YES LORD?

"Do not worry about

your ability to hear God,

trust in God's ability

to speak to you."











Prayer is two-way conversation, after all.

And if I think Him too small to talk to me...

and His ability to make Himself heard too weak,

than I am of all men most miserable.


I've had enough one-way conversations in my

lifetime. This is one place, one conversation,

where I cannot settle for tid bits.

If I need take an hour to quiet my soul,

then that is what I must do.

God help me not settle for crumbs.

For it is not You Who is not able to speak,

but I who will not settle down

and be spoken to.


















"Samuel... Samuel..."

"Yes, Lord, here I am..."

A DAILY WOG












"Let us resolve at once
that it will be the one
characteristic
of our life
and worship,
a continual,
a humble,
a truthful,
Waiting On God."

INNER FACE

















by Jocelyne Sade


Come to the place
Where there's no trace
Of the harried pace,
the pointless race,
the hardened face.

Come into His ways,

Where there's abundant Grace,
In the Light of His Face...


Where God is Always.
Always, Always,
Good.

Me? Brainwashed?









Oh - I wouldn't have it any other way!


Why, do you have ANY idea where my
thoughts
take me at times? You may not,
but I do.







Aside from the immoral,
hateful
or
revengeful
thoughts that come...
and
thoughts of depression
or despair...










come the suggestions that I
cling to this
world...

"Eat, drink and be merry!"
"Be the center of your world!"

as though I am all that matters.

Brainwashed?
I welcome it!

"Washed by the water of the Word..."
Bring it on... open the Flood Gates!


















That I might think like He thinks,

in every situation.

And that I might realize,
without Him, all is sheer vanity.

So, shower me with Your Word, Oh God...

And make You the center of my world.
You, Who loves me so!
knows me most!
and forgives me over and over and over...
