It is way past my families bed time, but me...I'm a night owl.  My mind, heart, and soul function at full capacity in the late night hours.  Maybe it's the calm of a quite house, so much so that I hear the clock tick and music playing softly in the background...so peaceful.  As I sit in the house of slumber, I listen to this song by Phil Wickham,

"You are the hand that catches my fall
You are the friend that answers my call
You are my day, You are my night
You are my love and all of my life

You are the love I need
You are the air I breathe
You are my love my life always forever
I would lay down my life
Just to be by Your side
You are my love my life always forever

You are the grace that covers my sin
You’re everything the beginning and end
You have my soul, my heart and my mind
You have my love and all of my life

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, forever

These lyrics are so pure, so true, and I sing out from my heart...quietly of course, since the reset of the house is in nocturnal bliss. This quiet time becomes my time with God...he has "my soul, my heart, my mind."  Sometimes it becomes overwhelmingly emotional, a broken and childlike cry for Christ to consume me entirely, but tonight, tonight it is overflowing with gratefulness, praise, and pure surrender.  What an amazing Lord we serve, one who longs for us to draw closer to Him and longs for us to know him intimately.  

I've been reading Tozer's The Pursuit of God and he writes in the first chapter regarding the relationship one is to have with God as a "continuous and unembarrassed interchange of love and thought between God and the soul of the redeemed man" (8).  That is what I long for, continuous and unembarrassed interchange with my maker in an act of complete devotion, surrender, love.  I will never forget that I am broken and only made whole in Christ.  "Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!" 2 Corinthians 9:15. And with this I say Good Night.
