Come and Get It!

This lyric from Bethel Live's "Your Presence" has been resonating in my head for 2 days now. It says:

"If you want it, come and get it for crying out loud. This love that He has given for you was never in doubt."

I love it because it is raw and real. For believers in Christ, God's love is so available to us. His presence, His goodness, His mercy, all right there, waiting for us to take hold of it. I feel like so many times we feel alone or abandoned or downcast, when God's word encourages us in Psalm 42:5 saying:

"Why, my soul, are you downcast?

Why so disturbed within me?

Put your hope in God,

for I will yet praise him,

my Savior and my God."

We know what to do and have access to all of God, as Father, Bridegroom, and Comforter.

"Cast all your cares on Him, for He cares for you." - 1 Peter 5:7

"Trust in Him at all times, O people;

pour out your heart before Him;

God is a refuge for us." - Psalm 62:8

If you want it, come and get it, for crying out loud!
