I Need Thee

Life is like a road trip and my eyes are constantly on the road in front of me. Where am I going? What is next? How can I anticipate the bumps and curves on the road?

The problem? When my focus is on the road, I miss the view. Take my eyes off the road for one moment to see this. A sunrise. "A love more faithful than the sun"-phil wickham

I gave myself a heart check up yesterday and the reality was a little harsh. My constant battle with performance for God sometimes consumes. I'm learning to give myself grace in that, I mean Jesus did. But last night the Lord really reminded me of my NEED for Him.
Alot of things are changing and growing in my life. I'm reminding myself not to cruise through life in a numbness. I am living a dream right now. Walking through downtown the other day I couldn't help but cry thinking "is this really MY life?" I am overwhelmed when I process the abundance, richness and blessing. I have done NOTHING to deserve it. If anything my weakness, brokenness and sinfulness have surfaced in the last year (i was blind to it for a long time).

I am grateful for my need. I am nothing without Him. He is my identity, my Rock, my All. My LOVE. My heart is His alone.

Thank you for the reminder Lord. Hold me close as I journey this road of life.

1. I need Thee every hour, most gracious Lord;
   No tender voice like Thine can peace afford.
   • I need Thee, oh, I need Thee;
     Every hour I need Thee;
     Oh, bless me now, my Savior,
     I come to Thee.
2. I need Thee every hour, stay Thou nearby;
   Temptations lose their pow’r when Thou art nigh.
3. I need Thee every hour, in joy or pain;
   Come quickly and abide, or life is vain.
4. I need Thee every hour; teach me Thy will;
   And Thy rich promises in me fulfill.
5. I need Thee every hour, most Holy One;
   Oh, make me Thine indeed, Thou blessed Son.
