Got to reflecting and created this today…
The Path To Personal Growth With Jesus
© Lee Wise All rights reserved
The discipline of listening to your heart before the Lord,
paying close attention to the patterns of your life,
accepting truthfully what you see,
looking forward to what you would like to see,
and making a solid commitment to change
both what you must and what you will in Christ.
On Building Legacies…
©Lee Wise All rights reserved
We forge legacies one step at a time.
In and out of life’s muddier moments,
During days we call “sunshine days,”
And times when the beauty of sunlight
seems more of a dream than any shred of reality.
We make choices,
Share stories,
Enjoy laughter among friends,
Know the meaning of success,
And tolerate failure the best we can.
Traversing through these many, varied
and ever-changing mini seconds of our lives…
We call out to Jesus.
We cry out for strength, wisdom, health,
mercy, and grace to make it over the long haul.
We desire to leave legacies.
Good legacies.
Legacies of love, trust,
surrender, gratitude,
and faithfulness.
Why?
Because in serving the God of all grace,
we know that in the end only two things
really matter…
Really.
Loving God
And loving the people He created.
“Our loving Father… make us strong.
Strong in time until time ends for us.
In the timeless name of Jesus we pray.
Amen.”

Good Questions For Living A Great Life
(Listening To God For All He’s Worth In Psalm 40)

___________________
Reflecting On Verses 1-4…
Assuming that waiting patiently before the Lord is a part of
the growth process for my life as a believer, I might ask:
“Am I waiting patiently for the Lord as I should… or am I
trusting less and worrying more than necessary?”
___________________
Reflecting On Verse 5…
Realizing that seeing the wonders of God throughout the days
of my life should always be a part of my life, I might ask:
“How am I doing at seeing the things I should be seeing
while I still have time to see them?”
___________________
Reflecting On Verses 6-8…
Knowing that the desires of my heart should match the
desires of God’s heart, I might ask:
“Am I continuing to take on the life-long task of putting my
heart in the right place, at the right time, for all of
God’s right reasons?”
___________________
Reflecting On Verses 9-12,17…
Realizing that love, truth, and complete openness before the
Lord should find their way into my life on a regular basis,
I might ask:
“Am I sharing good things about the good God I know while
being open enough to share the junk I don’t want anyone to
know with the God who knows it all anyway?”
___________________
Reflecting On Verses 13-16
Understanding that it’s okay to lay all I’m feeling before
the Lord while striving to lift him up in all areas of my
life, I might ask:
“Am I sharing my pain and frustrations with the Lord while
at the same time being careful to enjoy him whenever and
however I can… with his help?”

On Being Satisfied…
© Lee Wise All rights reserved
I realize true satisfaction in life
by fostering a day by day trust
in a God whose wisdom and love
blows way, way past my limited
comprehension of the same.
Gratefulness
© Lee Wise All rights reserved
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.
Hi,
Just created this last evening that thought
I would share it. As usual, “Enjoy!”
