Don't use Me

---

 

 

Don’t use me

Don’t use me up

Don’t lift me high

Then spill the cup

Don’t cry the most gutless help cry and make me think you need me

With hopeless eyes and grieving

With cloudy eyes to seize me

 

Don’t leave me cold

Don’t kill my soul

Don’t lock me up

Then let me go

I see you

And you see me

And I free you

Then you believe me

 

A perfect plan

Still working out

You fall to sleep

I work it out

 

You need me

I love you

You see me

I receive you

 

Don’t try my hope

Then watch me cry

Then leave me down

With precious lies

I need you

To believe me

You need me

To help you

 

You lift me up

You can’t let me down

I wait for you

And you look around

 

You tried every combination to live life and feel life and hold tight, but all that it led you to was confusion and strife. You seek after peace but don’t know you live twice, you live thrice, you live

You give

And I give

And I give life

 

You want me

And I want you

And you feel me

And I fill you

I know you

And you don’t know me

But I heal you 

And you

Need me

And you need me

And I receive me

 

I am

 

me

 

 

 

 

My journey is leading me to make a deeper connection with the Lord.  He shares will me the tendency we have to just call on him when we are in trouble.  We don't realize how often we cause our own trouble by not staying in his presence.  We don't spend time with him as we need to for our spiritual strength.  The Lord has a desire for us to know him.  He has the concern for our soul health and our spirit growth.  He doesn't want us to suffer but he wants us to have an abundant life, beyond materialistic needs. 

 

He wants you to live vibrantly. 

Is not your life more than food and remnant? 

Do we not understand that we want to be happy?

 

The Lord wants to lead us to that happiness.  He wants to lead us to peace.  He is our help,  he is our savior, and he is our peace.  He calls his people back to himself, to be his servants and his witnesses.  I thank God for his call.

 

But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel:

“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;

I have called you by your name; You are Mine.

Isaiah 43:1
