I WANT TO BE CENTRAL in your entire being.

The GOD of the entire universe wants to live and be central in our lives. What a privilege that He should even desire to be among us let alone living in us.

Our job is to invite Him in and keep our focus on Him the best that we can. Of course there will be distractions that rise up, but it's in our response that signifies His importance in our lives.

There's one song from probably back in the 90's that has always resonated with me and this day's passage brought it back to the surface of my thoughts. Audio Adrenaline singing Rest Easy.


One more mile 'til I lay rest 
I have put myself through this rigid test 
But the mile has never ended no distance has been gained 
I do not see greatness I wanted to obtain 
Where is my embrace from the race that I have run? 
I have kept a steady pace but still I have not won 


Chorus 
Rest easy 
Have no fear 
I love you perfectly 
Love drives out fear 
I'll take your burden 
You take my grace 
Rest easy 
In my embrace 


I am such a sinner I fear my evil ways 
I fear my imperfection I fear my final days 
I just want to take control and snap this rusty chain 
Drop my heavy burden it seems to be in vain 


Repeat chorus 


Bridge 
I am not a bold man even though I want to be 
I am just a dreamer with a timid history 
Scared of confrontations I fume all through the night 
The world has it's hold on me and I just want to fly 
The sky, the sky is open wide 
But I can't fly 'til I step aside 


Chorus ii 
Rest easy 
Have no fear 
I love you perfectly 
And perfect love drives out fear 
I'll take your burden 
You take my grace 
Rest easy 
In my embrace 
Rest easy, rest easy 
Rest easy, in my embrace 
Rest easy
