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

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.
Hi,
I sent this out in my ezine yesterday, and thought
I would share it here.
May the Lord bless,
Lee

The Journey Of Faith
© Lee Wise All rights reserved
A journey that’s rarely predictable,
Often uncomfortably unclear,
And yet remarkably meaningful
If…
My eyes strive to see Jesus
more than seeking answers,
I rejoice more in simple pleasures
then I do in tabulating my losses,
And I trade the expectation of comfort
for the God of all comfort and grace.

Comments
So much of the Christian life revolves around the on-going
process of connecting with the Lord…
In the good times,
The not-so-good times,
And all times in between.
We connect with Jesus as we strive to see him in all things,
trust him through all things, and choose to be grateful
through the entire — and sometimes crazy — process of
living by faith.
In the brief thoughts above entitled “The Journey Of Faith,”
my desire revolved around attempting to convey a fraction of
this living by faith process in words.
May the Lord strengthen us to seek, hear, and follow him
during each segment of the many and varied pathways of our
lives.

Living more and more
in the joy of His presence
while loving less and less
the pull of the world around me.
Hi,
I “challenged” myself today to write at least two new quotes. While reflecting on the theme of celebration, I penned this one:
~*~*~*~*~*~
Celebrating God
© Lee Wise All rights reserved
An on-going process of learning
to love and enjoy the God I know
and the God I have yet to figure out.
~*~*~*~*~*~
As for myself, celebrating my relationship with God is definitely a journey.
I never…
Get it all down,
Know Him as well as I should,
Eliminate all doubts or confusion,
Or respond properly at all times.
But I can…
Trust along the way,
Cling to Him while seeking to understand Him,
And remain ever grateful for the salvation I do know.
In short, I strive to continually celebrate the life I’ve been given and my relationship with the One who gave it to me.
Staying with today’s “love theme,” here’s another quote:
Loving Means…

Loving Means…
Enjoying the life I have been given,
The people I have been given to care for,
The truths I have sought to preserve,
And the God I have chosen to serve.
Enjoy the day,
Lee
