Zion

When I was younger I knew I was loved.

I danced without fear. I did things without thinking about anything anyone else would think. When you know you're loved... Nothing else matters.

Something happens as we grow. We start to wear the complaints and views others have of us. But the thing is, "others" don't know all about you. Only the one who made you knows all the ins and outs and the ways you work best. We spend too much time checking to see if we are doing things right according to other people, seeking approval from those around us, when the one who can give us the love we need is a call away.

There is a sense of adventure in all of us. There are dreams and visions we all hold on to.

The greatest adventure lies with the Creator, recreating the world around us...
Holding onto to hope for others,
Showing them their value,
Bringing light to the darkness.

"Do not fear, Zion; do not let your hands hang limp.
The Lord your God is with you,
The Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
In His love He will no longer rebuke you,
but will rejoice over you with singing."
-Zephaniah 3:16-17

// Delight in me,
You delight in me.
Your beauty overwhelms,
You stir the seas
Write on the skies
Cover the mountaintops with snow,
And you delight in me.

I am loved,
And I am nothing without this love...
Nothing without You, Lord.
You have transformed me and all the ways I thought things were.
You have made this heart to dance,
These burdens flee,
This mouth to praise.
You, O Lord, have done a work in me.
Now I will forever be
Yours. //
