So I’ll Cherish the Old Rugged Cross

So much of my days have been spent thinking about how hard this semester is. I keep wanting what I don't have and I just realized that I've missed what's right here right now.

I keep looking for love and acceptance in others; I keep burying myself with activities so I don't have to hear myself think.

When all this time, all I ever needed was God.

All this time He has been there, patiently waiting. He has met me at my most vulnerable moments; He has brought comfort when I was so sure I would collapse.

This sense of emptiness within me isn't there so that I would look for things to fill it with; He wants to fill that void.

Nothing in this world could even come close to completing me like He can.


 

"I will cling to the old rugged cross,
and exchange it someday for a crown."
