God Is In The Closet

Remember this old Frank Sinatra song. . . 

I've lived a life that's full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way

I was humming it the other day, it came to my mind from somewhere....! 
(I think I know from where or maybe Whom)

I was thinking about the words when the Lord clearly put on my heart, you should've been doing it My way ~ blessings would have been more abundant.

I've always been a 'take charge' type of person, if something needs to be done, let's get it done.

I'm sorry to say many times I stepped out without even talking to God about it.

When I left work in 1996 the Lord really started calling me into a closer walk with Him.  It was amazing how He worked in my life and how the Holy Spirit would fill me a hunger I had never known.  

I accepted the Lord into my life when I was 14 years old, He filled me that night with a love I had never known.  The feeling in my heart overwhelmed me as I stood before the congregation crying tears of pure joy.

And then . . . .

God Is In The Closet

I met my Lord and Savior,
Many years ago.
I brought Him home to live with me
Because I loved Him so.

I put Him in the closet
Because I had things to do.
What happened to my love for Him,
He's in there with the shoes!

Well, all those things I had to do
became a great big mess.
I couldn't understand it,
I did my very best.

Then one day I heard a knock
coming from the closet door.
I was my Lord and Savior,
My heart began to soar.

He ask me if I was ready
To let Him take control.
He straightened out my great big mess,
He straightened out my soul.

Now He's with me in the bedroom
As I start each new day.
Guiding every step I take
As I go along the way.

He's with me in the kitchen,
He's with me in the den.
He stays with me throughout the house
Whatever room I'm in.

He's with me when I leave my home
And face a world of sin.
We leave His shining light of love
Everywhere we've been.

He did not forsake me,
His promises are true.
I hold His hand tightly now
In everything I do.

My Lord and Savior is with me,
I take Him everywhere.
He's not inside the closet,
Why would I put Him there?
