What legacy do you wish to make?

The entire set of lyrics from Hillsong United's song "The Fathers Heart" I find powerful, however I was particularly taken in by the following phrase:

"There's no other who can love me like You do
And forever I keep running back to You"

What fools we are to run after power, success, friendships, satisfaction from only a relationship, approval from men. Do these things not just stay for a while and then run away from you? Yet, I am taken in by them, day after day and week after week. I keep believing them. There is a high for a short period, but they are not there to stay with you for the long haul. But there is one who not only promises to be there with you for the long haul, but has already proven that he will do so by dying for you.

Lord, this is a prayer for my strength and my flesh are weak:

There's no other who can love me like You do
And forever I keep running back to You"

And snippets of more that stand out to me:

"When the walls close in around me
Let Your glory light the darkness of my night
...
May I walk with You by faith and not by sight
...
Greater love I have not found it
Oh by mercy You have eased this troubled mind
Open hearted I will search and I will find

Humble king You go before me
..
There's no other who can love me like You do
And forever I keep running back to You

Confession of Sin

This was the confession of sin reading that we had at church today and was something I enjoyed. It is adapted from Augustine's Confession, I. v-vi; VII, iv.

Our soul is like a house, small for You to enter, but we pray that You will enlarge it. It is in ruins, but we ask You to remake it. It contains much that You will not be pleased to see; this we know and do no hide. But, to whom can we cry except to You? Forgive us, O Lord. Cleanse us from our sins, O Lord, and our secret sins. What wretches we are! In your mercy, Lord our God, tell us what You are to us. "Say you our souls, I am your salvation" (Ps. 35:3). Come, O Lord, and stir our hearts. Call us back to Yourself. Kindle Your fire in us and carry us away. Be our fire and our sweetness. Let us love You and hasten to Your side. In Jesus name, Amen.
