I'll have NO other.

I will waste my life,
I'll be tested and tried.
With no regrets inside of me,
Just to find I'm at your feet,
Let me find I'm at your feet.

I leave my father's house, and
I leave my Mother.
I leave all I have known, and
I'll have no other.

For I am in love with you,
and there is no cost.
I am in love with you,
and there is no loss.
I am in love with you,
I want to take your name.
I am in love with you,
I want to cling to you, Jesus,
Just let me cling to you, Jesus.

I say goodbye to my father, my mother,
I turn my back on every other lover, and I
Press on, yes I press on.
I say goodbye to my father, my mother,
I turn my back on every other lover, and I press on, yes I press on.

For I am in love with you,
and there is no cost.
I am in love with you,
and there is no loss.
I am in love with you,
I want to take your name.
I am in love with you,
I want to cling to you, Jesus,
just let me cling to you, Jesus,
I want to cling to you...

How freaking beautiful? To let Jesus be your all. Your only desire just to be close to Him? To learn from Him and grow closer to Him always? I want that for my life. But I'm not stupid enough to think that just because it's because I want it that it'll just happen with a snap of my fingers. I have to WORK for it. I have to give and take, good and bad, I have to jump into His teachings and life. Just like any other relationship you can't ignore it and expect the other person to draw close to you. You have to invest your time and effort. Saying "I love you" isn't enough, you have to back it up with action.

So many women want to be "so lost in God that a man would have to seek Him to find her" but how can you expect a man after God's own heart if you aren't truly lost in God yourself? I want this to be true of my life, I don't think I'm there yet... I don't even think I'm close. I don't think I'll ever fully be there. There is always room for growth, even if you've been a Christian your whole life. My Great-Grandma is 95 years old, and does a devo every single day. She has used the same devotion book for YEARS, it is quite literally falling apart. She doesn't know everything, she learns something new every time. How amazing. She has been tested and tried. She clings to Jesus.

I want to cling to Jesus. I want to learn more about Him every single day. I wonder what his favorite food was, would he drink Americanos or Chai Lattes? Maybe I'll have to wait til heaven for those questions. But there is so much i can learn now. I just have to care enough about him to make time for Him in my life, to hang out with Him, to bond, to be in love... just like I would have to do with a physical person. I want to sit at His feet and just lavish my love and adoration on Him. I hope I can be contagious with this. He's not boring, he's dangerous, thrilling, adventurous, strong, rebellious, loving, good, and he just wants to hang out with me while I drink my coffee. How cool?
