In these years

LORD, looking back over these years of my life I see often that I was worried and cared way too much of what others thought, said, or did.

I know I have grieved YOU with that.

I am sorry.

It wasn’t always with an ill intention, or selfish motive.

Many times I did not want them to think ill of YOU because I claimed YOUR NAME.

But still – sigh.

Now I realize deeper and stronger that people are going to think, see, say and do – what they will.

Regardless of me, my life, or the truth.

There will be assumptions and distortions.

There will be fabricated stories and wild tall tales.

There will be those who speak with forked tongues, and evil hearts.

And I can’t change one of them.

I can’t make their choices and decisions.

I can’t make them think, see, say and do, what is good and right.

That’s between them and YOU.

My heart is weary God – of spending so much of my time and energy wondering, worrying, and caring, what others think, see, say or do.

As David said in Psalm 131 – it’s too much for me.

So after all this time, all these years – here I am.

Just as I am.

GOD, YOU know my heart and mind.

Please, help me live this life to Please YOU – to Honor YOU – that no matter what I do, no matter where I am, no matter who I am with – whether alone, in real life, or online – YOU are Glorified.

YOU are Lifted Up.

YOU are the Light of my life – and YOUR Light is reflected in me, through me.

I just want to be YOUR moon 😉

: Matthew 6:24 – No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.

• LORD, I choose YOU. Please help me live this choice. Moment by moment. Breath by breath.

: Revelation 2:4 – But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.

• Forgive me of my sin. Cleanse me from all my impurities. Make me holy to YOU. And Revive me, O LORD!!!!!

: Ephesians 3:14-19 – For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from Whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of His Glory He may grant you to be strengthened with Power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through Faith – that you, being rooted and grounded in Love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the Love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

• Here I am to worship YOU . . . Here I am to bow down . . . Here I am to say that YOU are my GOD . . . 

: Psalm 16:11 – You make known to me the path of life; in Your Presence there is fullness of joy; at Your Right Hand are pleasures forevermore.

• LORD, when I am afraid, I trust in YOU. Psalm 56:3
