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.
