"Just one day of intimacy with you is like a thousand days of joy rolled into one! I’d rather stand at the threshold in front of the Gate Beautiful, ready to go in and worship my God, than to live my life without you in the most beautiful palace of the wicked." ~ Psalm 84:10 TPT
God, the most extravagant longings of my heart cannot be satisfied by anyone but you. You are my strength, my motivation, my reason for living. Tether me to your love. Your kindness has led me to repentance. Wrap me in your arms and look me in the eye—nothing is hidden from you.
Your presence is a shield of protection around me—I will rest there always. Thank you for your gift of grace. For filling me with relentless desire to know you. I’d rather stand at the gate that leads to you than to stand in beautiful palaces apart from you. Nothing compares to being near you. No one can match your power. No one rivals your love.
Fill my life with the brilliance of your glory. Illuminate my paths with your radiant splendor, so I will never lose my way. I lack nothing when I’m with you. You provide more than enough. Your faithfulness is euphoric; you never fail me. God, you are the answer to every prayer and I will trust you forever.
