Your enlightening words
What am I doing with my life? Am I whole-hearted about it? Doing my best? I know how powerful You are, one word of Yours is sufficient to create anything. Am I open to You? One “let there be” and there is a sky-full of stars, from nothing. You don’t need a palette to paint the sky blue. What do You think of us? A motley crew. It surprises me sometimes the coldness of our hearts.
I walked my old suburb this morning, remembering many old friends, old acquaintances. It has changed a lot. Everything changes, governments change, society changes, culture changes.
I take Your words to my heart. They are sown in us like wheat by You. You speak to us, You are not a silent God, non-communicative, but You adapt to our language, our concepts. You speak helpful, enlightening words, for if anyone is wise, You are Wisdom, if anyone can inspire it is You. I trade my ideas for Yours, far superior, our ways can be angry, bitter, grumbling, divisive. Your ways are peace, love, joy, generous, and patient and long suffering. Your way is forgiveness and helping others, humbly serving, a refreshing goodness.
Thankful for life
Lord, I have life! It’s a great thing, a great gift. And I have also another life, a life with You, a relationship with You. This gives meaning to my days. And this life is fueled by praye – communication with You. You are my life!
Giver of Life, thank You! My life is a limited lovely thing. It has been great but it is not the ultimate. We are only passing through, like sparrows through a castle hall.
Of all relationships I have in life, this is the greatest. This relationship with You, my God. It gives me joy, hope and understanding. You understand me. You know me. Even if I fly to Australia, You are with me. If I am plunged in despair and suffering, You are there too, You know it. My life has been wonderful Lord, I cannot deny it. Wonderful because You have been in it, and with me, through it all. You watch over me. You call me. You help me again and again. One thing I ask, let me not disappoint You! Let me love You like a child loves his mother or father.
