I'm in a place of life where things seem to be changing a lot lately. I'm in the last week of classes of my college career. New and exciting things are happening with even more on the horizon for the next year. I've been thinking lately about how easy it is to cling to things and define myself by them (the people around me, my possessions, my talents, my creativity)when in reality those things don't and shouldn't define me. Any good in them is simply a reflection of the One who does define me.
Earlier this school year we sang a song at church that I'm adopting as my prayer. Because despite the many wonderful things in my life, I want none of them to define me only Christ. But here's the thing: I don't usually live like that. Though on my better days I'm more convinced of that desire, I know that I get sucked into lesser things all the time. Thus, it will be my prayer until I'm consumed in His tangible glory and presence.
Everything by Tim Hughes
God in my living
There in my breathing
God in my waking
God in my sleeping
God in my resting
There in my working
God in my thinking
God in my speaking
Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything
Be my everything
God in my hoping
There in my dreaming
God in my watching
God in my waiting
God in my laughing
There in my weeping
God in my hurting
God in my healing
Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
You are everything
Christ in me
Christ in me
Christ in me the hope of glory
Be my everything
