"Take me deeper" I asked the lord.
With my focus on his love & mercy,
Not fully aware of his holiness
"Give me more." Again, I asked the lord.
With my gaze on his grace and favor,
Without a complete understanding of his righteousness. (still)
Disregarding the responsibility of the rights I was demanding.
My eyes fixed on his glory,
Yet my heart without proper acknowledgement of his perfection.
Lost in the passion of my devotion, Unaware of the price & the duty.
Lord, you have both blessed & burdened me with your spirit.
How satisfying is it to feel & experience your favor and the external manifestation of your spirit?
Yet: how burdensome can the pursuit of holiness & righteousness, through the admonishment and exhortation of the internal manifestation of your holy spirit, be for such a wicked, broken, fallen, & conceited nature like mine.
Father, thank you!
For making a way for me to get to you, through your spirit, by the sacrifice of your Beloved Son.
I couldn't and wouldn't ever make my way to heaven.
Lord, thank you!
For making your way to earth to come meet me, to carry me, and take me back with you in a way I would've never been able to do it myself.
God, thank you!
For making the yoke easier through your son Christ Jesus.
To his name be all glory, honor, power & dominion forever! Amen.
