.

All my fears and thoughts slip away with the wind. And I am left just sitting in your love. I begin to worship, my hands held high, every part of me surrendered to Your goodness. I'm tired of trying to do things on my own. I'm tired of filling myself up with silly idols. I'm tired of being tossed and turned by every thought, every want.

So here I am in your presence. I'm done resisting, I'm done fighting. You can have all of me.

Thank you for nights filled with your grace. Thank You for stars that remind me of how powerful You are, that You are the star-breather, and at the same time my soul-lover.
