Reality check!

Speak gently - it is better far

To rule by love than fear;

Speak gently - let not harsh words mar

The good we might do here.

I need to be sympathetic and understanding!

Please God, help me!

Under HIS control

Is the axe to boast itself over the one who chops with it?

Is the saw to exalt itself over the one who wields it?

That would be like a club wielding those who lift it,

Or like a rod lifting him who is not wood.

Isaiah 10:15 (NASV)

God has all the power, control and skill!

I just need to allow myself to be connected to His power, be under His control and to enjoy His skill!

Shine on me!

Suddenly, God, you floodlight my life;

I'm blazing with glory, God's glory!

Psalm 18:28 (The Message)

This is where I want to be...

The NASV puts it like this 'For You light my lamp...'

In the last few months I feel like God has turned on the lights...and I've seen things in a different way.

Clearer!

His word is more relevant, His love is more precious, His holiness is more spectacular and His presence is more real.

He loves me, cares for me, helps me, heals me, comforts me, strengthens me, gives me joy!

But I'm nowhere near there yet...

Sometimes His light shows up things that perhaps I'd rather not have seen...This is when he corrects me and realigns me, with love!

All along He improves me!

God, please don't stop! I want to 'blaze with Your glory!'

Why HIM to me?

I so never ever, thought I'd do a blog!  But here I am blogging!

At the moment I'm the only one who will ever read this so I don't need to worry too much, but if you're not me then things have obviously changed.

Anyway...'HIM to me' - Well, I have come around to the benefits of noting down some of the gems and priceless thoughts that God gives to me when we spend time together...something I still find difficult to do!

And so that's what this is all about...
