Him whom we serve will become the deserving object of our love, the focus of our thoughts.
I've seen so many different ways to live--so many different focal points, and what harvests they yield. I'm so grateful that I've learned which one brings the filling of emptiness, the healing of wounds, an overflowing of love and joy and peace and life.
God, You are so faithful. I can utterly trust You with everything I am. Your love is vast and powerful, yet so gentle. As long and reaching as the east is from the west, and yet will fit in my mortal heart. High and holy--and yet as familiar as children sharing a sink to brush their teeth, or doing the evening dishes with my family, elbow-deep in suds. I trust You. I declare Your Name to all who will listen, and rejoice in knowing Your goodness and the astonishing grace you hold out to each of us. You clothe us in Your righteousness, protecting and honoring us, and I willlove You always for it. :-)
