I Want You To Stay

Q: What Is so special about Jesus?  A: To me His healing power is the most important aspect of Jesus.
Q: How is He miraculously pouring out His spirit on you?  A: Reminding me that I'm not in control, to worry less, and to constantly lean on Him.
Q: What does the fiery light of Christ in you look like, feel like, smell like at work? at home? at school? on floating tabernacles?  A: It looks patient, kind, direct, capable, loving, wise, and humble.  (Granted I do not embody these characteristics perfectly.)
Q: Can you think of a time where you anticipated the immediate presence of Christ? Where are you feeling an emptiness right now that longs for the light, life, & presence of Jesus?  A: I have, usually when I'm in a dark place and wish to escape my reality. I'm currently longing to feel Jesus in order to be comforted in my life when it comes to my future, and currently the problems I'm having financially in regards to my car. 
Q: How Does it feel to be so passionately loved by the creator?  A: At times it feels miraculous, and at others it makes me feel inadequate like I need to over compensate for His love.

Speaking of how I handle His love the song Stay by Rihanna comes to mind. The lyrics go like this...

All along it was a fever
A cold sweat hot-headed believer
I threw my hands in the air I said show me something
He said, if you dare come a little closer

Round and around and around and around we go
Ohhh now tell me now tell me now tell me now you know

(Chorus) Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay

It's not much of a life you're living
It's not just something you take, it's given
Round and around and around and around we go
Ohhh now tell me now tell me now tell me now you know

(Chorus)

Ohhh the reason I hold on
Ohhh cause I need this hole gone
Funny you're the broken one but i'm the only one who needed saving
Cause when you never see the lights it's hard to know which one of us is caving

(Chorus)
I want you to stay, ohhh

When I first heard this song, I hated it... It just irked me that someone could find so much comfort in a human when in reality we aren't perfect at all. It wasn't until a few days ago I had the line "Funny you're the broken one but I'm the only one who needed saving," stuck in my head did I realize just how true this line is in regards to my relationship with God.  I always regard God as broken because of the fact that He simply loves me, but in the end I'm the only one who needs to be saved.  So I now love this song and constantly think to Jesus, "I want you to stay." :)
