Tuesday 17^th January: Day 10

If you’ve kept up with this blog then it has now officially become a habit.  It takes 10 days to form a habit and that’s where we are today: on our 10^th day.

Has this blog done anything for you?

Given you any new insight into yourself?

Or God?

Do you think the re-modelling of your relationship with God is under way?

Or at least that a tiny step has been taken in the right direction?

Can I tell you what I hope?  (You know I’m going to anyway!)
I hope that you don’t just know with your head that you’re God’s

But that you have begun to feel it in your bones!! 

I hope that you have caught a glimpse of what you mean to Him

And of how he cradles you in the palm of his hand.

I hope that you have grown in faith-confidence

Because that’s when exciting things begin to happen...

That’s when you start to realise God is there

And that he’s interested

Really interested in you –

And more than anything

That he wants the best for you...

Ever-living God,

Always the same

And yet new every morning,

Help me to rejoice in you...

To find peace in you

And strength for each day.

Help me to realise the value you place on me

As me.

Me.

Unique

Imperfect

Full of foibles,

Me.

Even with all my faults and failings

You see me as one to love...

You see me as one worth giving up everything for...

You see me as belonging to you –

Your child.

May I find the courage to let you lead me

And hold me...

May I find the courage to trust you to carry me over

even the roughest terrain.

And in you may I discover

My true self.

Someone you think

Is worth dying for.

Grateful thanks, generous God.
