break it down until it's broke down!

"As the night-time shined like day it saw my sorry face and hair a mess
But it liked me best that way... besides, how else could I confess?
When I looked down like if to pray,Well, I was looking down her dress... good God!
Please, catch for us the foxes in the vineyard... the little foxes."

God is good. I'm so glad that it's finally starting to sink in that I don't have to impress Him, and that I don't have to impress anyone else either for that matter. He loves and I respond with obedience because I love Him too. He fills me with His love and it overflows into every part of my life and (hopefully) into other people too. I'm not talking about fake piety, I've done and did that. "Look at how humble I am! look!" haha. No one is looking, thank God! If they were, maybe I never would have had the foolishness of it all revealed to me. I think some people look at our relationship with God as an "adding to..." like, you can act the same, and do the same things that you used too, and just have God in addition to those things. I think of it more as a "taking off of..." We are who we are, we continue to do and be who we are, and one by one, or for some, all at once, God exposes all of the things we are bound too and offers us himself in their stead for the rest of our lives. He takes off all the pretense that we coat ourselves in to protect all the hurt and divorce from Him we hide inside. He wants us to be like Jesus Christ, the true man, and to walk naked and unashamed in front of Him. The more I think about it, the more I realize how unlived my life has been thus far. This is it! THIS IS IT!! The truth! The pearl of great price! The treasure in the field that you bury and sell all other things for!!!
