BECAUSE YOU ARE

Exodus 3:14  ".....I AM WHO I AM...."

Today, Lord, has been a day of wonder.  This morning began as I awoke to worship music that the Holy Spirit used to draw me up with praises to Your Holy Name. Not wanting for anything, just worshiping You because You love me so, and because I love You.  It was hard not to just stay in that place of beauty, Your presence, so wonderful.  But....yes, Father, I know, You knew I had to go to work.  It is because of Who You are, my Lord, that I have this thing about not being late, of always being on time, not be be anything but a good steward of the time You give me.

Your peace surrounded me all day, even as busy as I was, I was resting in You.  You are my ...... Lord, the words are a stumbling block to me tonight.  I am having a difficult time finding the words precious enough to glorify Your Name.  Are there words that will come close to explaining Your greatness, because You Are Great.  Are there words that describe Your glory; because You Are Glorious. 

I just know that today, as so many days, Your very Being, has overwhelmed me, even right now, I find it difficult to think of anything but Your Glorious Presence that is with me.  I'll glorify Your Name, my God.  With all that is in me, with all that You give me, I will return it to You in praise.  I have missed so much, my Lord, the years long past.  I have missed so much time of being so close to You, I never want to be away from You.  I never knew what true joy and happiness was until I was immersed with Your Presence. 

Because You Are my Master, I want to spend each day working, doing what You would have me do, following where You lead me.  Because You Are my King, I will bow down and worship You for all my life.  Because You Are my Lord, I humbly desire to sit at Your feet and listen to You, always.    Because You Are my God, I can walk in Your gardens of beauty in the cool of the evening with You. Because You Are my Savior, I can walk in righteousness and freedom.  Because You Are my Jesus, I have Your Holy Spirit to be with me always, guiding me, showing me the ways to please You, keeping me in You always.

Because You Are....because You Are my Everything, I have life abundant, I have life eternal.  Always to be with You, because You Are...Your Word is the same today, tomorrow as it was yesterday.  Because You Are  means You love me as much today as You did before I was born and You Are going to bring me to the plan You designed for my life. 

Because You Are....is why my heart is filled with peace and my entire being flowing with joy.  Because You Are.
