Better is one day in Your courts

I never thought I would hear those words from you. I can't imagine how you could have considered such an option. Not after all the discussions we had about God and love.

But I saw  that God made a way out for you. I just hope that you learned from what you experienced. 

I did wonder why you were brought back to us. Now I understand.

A single day in Your courts
 is better than a thousand anywhere else!
I would rather be a gatekeeper in the house of my God
 than to live the good life in the homes of the wicked.
For the Lord is our sun and our shield
 He gives us grace and glory.
The Lord will withhold no good thing
 from those who do what is right.
O Lord of Heaven's armies
 what joy for those who trust in You.
- Psalm 84:10-12-

Lion Chaser Manifesto

Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.
