I delight in your worship

and even more so when it extends into your daily life and all that the natural man would consider mundane.

You will walk through the 'mundane' and even 'painful' parts of your life with the light of my presence.

You will find true joy in me all the day long.

The praise of your life is beautiful to me.

"By practising God's presence and continuously looking at Him, the soul familiarizes itself with Him to the extent that it passes almost its whole life in continual acts of love, praise, confidence, thanksgiving, offering , and petition."

~Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection (1605-1691)

"Happy are those who hear the joyful call to worship, for they will walk in the light of your presence, Lord.  They rejoice all day long in your wonderful reputation.  They exult in your righteousness."

Psalms 89:15-16

Man's wisdom tends to be full of envy and where 'good deeds' are done there

are always wrong motives.

Many do 'good deeds' for selfish purposes and amitious pride of life.

My desire is to give you a soft, humble heart that doesn't show off or act out in pride but one that does good with sincere humility that comes from my love.

I long for you to share in my perspective, where the one who is the least is truly the greatest.

Work in unity with me.

Wisdom is seeing life from God's perspective.

~Bill Gothard (b.1934)

"Who is wise and understanding among you let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in humility that comes from wisdom.  But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.  Such wisdom does not come down from heaven but is earthly, nonspiritual, of the devil.  For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.  But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure: then peace loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.  Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness."

James 3:13-18

Stay close to me

Let my Spirit find home and overwhelm your heart

With what I desire and who I am

So that you will know what prayers to bring to the Father

Live each moment with your eyes truly open

Never stop bringing yourself and your brothers and sisters to the Father in prayer.

"It is in the paths of intercessory prayer that we enter the richest fields of spiritual growth and gather priceless riches.  To pray for others is of divine appointment, and it  represents the highest form of christian service." ~E.M.Bounds (1835-1913)

"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.  With this in mind, be alert and always keep praying for all the saints."

Ephesians 6:18

Keep your heart full of joy in all of life's circumstances.

Keep talking with me and listen to my voice...

Don't grow far away...

Spend time with me.

Keep yourself thankful towards me always.

Don't shut out my voice in your life.

Don't hold back my Spirit.

Be open, thankful and close to me.

I love you and want to keep the relationship we have together healthy and close.

"Pray and never faint, is the motto Christ gives us for praying.  It is the test of our faith and the more severe the trial and the longer the waiting, the more glorius the results.

~E.M. Bounds (1835-1913)

'Always be joyful.  Keep on praying.  No matter what happens, always be thankful for this is God's will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.  Do not stifle the Holy Spirit.

!st Thessalonians 5:16-19 

I really think this one speaks completely for itself, as a love note but it really is necessary to read the whole chapter to understand it more fully.

(Besides its exactly what I needed to hear today.  Hoping it helps you too.)

"Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.  Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.  Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this:

He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun."

Psalms 37:3-7

In Me you were given everything you need.

In Me, you will be made complete.

Holy has the same root as wholly, it means complete.  A man is not complete in spiritual stature if all his mind, heart, soul and strength are not given to God.

~R. J. Stewart 

"In Christ the fullness of God lives in a human body, and you are complete through your union with Christ."

Colossians 2:9&10

Join me in a  world that seems upside down to your nature,

One where like myself,

I long for you to be unselfish,

Think of others as better than yourself,
And know that the lowly are truly great in my eyes,

Let My love

rule in your heart and in your way of life,

I love you,

Now share My love!!

Don't be selfish;

don't live to make a good impression on others.
Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourself.

Don't think about your own affairs but be interested in others, too, and what they are doing.

Your attitude should be the same that Christ Jesus had.  Though He was God, He did not demand and cling to His rights as God.

He made Himself nothing;

He took the humble position of a slave and appeared in human form.
Philippians  2:3-7
