I'll Show You How To Live

So come with Me
I’ll show you life
Even better than this
Come with Me
I’ll show you love
You didn’t know could exist
Better than your first crush
Better than your first kiss
I’ll show you how to live

Think up the absolute best, most amazing moment in your entire life. Think of a time when you were flying. When every possible thing was right and you felt like your heart was going to burst within your chest because you were that full of life.

Can't compare.

What was the worst valley you ever trudged through? What was the single most horrifying sight you ever laid eyes on? Where did you fall so hard and fast that you figured it might be the end of you, and did failure, guilt, loneliness, fatigue or fear ever sit so hard on you that you felt literal suffocation setting in?

Not applicable.

What I mean to say is that I'm promising from experience that the very best moments of my life in human terms can't begin to hold a candle to those moments and hours and days that I really start to see the Savior - understand who he is, watch him working in quiet, amazing ways all around me, know his approval, his smile, his care, his love when I wake up and when I lay down at night. It's real. It's not just enough - it's indescribable.

And are there valleys? Yes. Deeper valleys than a heart wants to imagine. But falling fast only ends in strong arms. Failure, guilt, loneliness, fatigue and fear lose their balance and fall away in the reasoning of unreasonable love. Forever love.

He's shown me how to live real. And from what I've seen, I'm only beginning to understand that I haven't yet scratched the surface of the mountain of all he is.

I'm ready for more. Breathless anticipation ready. Not one thought of looking back ready.

Lead on.
