kinder and friendlier

Blessed God,

I just had a horrible, awful, terrible dream. I’m looking to You to calm my being. Yes Lord. I’m looking to You. Do in, with, by, through and for me all that I can’t do for myself. I love You. I need, trust and want You.

(7:30 a.m.)

Thank You Father. I got more sleep. And a gentle continuation of the same dream. Kinder. Friendlier.

(11:16 a.m.)

Blessed, Holy God,

Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. Turning to You I am blessed [beyond all measure!]. Searching Your Word, I’m settling in with Colossians 4:6.

Expanded Bible. “When you talk, you should always be kind [gracious] and pleasant [winsome; engaging; or wholesome; seasoned with salt] so you will be able to answer everyone in the way you should.”

Oh yes Dearest Dad! I want to be a much kinder and friendlier person than I am. One who represents You well.

I love You. I need You. I trust and want You as Lord of my life. Use me this day [which You have made (Psalm 118:24a)] exactly as You alone know is best. Rejoicing and being glad (v. 24b). Kinder and friendlier. Amen.
