A TALK WITH GOD

 

Oftentimes, I just need to talk or share with you, God.  So I write to you now for a multitude of reasons, all of which you know already. And the fact that you know already and see right through me is one of the reasons I write to you:  I will have to be honest.   You won’t be fooled by lame excuses and half-truths

First, I want to thank you. Oh, there are so many things to be thankful for:  so many.  I am especially thankful that you have tenderized my heart to the suffering of others.  It wasn’t this way before.  We both know that this isn’t the me that started out following you.  We both know my caring for others wouldn’t be where it is today if it weren’t for you working within me.   I praise you for that, and I am thankful that you found me worthy of tenderizing. 

You have given me the only value I have. 

But oh, I have so many rough edges, Lord.  You know  I am not where I  want and where I need to be. You know,  Lord.   But nevertheless, I am glad I am on Your road.   So lead me on, Lord.  Lead me on.  Warm and tenderize me even more. Continue to teach me to love more like you love.   I want to be the child, Lord.   I want to be in Your Kingdom come. “Your power and glory let them shine through me.”
