Amidst my hasty desire.
And utter nonsense.
With Your help,
I can push past the madness,
past obliging my addictions,
just to show you that I love you first.
I’ve put you first!
“Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you…”Psalm 63:3.
How did I forget that you trump everything that I want?
Your love is better than life…
that means better than retail.
Better than eating until I’m stuffed.
Better than chocolate and sweets.
Better than indulging in my crazy hormones.
Better than too much of my beloved SLEEP.
Better than my “No” to your “Yes.”
So even though I try to escape the discomfort and fill that void,
it’s really you I’m after, after all…isn’t it?
It’s really you that I really need.
Now if only I could remember that—
in the frenzy.
