God Gives

When you progress from a prayer (thoughtful and all), to countless thanksgiving AND swelling emotions—you know you’ve met the Lord in a special place and moment. A godly reminiscing “doeth” good like medicine, for it cures malaise of mind, and gives you a different (reconsidered) view of your reality. I often realize how affectation of any kind can expose the “not so good” things in you; but God regularly gives us opportunities to step up, and move in His “uncanny” grace; and unlike our normal nature—numerous and wonderful are the thoughts and plans, laid out for each and every one of His Beloved children. He looks where to perform His word; and His word in you is then- working material and substance. When I praise, honor, exalt, and glorify the Lord— litl’ ol me then (so) accepts and owns, truly and thoroughly, my place and use in God, who so loves me- me in Him and He with me...My God of ample and various ways, of giving us what a life of tales, and turns, and many scapes!!

Psalm 16:7-11 The Message

The wise counsel God gives when I’m awake

is confirmed by my sleeping heart.

Day and night I’ll stick with God;

I’ve got a good thing going and I’m not letting go.

I’m happy from the inside out,

and from the outside in, I’m firmly formed.

You cancelled my ticket to hell—

that’s not my destination!

Now you’ve got my feet on the life path,

all radiant from the shining of your face.

Ever since you took my hand,

I’m on the right way.
