What's your pill??

Sometimes it can be very easy to feel just like P!nk in her song, ‘like a pill’...

I think I’ll get outta here... Where I can run just as fast as I can,
To the middle of nowhere to the middle of my frustrated fears
and I swear you’re just like a pill
stead of making me better you keep making me ill...

There can be so many things that we want to avoid. Things that we don’t want to deal with or don’t want to face up to. Or else we look for the answers in the wrong places and what we think is our ‘pill’ is in fact doing us so much more harm than we can ever imagine. Then we just drop it all and run...anywhere...as far as we can, try to escape, leave it all behind and hope it just disappears.

But there are 2 things we cannot run away from. The first is our own mind, as much as we try to blank it out or where you run to those things will always be there in your mind, it goes with you wherever you go. The second is God. There is no where we can go in all of creation to hide from God, no rock we can hide under that He will not find us...He created it and knows every inch of all creation and He knows every part of us. Including our mind!

So if we are going to run...it should be to God. Only He can satisfy...

No one but You Lord can satisfy the longing in my heart, Nothing I do Lord can take the place of drawing near to You. Only You can fill my deepest longing,
Only You can breath in me new life,
Only You can fill my heart with laughter,
Only You can answer my hearts cry,
Only You...

Father I love You, come satisfy the longing in my heart,
Fill me, overwhelm me, until I know Your love deep in my heart. I long for You, I yearn for You and I’m calling out, I’m crying out for You.

Cry out to Him and let Him come to us as He wants to, let Him fill us with cleansing living waters as He fulfills our every need, our every longing...nothing can take the place of what He can do in our life...if we just let Him in, surrender what we cannot control to His mighty love and grace.
