Good morning and happy Monday. This is one of my favorite older songs from my turning point in life. I've cried over this one many times. It's just the first verse. Well worth listening to. Its called "Still Here Waiting" by Todd Agnew.

It's cold outside
Or is that just the chill I feel inside from standing here
Steeping in my shame
I can't deny
I'm surrounded by the very thing You freed me from
That's why I can't come home

Chorus:
I don't know where I turned around
From chasing what I always found completed me
More than I could dream
I don't know why I can't remain
Safe here where I always came to meet with you
And You always met with me
And You're still here waiting

So how many times have you found yourself right there. See this picture in your head about this song. A meeting is scheduled between you and God, and you don't show. You've done your thing your way instead. You forgot or whatever. I just can't help be see God sitting there heart broken, but nonetheless still waiting. In the chorus we're singing about not knowing why we did what we did. Why we can't just stay right there with Him. Why do we leave the calming ever peaceful presence of God? It's the question of the ages. At some point we make a conscience decision to turn around and walk out of His light and into the darkness we came from. Is it because we're more comfortable there with all out things hidden away from judging eyes of others and even God. Well, we can't hide from God and who cares what everyone else thinks. That was easy to say but it's very hard to do. We've got to find a way to make this happen so that we can live the life He has planned for us. And just like the songs says and the image in your head sees; He's still there waiting. Go to Him. No excuses about not being able to go Home. Ask Him for His forgiveness and then receive it and go live a life working as hard as you can to stay there with Him. In love always. <><
