"Whom have I in heaven but You?
And besides You, I desire nothing on earth. (Psalm 73:25 NASB)"
God has been allowing me to be completely and totally stripped of my fiancée this week and He is showing me just how absolutely priceless she is in every aspect of my life. He is reminding me of how much I not only desire and want to see her on a daily basis, but also how much I depend on her for things in my life. The thing is though, I don't need her. See, that may sound mean or harsh, but that's something I've been having to cope with. I want her so much that it feels like a need, but all I truly need and will ever need is God.
I may feel weak and exhausted and even like a failure so many days, but ultimately like its says in the very next verses of Psalms: "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, That I may tell of all Your works. (Psalm 73:26, 28 NASB)"
I just want to be nearer to Him, so near that I am totally and completely satisfied in Him because I am touching the hem of His garment.
Draw near to the Lord. That's all I know how to do. He will always be everything we need.
Amen Aaron! Well said
