Take Me Home

But keep me feeling lonely.

I've always loved that line. Coming home is always a bittersweet experience. My family really is amazing and I enjoy just being with them. But there's always this strange feeling of lonliness that sets in after a few weeks. It's like I'm not satisfied.

Then the truth hits me. I'm not drawing near to Jesus. He satisfies me. He quenches my thirst for attention and admiration. He encompasses all my desires and my ambitions. In Him I am complete and thriving.

So, I come to You, Jesus. I take Your hand and step away from my pity party. You are near and that's enough. Actually, it's more than enough.

Introspection can be good, especially when it exposes our need for Jesus. I hope that you have a great Christmas with your family and that you come away from it even nearer to God than you were before.
