I
treasure the moments when God’s love flows freely through me to others. In
those all-too-infrequent occasions when it does I sense something unearthly, I
breathe rarified air. I know His love should always flow unencumbered, but
sadly, perpetual self-awareness and pressings needs regularly restrict its
unobstructed passage. On those occasions when the channel is open, His Divine Passion
passes unhindered and I myself am more exhilarated and deeply fulfilled than at
any other time. Lord, forgive me for monopolizing Your love by my neediness.
Help me be a constantly open channel.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
