I promise

Ok I promise to keep this short.

Lord I promised to pray
To do whatever you say
To read the bible everyday

Lord I promised to care
To tell my friends about you
To be an example for others to follow

Lord I promised to be the best Christian the world has ever seen
To never let you down
To do whatever necessary to enter the pearly gates

BUT
Lord I forgot.
I forgot You.

I forgot your taste,
your smell, your touch,
your love

I forgot how it was like to talk to you,
to hear your voice, to
laugh and find
peace
in you

I cannot remember
but I cannot forget

It eats me, bugs me, harasses me
but is that not the beauty of love?

That you will never leave me nor forsake me?


Its not what we do, but who we chase. Its not why because worship needs no reason. Its not when because worship needs no time.

Remember the song "with Christ in the vessel we can smile at the storm?"

Let us be a child once more.
