Fly Me Home

Again here I am on the way to a place where I feel at home. A land I used to dislike yet now has become a home , closest to my heart.

My soul has been wandering around and when it has finally found its home, once again it has to leave.
It's a feeling I can't understand nor explain with any language but tears.

I asked myself: "am I created to move around?"

I don't know.

But I do know that I don't like moving around.

So in times like this I can only surrender, knowing:
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."
-Jer 29:11

"Home is where your heart is"

Where are You?

All my life, I search and search for DAD in a lot of things around me.
I'm desperately looking for Him everywhere.

I searched for Him in the people around me and yet I hardly find Him there.

Again I searched for Him in things like: comfort, wealth, love, and every possible thing that could provide good feelings; yet AGAIN I failed to see Him.

I stopped,
I gave in to the tough stuff,
I gasped,
I frantically searched again,

STILL I failed to see Him.

Then I stopped searching;
I asked: where are You?

To my surprise, when I stopped striving looking for Him everywhere,
I found Him so close to my heart.

He said He's as far as my heart.

I have stopped going everywhere to look for Him coz He is just right there.

DAD, You're just weird,
and of course in a good way.

I can't understand how close You really are to me.
I probably will never do.
And that's fine coz in my entire life of searching, I only want to see You.

And now that I have found You, I know I will never forget that you're just right there at the center of my heart.
