In the quiet of the morning, my thoughts (re)turn to God...
"Let the words of my mouth,
and the meditation of my heart,
be acceptable in thy sight,
O Lord,
my rock,
and my redeemer."
~ Psalms 19:14 ~
These hands, heart and mind which are mine have little value in and of themselves; for by themselves they have not gotten me far. It is only, and always, as I apply myself unto Him that I find fulfillment, an (excited) peace, and rest...
Notes to self:
- Organize my orientation that I might 'have to give.' (More specifically, that I first take the time and effort to amass a good supply of that which I subsequently will have available to 'give')
- Owe no man anything which must be repaid, but owe God and men heartfelt words and services that are freely rendered in love
- Be clear to communicate, and further to demonstrate, a heart of devotion through radiant living and charitable service
Today, I do not strive with you, my God and Maker. I delight only in your presence and in your truth. I gladly welcome the knowledge of you as revealed through scripture, which in turn leads me to bask in your actual reality and in your actual grace.
The form and forms of scriptural words which describe you, although breath-takingly beautiful and amazing, have in fact changed over time, but you have not.
Nor has the path to your heart...
"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving,
and into his courts with praise..."
~ Psalms 100:4 ~
And so it begins (again) for me. How about you?...
