You said... you just wanted to know me
really just friends
You said you wanted to know me but I had this feeling deep down — I felt you were lying I’ve heard this story before first, just friends and then, before you blink clarity evaporates in thin air so I said: no, I’m good because I’ve been down that road before we talk a lot about how easy it is for men and women not to be friends while sharing those secret pennies our girl friends find in the corners of our couch cushions we forget the part we play in the storyline to make this happen and maybe that’s why we lie to ourselves that we picture God as just a friend... male, distant, routine when in reality both genders intertwine in his archetypal presence the one who birthed the galaxies in six days also set the Milky Way to guard their way still we raise our hands for others to see but do we raise our lives on the altar? we think prayer is bound to a building but in truth... He never asked to be a Sunday friend not the one who loses their shine once something or someone new enters our periphery not the one we met yesterday and now treat like an old memory we repeat beautiful words out loud settle like puddles in potholes in the end, He'll say: sure you did this for me but in your own strength sure you sang in my name but I never knew you He wants to be... the Lord of our lives not the Lord of... a part of our lives and still He says I want to know you.
Heart Call
High school will teach you a lot about navigating relationships. But projecting those same rules onto a God who wants to really know you can be dangerous.
Where in your life have been keeping God at arm's length?
What can you do differently starting today
to let Him be ‘more than just a friend’?
