place in this world

Blessed, Holy God,

Thank You. More singing. Much laughter.

♪The wind is moving

But I am standing still

A life of pages

Waiting to be filled

A heart that’s hopeful

A head that’s full of dreams

But this becoming

Is harder than it seems

Feels like I’m 

Looking for a reason 

Roaming through the night to find 

My place in this world♪

Lord, I love when You sing me awake. Especially with songs that cause me to ponder Your Truth.

♪I need Your light to help me find

My place in this world♪

And right here comes a thought from the other day. One about being in this world, not of it.

Lord God, how I ask (Matthew 7:7a) You to lead and guide me into Your Word.

(5:38 a.m.)

There is an eager excitement [agog-ness] going on within me. To such the degree that I don’t have words. Just seemingly random, muddled thoughts.

Reading in the early to mid-teens (chapters 13-17) in the book of John I want to shout out for all to hear. “Yes! This!! Let’s learn to love as Jesus commanded” (John 13:34-35).

I truly believe this [loving as the Bible teaches] to be my place in this world. Here I confess to not doing it well at all. I have so many doubts. Contradictions. Emotional overloads.

Thank You that Your Word doesn’t change.

♪Your love never fails, never gives ip

It never runs out on me…

And on and on and on and on it goes

It overwhelms and satisfies my soul

And I’ll never, ever have to be afraid

Cause this One Thing Remains

(Your love never fails)…♪

I confess to You Dear Lord. I don’t know how to use well this wonderful, powerful love You have so perfectly provided. My heart is filled to overflowing with desire to “get it right.”

Do all You must that I be attentive and aware of the strength I have in Your mighty power (Ephesians 6:10). I want to not be troubled or afraid (John14:27c). Filled with Your overflowing joy (15:11).

I receive tastes and glimpses of it every day. Use me as You know is best in sharing it as You so skillfully and wondrously designed. Yes. Please. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
