my soul longs for You, nothing else will do

my soul longs for You...
i want to rest in You- fall asleep to things of the world.
rest in You, give You everything.
but when i awake, it's not like a literal escaping sleep when i wake up and find my troubles still lurking and painful right in front of me.
when i rest in You, You carry my burdens. You give me peace. You lavish Your love over me. You wash my tired feet from walking in this desert for so long.
i just want to close my eyes and see Your face-
feel Your heart beat calmly and peacefully against mine, racing with fear.
feel Your safe, warm, protective hands enclose themselves over mine, cold and trembling.
hear You whisper to me that i will not drown in these rivers of difficulty. nor burn in these flames.

i love You. and i know You love me... why cant it be that simple? why does my heart make it complicated?

i need more passion.
more passion for You. i have to stop talking about You like You dont live inside me.
even as i say this, i feel so far away. but close at the same time, all You ask is that i love You and give You my heart. so here's my heart... this is what i feel. this is what i think about all day. how i long for You... i want more. i need more of You... "living Breath of Life, come and fill me up" ... nothing else will do.
