Standing Here with You

So I'm listening to that Lifehouse song "Everything", and it got to the part where it says "And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by You?" That just got me thinking...why am I not so much more in awe day by day just by the fact that I am a child of God and He loves me? Why does that fact not strike me more often? Why do I not live my life with all of the passion and love that my Savior has shown me? What holds me back?

Is it that I get so caught up in the routine of life that I forget who I'm living it for?

I think that's it. I focus so much of my time and energy on completing the next task, getting an A on the next paper, getting through each and every day with such determination and speed that it rushes past before I've really lived it.

And then all it takes is a song, a beam of sunlight in the morning, the glitter of snow, the laughter of friends, the taste of good food, and I can feel God's presence warming my life again, giving it fullness and depth and richness and beauty that I could never dream up. Why am I in such a hurry to forget those moments?

How can I stand here with You and not be moved by You?
