Today is nearly gone. It's been a day filled up with God moments. You know, the kind of day you spend with a dear friend and you have the privilege of being the one who listens and empathizes? So many years of the give and take that characterizes a solid friendship.
Lord, You are so good and You do good, in my life and the lives of those I love. As I reflect on the last 12 hours I'm encouraged because You have given me glimpses of a woman maturing in Christ. I need these glimpses Lord.
So many times, without warning it seems, I'm taken off guard and after failing You and others my cry is always the same: "When, Lord will I get it right? And again I'm tempted by that "old voice" in my head to become discouraged.
I need these days where I see You so clearly, moving in and out of every moment as I walk through my ordinary, everyday life. At these times I'm so aware of You. Sometimes I can "almost" reach out and touch You and then I feel You touch my heart. Your handprints are all over this heart You continue to renew day by day.
Thank you for Your love, Your patience, Your mercy, and Your grace that are new and available to me every day. When I sleep You watch over me. When I wake You greet me. When I'm puzzled about what You want me to do, You go before me to show me Your path. There's nowhere I can go that You're not there. When I begin to wander from the road You've placed me on; You, my Good Shepherd take your mighty staff and nudge me back. Everything You have said inYyour Word that You'd do for those who love You I've seen You do in my life. I love You Lord, with all my heart and all my soul; today, tomorrow and forever.
