else besides Him

Still watching a wondrous video as often as I can. While away from video today, instead listened to the song that so perfectly matches the drama. The complete lyrics can be found online at various places.

The chorus haunts me. And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you? Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

The video shows various temptations that distract us from remembering how good it is to be with the Lord: sex & relationships, money, alcohol, vanity, depression. But even if you aren't being distracted by "big" temptations, simple apathy & the daily rhythms of life block that walk with yours.

Your picture: this road ahead of you that you walk, and when you need the Lord you contact Him.

Reality: this road ahead of you, Lord walking. And He's not standing still. And if you aren't actively following, that robe gets farther and farther away. Sometimes when you catch up, you are moved by Him and you remember how it couldn't be any better than that.
