If you stop for a moment

If you stop for a moment 
You will realize that life is not meant to be lived in a hurry
When you slow down enough you will understand 
The ache inside for something deeper than the surface 
Stimulation, distraction- these are the tools of the times
To keep you from taking the time to listen 
And understand 
That the purpose of your existence is in losing yourself 
Not finding yourself 
In letting go
Not holding on
In bowing down to the dust before God 
And allowing Him to overtake your existence

He is a God who wants to become your everything
The very will inside your bones
The voice that carries you across new thresholds
Into the great horizon that is prepared for you
Something you can never step into in your own thinking 
Admit your lack and allow Him to fill you
Do not follow the voice of your own heart 
The whisper of God will lead you away from yourself 
He is Holy and His thoughts are higher.
