Where i belong

I probably just spend about half an hour to and hour trying to decide what i would call this and this title kept ringing in the back of my mind. Where i belong. I named it after a song I heard one night at church. It's one that is really simple but the lyrics are so good. To whoever might be reading this look it up :)

Intro:
Your presence is all I'm longing for, here in the secret place
Your nearness is all I'm waiting for, here in the quiet place
Here in the secret place

Pre-chorus:
My soul waits for You alone
Like the watchmen wait for dawn
Here Ive finally found the place
Where well meet, Lord, face to face

Chorus 1:
Ive finally found where I belong
Ive finally found where I belong, in Your presence
Ive finally found where I belong, its to be with You, to be with You

Bridge:
I am my Beloved and He is mine
So come into Your garden and take delight in me, take delight in me

Chorus 2:
Delight in me, delight in me; delight in me, delight in me

Outro:
Here in Your presence, God, I find my rest
Here in Your presence, God

I think being in high school we tend to get lost in finding where we belong. There is so  many cliques, and pressures that distract us everyday from being our true selves in Christ. There are soo many temptations and opportunities for us to just go with the crowd. I think as humans and especially teenagers we feel a need to feel wanted,accepted and LOVED. Many times we find that need fulfilled in our peers telling us what to do, what to wear and even how to act. Its almost as if we have this script already written out for us and all were essentially doing is acting it out and in the process we loose who we really are and we miss the voice of Jesus saying "YOU follow me". We were created to love and be loved and its only until when we find where we belong is when we can truly know that we are wanted,we are accepted and we.are.loved by a Jesus who delights in us, delights in us seeking him daily, and above all he delights in having a relationship with us.

May we be able to say no to the distractions of this world and may we continue to make Him the center of our lives and not compromise anything to substitute that. And in the process may we find where we belong.
