by We have all been found guilty of idols in our life. Some of these surface idols cover up deeper issues. Because of the trauma and rejection that was placed on me at an early age, my surface idol showed up as striving/ overachievement/perfectionism. My deeper idol was to get approval from others. It has taken me a long time to realize this. When we lay our idols as Jesus’ feet, he quenches our thirst every single time. Satan makes it his business to make us think that Christ isn’t enough. The truth of the matter is, we aren’t enough without him. Daily, we have to go to the tree of life, who is the only one who will fulfill us. Be blessed!
The Quench
Lord, I want their approval.
My child, you’re filled with fear and doubt.
Just come to the well.
Drink from my everlasting spout.
Lord, I want their approval.
Don’t you see me on the hill?
With the woman at the well.
Her jar left quite unfilled.
Lord, I want their approval.
Oh my child, can’t you see?
They’re all broken and insecure…
Need some fixin’ at the tree.
Lord, I need your approval.
Oh dear child, you can see.
All your striving and perfecting,
Doesn’t mean a thing to me.
It’s by grace that you’re saved.
Not by works.
You can’t boast.
And I love you.
Yes, I love you.
Oh, I’m loving you the most.
