Some songs really hit you the first time you hear them. This song by Cody Carnes is one of them. I’m so grateful for songs that so adequately portray this truth: He is ALL we need. Only Him – It reminds me that just His presence is enough, and if we have Him, we have it ALL, and it is the farthest thing from being lonely.
Jesus wants to go so much deeper with us and be so much more than the benefactor or patron role we box Him into, constantly asking from Him, but never resting in Him, desperate for blessings, but missing The Blessing. How often are we throwing tantrums when our god-designed plan doesn’t line up with His God-designed plan, shaking a proverbial genie in a bottle?
May I never forget that He is the gift, period. He is the blessing, the dream come true, the wish fulfilled. He is the answer, the life, the love. He is the truth, the resting place, the contentment. He is our greatest arrival, and when we reach that place of intimacy with Him, everything and everyone pales in comparison, and we are never the same.
