In His Arms

Jesus, there's no place I'd rather be than in Your arms.

I find safety in Your secret place.
I find gentleness in Your touch.
I find love in Your eyes.
I find direction in Your light.
I find wisdom in Your truth.
I find joy in your approval.
I find peace in your voice.

Why would I ever want to leave Your embrace? Nothing could compare to all I find in You. No lure could be strong enough to convince me anything could be better than knowing You. No counterfeit or substitute could ever come close.

I remember someone once said that sin is us trying to meet a legitimate need in an illegitimate way. And the closer I get to You the more I think they were right. Because when I have You, I find that I have everything I need. You alone can provide the answer to my neediness. Anything else is an unthinkable decoy.

Draw me closer, Jesus. I want to be so close to You that no space can be seen between us. Let this world fade away, and let me be completely surrounded by You.
