We have people
that we go to first
with heartache
and anger
and excitement
They are the close ones
who listen to our hearts
And what if
we sought God first
with heartache
and anger
and excitement
That He would be the One
to remind us who we are
when we forget
and listen to lies
That He would be the One
to laugh with us
when all is hilarious
That He would be the One
to mourn with us
when our hearts are broken
That He would be the One
to calm us
when unfairness plagues us
That He would be the One
to be still
with us….
God with us
He is the first
and the best friend
we will ever have
And we will hear
the most perfect response
from Him alone

So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that’s where the action is. See things from His perspective.
Your old life is dead. Your new life, which is your real life—even though invisible to spectators—is with Christ in God. He is your life. When Christ (your real life, remember) shows up again on this earth, you’ll show up, too—the real you, the glorious you. Meanwhile, be content with obscurity, like Christ.
– Colossians 3:1-4 (MSG)
So don’t be afraid. I am here, with you; don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, help you. I am here with My right hand to make right and to hold you up.
– Isaiah 41:10 (VOICE)
For the Lord your God is living among you. He is a mighty savior. He will take delight in you with gladness. With His love, He will calm all your fears. He will rejoice over you with joyful songs.”
– Zephaniah 3;17 (NLT)
