Bareness.....Flourishes

Bareness, drought, empty land...... These are the words that describe me now!!!! Gods presence is not here!!!! I am desperately needing food and water, if I am not nourished I will surely DIE!!! Sluggishness invades my spirit, emptiness creeps into my mind. Shall I sit and do nothing as the world makes war against me. Shall I lay by the side as bareness begins to crack the ground. Oh my soul is in turmoil, my mind makes war against my spirit. Oh father, will you come to my rescue? Come quickly, before I am overtaken. The world drew first blood, and only you can save me. Glory be to God for Jesus Christ my Lord. For he has saved me, he has told me who I am and the war was finished on the cross. All glory to him who sits upon the throne, who by his very word will strike down nations, and bring peace to all His children. Oh the comfort of the cross, the peace that surpasses all understanding. When I am barren you discipline like a loving father and I am never left without hope!!! The joy that overcomes me is more satisfying than anything this world could offer. You give water when there's drought and you flourish the barren land, You nourish the hungry and thirsty. Your fierce passionate love brings me to my knees in worship. As a deer pants for the water so my soul pants for you, and you quench my ever thirsting soul. Praise you for who you are!!!
