Be Satisfied.

From this point on I shoot without a script. See if anything comes of it.
I usually choose to keep my blog and my journal completely independent of one another but the other night I decided to go sit on the rocks and write and what turned out turned out to be something liked. So here it is:
Father, before time I was known and beloved, chosen for adoption through the blood of him who saves. In love I was knitted together within the womb. In sin and rebellion I came forth, with enmity your enemy. Still beloved I ran, distant I roamed, foolishly I resisted. Your grace turned my heart from the world, opened my eyes to you, and my need for more than stone and bone and flesh. Your grace came, irresistible, and called me home to you. You hammered out my imperfections in sweat and blood and tears. You tore my rotted heart out and replaced it with one that could once again beat, one that could love. Even as I forget, I grow restless, I wander off, you find me, carry me back to your flock in love. You hold me close and let me find rest. God, though the waves wash the rocks away I will stand firm on you who will not fade, will not be shaken. I will not be overwhelmed or ensnared, but I will seek you in all that I do, with all my life. I seek your ways, I seek your glory, that I may raise the banner high. Knowing I may surely perish but doing so willingly for the honor of the glory of Him who is my God and father as well as my Saviour. My hope and righteousness, my only peace. Lord, the world will pass, flesh will rot from our bones, and we will return to dust. But your glory, O God, is eternal.
Oh that my actions here, should oblivion take me the moment I leave the room, let me care not, but that my actions may echo in eternity for your glory, God let that be my aim, not to bring glory to me or to keep my memory alive, but Lord, to be sure everyone I meet remembers and knows you, whether I remain in their hearts or minds at all. God, let this take my heart. Change my heart to worry like this. Abandon all selfishness and self-seeking desires I have. But Lord, teach me to seek you, to love your word and your ways. Let all fears abandon me with your perfect love embracing me. Teach me to dwell and abide wholly in love and faith Lord, that all I do would be pure and glorifying, that I would never be able to contain your love for me and for all. God teach my lips to spread your word with my every action and every breath. God do not let me cling to anything but your grace. Let me forget names, places, and faces behind the glowing of your light. God, that you would be my most trusted and beloved companion. But Lord, teach me to love those you've blessed my life with. In thanks, let their presence bring me joy, but never be my source of it. Let their absence or abandonment or disappearance not shake me. God give me a heart like yours, to break for all those around me who are so lost. Father never let me grow stale or stagnant or apathetic. Lord let me be counted among the righteous who flourish like the mighty cedars of Lebanon, that are planted in your house, green, flourishing, and faithful to the end, declaring your name (Psalm 92). Father, take all of me and use it to serve you. Even unto death Lord, I am yours.
God, your glory shines around. The moon and stars arrive by night, crying out to show your glory and love. The waves sing hymns off the rocks as they crash, they raise a joyous tune in their ebb and flow. The wind sings through the trees, songs of your righteous deeds. The sunset illuminates the beauty of the God who came to save. The plants grow skyward, exalting you, raising their limbs to touch you. The sky spreads out over all creation showing the expanse of your glory and perfection. The lightning shines, illuminating your truth, the thunder rings echoes of your justice. Lord, the birds cry out for want of you. The creatures call out, proclaiming your provision. The ice crystallizes and reflects your glory. Fires rage, illuminating and burning with your passionate love for us. O God! Let me join in with creation to praise you! Lord in whatever way you desire let me fill it. Let my tears water your earth as my knees hit the floor. Let my blood be a testament to your sacrifice. Let my life join in with creation to bring you worship and praise. Father God, perfecter of love, God over all else, whom I love with all my heart, my whole life; Lord be glorified. In my life, be my life. Be glorified Lord. Every step, every breath, every beat of the heart, every instant, be glorified. Be glorified. This I beg. This I pray. Amen.
