i’ve come to face my God again, having watched the sun rise again. these words are pieces of a song and prayer that spilled out a little earlier:
in my darkness i have only shut my eyes
change me, sweep me, ravish my heart
may i wake to you
disparage fear, and dance
as i sing and pray
holding no shame back for my own rumination
i see
you have always been true
you have always been good
no longer victim
or seeker of convenient favor
FRIENDS, Facing the Lord changes everything. as the morning brightens, i am reminded by God of who he is. Somehow that changes me and comforts me at the same time. i pray for each of you this morning to face the Lord’s presence without holding back, and stand throughout the day in this comfort: he is true and he is good.
“in the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word as God. he was in the beginninig with God. all things came into being through him, and apart from him nothing came into being that has come into being. in him was life, and the life was the Light of men.” john 1
Oh, Word of God, bring us into being.
