God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.

“Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” -Psalm 73:25-26- “I say to myself, ‘The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for Him.’” - Lamentations 3:24 -

the throne of my heart
has and incompetent leader without You
i look to You for
*the love
of You the peace to silence all the noise
of You to bring tranquility to all the scattered thoughts
of You I learn to think of You and not of me*
to go deep into You
until i lose who I used to be
with You i can be everything You intended me to be
and it's in this sacred space
where i lay my ability to be anything without You
where i lay my preconceived notions about you
i forget about me to remember life is about You
to remember i live for Your smile
to remember i live for Your smile
more than i live to please the crowd
make me like water
see through me
see You through me
nothing left of me to see
cleanse me
immerse me in purity
wash me of iniquity
help me to choose You
to lavish You with a lifestyle worthy of You
to lavish You with more than words
to lavish You with all that you deserve
i surrender because You are more than my…

*this part i'm not too sure how she intends for it to be written (or if i wrote it right) but when i wrote it out...it seemed more logical this way :)*
