im anxious to go, but i don't want to stay. i want to travel, but i don't know where to go. i'm restless, but need rest. i'm out of breath, and catching it. i'm letting go, just to hold on. i'm being relieved, to be challenged again.
it's the contradictions of this life i struggle with the most. this perfect balance jesus found, i'm still looking for; the magnificent peace of his love, i'm still being completed by; the beauty of his hope, im still praying to see clearly. life has this way of catching me off guard, and it's only when i'm blindsided that i see.
i took communion this sunday, and i whispered to my lord - 'it's by your blood, i breathe; it's by your body, i live; it's because of your sacrifice, i know the fullness of each day and it's because of your love, i am revived.'
in each quiet moment with my savior, balance is found.
it's my squinting eyes in the morning waking to new mercies.
it's the security jesus chooses to wrap me in when i'm embraced.
it's the windows down singing freely to the enriched unseen.
it's the shadows leaping off of trees onto the sidewalk.
it's the conversations over breakfast.
it's the old man's passion learned over years.
it's the phone calls made just to hear a voice.
these are the places my balance is found,
and i can't help but thank the god who has called me.
