This time you spend with me here, I don’t take for granted. I’ll never get over your willingness to share a bit of your day with me.
Thank you.
I’m nearing my 300th post and realizing more and more — these words I shed, this time you spend, I don’t want them to be wasted.
It may mean I post less or it may mean I share more. All I can promise you is the words will be prayed over.
There are a number of thoughts swimming around and I’m trying to discern how He wants me to proceed. I know I need to share how my prayer life has changed lately. I know I need to talk about this lukewarm Christian business more, because I’m tired of it. And you should be, too.
My biggest fear is that I would allow the words shared here to become watered down, not in poetic form but in truth. And if it takes me longer to live them before I share them, I hope you understand.
Through Lent, I read every translation/version of James I could get my hands on. And a portion of the intro found in The Message has stuck with me:
“For, what good is a truth if we don’t know how to live it?”
Oh, friends, I pray I live His truth. Every day. I pray my words here point You to Him. And I realize how tall of an order that is, as I’m just me. But He’s just Him. And that’s what I plan on clinging to…
Words
by Hawk Nelson
…
Words can build you up
Words can break you down
Start a fire in your heart or
Put it out
Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don’t wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
You can heal the heartache
Speak over the fear
God, Your voice is the only thing
We need to hear
Let the words I say
Be the sound of Your grace
I don’t wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You
I wanna speak Your love
Not just another noise
I wanna be Your light
I wanna be Your voice
I don’t wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You

How about you, friend? How do you resound grace and point to Him? What thoughts are swimming around in you lately? I’d love to hear.
Thanks for sharing your time with me. I mean it…
Simply striving,
