Because the Sovereign LORD helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore, I have set my face like a stone, (Flint) determined to do his will. And I know that I will not be put to shame. Isaiah 50:7 NLT
I have titled my blog "My Magnificent Obsession because everything I do is directly connected to God. Every decision, like who I spend my time with, or what I decide to wear, flows out of my relationship with him.
Within us is this desire to fixate ourselves on something or someone. Whether you admit it or not, you, my friend, have an obsession. It's impossible not to take note of this simple fact! Running from rehab to rehab, in and out of social circles, and climbing certain spectrums of hum drum, many live in denial wrapping themselves around what would appear to satisfy.
Obsession or addiction takes on many forms. I am quite familiar with the life of an addict. Much of my life, relationships and drugs, to dreams and self-image all became a part of my whirlwind, chain of vices . As a girl, I always dreamed of being a world renowned singer. I remember falling asleep to images of myself singing in front of thousands of people. This slowly became one of my many obsessions, eventually culminating in my move to New York City, where I would come to the end of myself and the beginning of a lifelong relationship with Jesus. Along with the desire for fame came the never-ending cycle of relationships. My list of vices goes on, from my fascination to hip-hop culture, to the clamoring after perfecting my physical appearance, yet nothing ever satisfied this art of compulsive behavior I had created for myself. That is when Jesus walked into my self-delusioned world and completely re-wired my thinking.
It is better still to say that He had always been there, except for far too long I chose to ignore his calling. This Man; The Sweetest of Lovers, The Sweetest of Names, The Name that is above every Name. One that has now become my Divine Muse. His name: Jesus Christ. The savory breathtaking title of One who has finally taken his rightful place within me.
I could not be more satisfied than I now am. Despite his love causing wars within me-my imperfection vs. his completeness-I am anchored in his love. He is the center of my all. A jealous Lover is He indeed.
This same passionate call is for the masses. In particular, His foreboding drips from his lips calling you, "Come and Let me become your Obsession."
Everything about you will be transformed as you wrap your thoughts, heart, soul, and mind
around His person and presence. Hungry for more, read his love letter to you found in the Word, also known as the Bible. There you will find that this same God that I have become so enraptured by is unequivocally obsessed with you, His creation. At the moment, I hear my Divine Obsession drawing me to speak with Him.
cheers and Gb as you begin to discover this Divine Muse.

I’m running through the gates of love, as fast as I can
I can’t wait to see You cuz I’m a desperate man
You made the light and sent it down
to show us who You are
Now It’s bursting out my heart
My desire is burning like a million stars
And I’ll keep reaching out, reaching out for You
I’d be nothing without You, yeah I would die
If I didn’t have Your hand if I couldn’t look into Your eyes
Jesus if Your love’s the fuel then I’m the desperate flame
That’s screaming out Your name
My desire is burning like a million stars
And I’ll keep reaching out, reaching out for You
My desire, is burning with the fire You sparked
And I’ll keep reaching out, reaching out for You
This is glory rising, over a new horizon
I See Your love, I feel Your smile
You're in my heart and I will run with all I have to You
My desire is burning like a million stars
And I’ll keep reaching out, reaching out for You
My desire, is burning with the fire You sparked
And I’ll keep reaching out, reaching out for You
I'm reaching out for You
I'm reaching out for You, You, You
