Elizabeth Grace at 18 months |
Not long ago while at target my newly adopted 18 mo daughter caught site of her father. With abandon she threw up her arms and ran toward him. However, before she made it to him she lost her balance and fell hitting her head on the floor. Her father picked her up kissed her forehead and gave her comfort before setting her back down.
The next Sunday we sang this song at church
Give me one pure and holy passion
Give me one magnificent obsession
Give me one glorious ambition for my life
To know and follow hard after you
To know and follow hard after you
To grow as your disciple in your truth
This world is empty pale and poor
Compared to knowing you my Lord
Lead me on and I will run after you
Lead me on and I will run after you
I am just like my daughter I run after my Father with abandon and fall. I get hurt and my faith is bruised. My Father is always there to pick me up and comfort me so that I can continue to run.
Lord til the race is finished may I follow hard after you. Amen!
