I stole this quote from a friends blog, but it was just too good not to re-post. In light of my last post and the longing for some things to never change, I find this quote inspiring. Lord, take us on an adventure with you. Whether storms or blue skies, we are with You.
Disturb us, Lord, when
We are too pleased with ourselves,
When our dreams have come true
Because we dreamed too little,
When we arrived safely
Because we sailed too close to the shore.
Disturb us, Lord, when
with the abundance of things we possess
We have lost our thirst
For the waters of life;
Having fallen in love with life,
We have ceased to dream of eternity.
-Sir Francis Drake

I love you. Thank you for sharing that quote...it's beautiful and frightening at the same time and it sends chills down my spine. Like praying for humility or patience....you always know God will not just give you the character you long for, but grant you crazy opportunities that genuinely humble you and try your patience. Ugh. But God is good and faithful.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Its amazing how comfortable and complacent we can get, isn't it. He is truly Good and Faithful though and thats so comforting.
