Runnin

Your love is better than life

I can’t even wrap my mind around it

One day here in Your house

Better than a thousand elsewhere

Your love keeps on runnin, runnin

Keeps on runnin after me

Keeps on runnin, runnin

Keeps on runnin after me

Busy. Tired. Overworked. Running around.

Do you feel like those words describe you? If so, you’re not alone. Many of us live in a state of constant motion and unrelenting demand. Once you catch up with one thing, it always seems like another thing is waiting for you. The pulls on our attention feel limitless.

We’re constantly running.

But there’s good news for you today. You can never outrun the presence of God. Goodness, mercy, and love are running after you. God is in constant pursuit of your heart, mind, and attention. He wants all of you.

So, if you’re running and God’s love is running after you, what happens when you stop running? His love catches up.

God is always with us, but our awareness of His presence increases when we slow down, even just for a moment.

This can be your moment. Take a deep breath right now. Pause and soak in God’s presence. There’s nothing like it. Nothing else you’ll do or think about today can refresh you, calm you, or strengthen you like the presence of God.

As you’re running around this week, remember to take pauses for God’s presence. A moment with Him is better than all the others without Him.
