Shamelessly Needy

I don't know where I would be without Him. I heard this song today, and it just brought me back to a place of recalling everything God has done in my life. I am overwhelmed. Disgusted by my shortcomings, but humbled by His rescuing, by His redemption.

On most days, I would like to think that I'm pretty independent, that I am not a woman one would label "needy." There is however one area of my life where I absolutely want to claim complete dependence and utter neediness. Hear this loud and clear: I want to be shamelessly needy after my God. I want to have more of Him, and less of me ... because in my flesh, I am nothing but a mess.

I Need You to Love Me, Barlow Girl
Why? Why are You still here with me? Didn't You see what I've done?
In my shame I want to run, and hide myself
But it's here I see the truth, I don't deserve You

But I need You to love me
I won't keep my heart from You this time
And I'll stop this pretending that I can, somehow deserve what I already have
I need You to love me

I have wasted so much time, pushing You away from me
I just never saw how You could cherish me
Cause You're a God who has all things, and still You want me

But I need You to love me
I won't keep my heart from You this time
And I'll stop this pretending that I can, somehow deserve what I already have
I need You to love me

Your love makes me forget what I have been
Your love makes me see who I really am
Your love makes me forget what I have been
