Everything

Today, as we were prayer walking for our upcoming egg hunt and Easter service, a friend recalled something she said to our 3rd-5th graders last week. She told them God is everything. All day I have been thinking this phrase, so this is what has come to mind, and yes, it could easily go on forever....

When Darkness surrounds me
You are the light that chases it away
You are everything

When the burden brings me to the ground
You take the weight and help me stand
You are everything

When my heart is breaking
Your Spirit fills the gap
You are everything

When my tears seem ceaseless
You wipe them away
You are everything

When I feel all alon
You hold me in Your arms
You are everything

When laughter fills my heart
You are smiling with me
You are everything

When music fills my soul
You are my dance partner
You are everything

I am nothing without You
You bring meaning to my life
You are everything

I am learning daily what it means for Christ to be everything. He makes it possible to "be content whatever state I am in." There is no hope outside of Him. It is so easy to fill my life with things other than Him, yet I am never satisfied when I do. My desire is to truly allow Christ to be my everything.
