Confessions Entry 9


Entry 9
Thank you Father for another beautiful day on this earth. Your goodness spans the vast expanse of the universe and your creation sings your praises. Lord, I feel it. I feel your presence, and your love. Here’s my heart, Lord, take and seal it. How wonderful a feeling it is that I should look upon the days before I knew you and say how much better my life is with you in it. I am neither above pain nor suffering, but I am free from its bondage.
How important discipline is in all aspects of life. If one can discipline himself spiritually he will then be most capable of carrying that discipline onwards to span the duties of his daily existence. It all starts with waking up and resisting the urge to check your E-mail, Twitter, Facebook, or text messages, but instead let that first thought be a few words of thanksgiving to God for waking you up, and asking for the strength to get through the day as He wills. It’s the discipline to open the Word and soak in His grace - to center your mind and heart on the things more important than the trivialities of life. This is my offering to you, God. I will give you my life for it’s all I have to give because you gave your life for me. I may not have much to offer, but what I have is yours.
