All I Need
I don’t need to see the gates of heaven
I don’t need to walk the streets of gold
I don’t need to heal the blind or leper
To know the truth that’s in my very soul
I don’t need to see all the beauty
Of everything He’s made or He’s done
I don’t need to know what lies before me
To know in my heart that Jesus is the one
I don’t need to walk upon the water
I don’t need His blessed face to see
I don’t need to feel the holes where nails were
To know that Jesus died and lives for me!
Jesus
‘Cause Your Spirit lives inside of me
Your grace is all sufficient
You are all I ever need
Your mercy is over abundant
Your love is all I crave
Not one thing more I’ll ever ask
‘Cause, Jesus
You’re all I need
No, I don’t need to feel the holes where nails were
To know You’re all I need
I do understand where Thomas was coming from though, Lord. I understand that humanness inside of him that spoke words of doubt in his mind. I understand that even though sometimes, we long to believe something, we want to believe it so much, but there is just a little morsel of doubt that eats at our hearts. Unfortunately, sometimes we allow that doubt to win over and we throw away the blessing that You had intended to bestow on us. Sometimes, we allow that doubt to win over and our growth is stunted and we never become the person that You have designed us to be. Sometimes, we allow that doubt to win over and we stop moving forward, or Heaven help us, we stumble backwards, and we never reach the destination that You have set us on.
But, Lord, we cannot allow that doubt to gain any hold over us! We just cannot afford to let it even get it’s foot in the door of our hearts or minds! We must keep our eyes on You at all times. Even when someone tries to tell us that You are not what we have projected You to be. We must keep our ears on You at all times, even when someone tries to tell us that we cannot possibly hear Your voice. We must stay focused on the ways that You have directed us, even when someone tells us that we are on a dead end road. We must stand on everything that You have told us, everything that we believe about You, even when there are those who would tell us that we are on sinking sand.
Because there will always be someone who tries to defeat us. Someone who will try to rob us of everything that You have ordained for us. Someone who, whether they realize that their actions are doing it or not, will seemingly seem bent on destroying the work that You are trying to accomplish, Lord.
Thank You for all the ways that You prove to us every day that You are real and that You are working things out for our good. But thank You too, Lord, for the security in not needing to see the proof to know that You are real.
I Love You, Lord.
