Just wrote this within the last minute or two
and thought I’d share it.
The Lord’s best to you this day,

Joy in Jesus

Being able to say
at the end of the day…
I followed the Lord when I could,
Received his forgiveness when I chose not to,
And realized the meaning of grace through it all.
While reflecting about the Lord’s goodness to me, I created the following. I may add a few thoughts in the form of a brief “article” for my ezine. But, we’ll see.
Grateful Confidence

Knowing that the Person
Who set me free in the past
will do the same today, tomorrow
and when tomorrow becomes forever.
I posted a few thoughts on another forum in response
to a question that revolved around how do we show
love for Jesus in our everyday worlds.
My answer is below. Enjoy.
I would agree that one very tangible aspect has to do
with being obedient.
However, I might add that love for Jesus manifests itself in
a variety of ways. Love expresses itself so many ways in a
quality, growing relationship.
Therefore, I would include such things as the following in
my ever changing definition of what loving Jesus means in
practice:
Turning to him as opposed to away from Him in difficult
times,
Relating to him by bringing him into my everyday life by
conversing with him throughout the day,
Expressing joy to him for the simple reality of his
presence,
Dedicating my responses to him in the good times, the not-
so-good times, and in the simply awful times,
Reflecting gratefulness to him for so many, many things that
he gives me,
Sharing with him my deepest joys, sorrows and everything
else that lies somewhere between those to deep seated
emotions;
Trusting him when trusting falls far, far beyond easy on
the “things that are easy to do scale,”
Releasing to him all of the unanswered questions that
find themselves appearing on the emotional screen of my
inner being throughout the varied stages of my journey on
earth with him,
And worshiping him through everything that was just
mentioned — and more that could be mentioned — because, in
essence, I reflect love to him by determining to live with
him and for him…
During every time and season of life:
The beautiful ones,
The ones marked by the ugliness of pain in all its forms,
And everything else in between.
Just created this in the last few moments.
Enjoy,
Lee
The Heart Of Gratefulness

At the heart of being grateful
is the determination to remain satisfied with God
and His dealings with men — including and especially me.
Gratefulness

A way of seeing and responding to life
that promotes…
More well being than being ill,
Happiness than heart breaking self sabotage,
And seeing Jesus in all things
instead of losing sight of Him
when I need to see Him most.
On Being A Son

I love my Father
for giving me the honor
of knowing and serving His Son.
Saying Thank You…

Not allowing the dust of death
to encase the beauty of His life
in a self-seeking shroud of my own making.
No, I wasn’t in a horrible mood when I created this, LOL!
Simply began to reflect on how being thankful for the
amazing gift of salvation should continually motivate me
toward godly thinking and living.
Enjoy!
