Come with all haste. Come to the place of breaking free. The place where we know Him and believe Him. The place where we seek His glory and forget our own. The place where satisfaction comes from the only true satisfier of our souls. The place where we experience His peace no matter what the world may throw our way. And the place where His presence is our constant desire and our daily joy.
Yes, this is my prayer. My eyes filled with tears as I read that because it truly is the cry of my heart but I have not made time to find Him and follow Him. However, this year is different. I’m leaving the to-do lists behind and running headlong into the adventure that awaits in my pursuit of the lover of my soul.
It reminds of something I just saw this morning as a feature on the Today show. They were interviewing a photographer, Murad Osmann, about his current work on the Follow Me Project which is going viral on the internet. This project “immortalizes his travels around the world with his girlfriend in a series of photographs always based on the same model: a first person view, driven by a delicate hand to new discoveries”.
It arrested my attention because it captures the impatience of someone who is longing to experience the beautiful sights and sounds of the world and share that beauty with another, grabbing them by the hand and pulling them into the moment. That image arrested me. I’ve missed so many moments because my head was buried in the tasks. But I want to look up, look around me, and take in the beauty of what God has for me. And, more than anything, I want to take others by the hand and pull them into that experience with me.
