He will pursue you!

Every now and then I get a little wrapped up in myself and I can't see you
clearly.
Every now and then I get a little overwhelmed by the world and I can't hear you
calling.
But you have always told me
You will always be there.
You are only one prayer away.

Every now and then
You whisper peace to me
With your tender words
Unexpectedly
When I'm at the end
Taking my last breath
Drowning in my pride
I've got nothing left
I can see it coming around the bend
Yeah, You're taking me
to that place again
Every now and then.

Every now and then I get a little tired of my reflection and I want to break the
mirror.
Every now and then I get blinded by my own perception and I need to see you
clearer.
But you have always told me
You will always be there.
You are only one prayer away.

Every now and then
You whisper peace to me
With your tender words
Unexpectedly
When I'm at the end
Taking my last breath
Drowning in my pride
I've got nothing left.
I can feel it coming around the bend
Yeah, You're taking me
to that place again.
Every now and then.

In my journal, I titled the page "Unfortunately, this one is all too true too".
I had written some other lyrics and talked to Him about those - some good - this
one I felt wasn't. I wrote the first verse and the chorus, and then I wrote:

"I say unfortunately cuz I ought to stay there - but I could also say
fortunately - because of YOU. Because YOU pursue me - cuz you break the puter,
or burn out the bulb, or change my ISP password. :) You do indeed come to me,
pursue me, love me - in spite of myself - my selfishness. So as sorry as I am
that the first verse is true - gladder am I that the chorus is also true. Thank
You!"

So - to Steve, yes, sometimes the passion we first feel fades. Most times I
guess - but it can return. One way is to find new believers, that will ignite
you! But another neat thing is HE is not content with that either, and He will
pursue you. Also - a dry time does not necessarily mean He isn't close. It
isn't Mt top all the time - and that is ok. No relationship is - He has his
purpose in the valleys too.

And to those of you who have been here several weeks (like since this group
started) you know how low I had been, and this song came so true. He came to me
where I was, He ministered to me - through this CD we really didn't have the $
for, through His Spirit, through this group, through my devotionals, through a
book - all drawing me to spend time with Him. He did make my computer quit
working at night so I had to shut it down. This isn't the first time. I have
been spending more regular time with Him - and the peace I have now is a feeling
I cannot describe. It is not every moment of every day - Sat. was incredible,
Sun. I was SO tense. Sun nite I prayed for the peace and today it was here - so
real. I need HIS peace, and He is SO faithful to hear our prayers and meet us
and minister to us just where we are.

So while the first verse is true - and maybe it is true of you too - the chorus
is true also. He loves you and He will not leave you alone - He will pursue
you!
