Love this poem, and its so true. It's a good reminder that I think we too often need. WAY too often I find myself in this place. But God, through His Word (and music), brings me back to Him, and says, "Hey I'm all you need. Delight in Me, and I will give you the desires of your heart. You can't find your desires, happiness, or peace anywhere else. I am ALL you need." And lately I've been finding that our in incredible ways!!
One by one He took them from me,
All the things I valued most,
until I was empty-handed;
Every glittering toy was lost.
And I walked earths highways, grieving,
In my rags and poverty.
Till I heard His voice inviting,
"Lift your empty hands to Me!"
So I held my hand toward heaven,
And He filled them up with a store
Of his own transcendent riches,
Till they could contain no more.
And at last I comprehended
With my stupid mind and dull,
That God COULD not pour His riches
Into hands already full! ~Olivia~
Ps. 37:4
Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart."
