I have done a pretty poor job of keeping up with this blog. I'd like to say it's because of my desire to not just write or speak just for the sake of writing or speaking. But I think if I am being honest, its because I am lazy, and don't make time for it.
I do believe that I still am trying to hold fast to the lesson God has been teaching me for years, to not fill my world with noise. I want to speak only when He wants, and only to give life, and truth. It's a great goal to have, but its a lofty one. I also feel that there have been many who have come before me that have spoken, or written great truths, and their words would be better to share then my own. With that said, here is an excerpt from The Valley of Vision. Another Good Friday post from me I know but thankfully these words are not my own.
O My Savior,
I thank thee from the depths of my being for thy wondrous grace and love in bearing my sin in thine own body on the tree.
May they cross be to me as the tree that sweetens my bitter Marahs, as the rod that blossoms with life and beauty, as the brazen serpent that calls forth the look of faith.
By they cross crucify my every sin; Use it to increase my intimacy with thyself; Make it the ground of all my comforts, the liveliness of all my duties, the sum of all thy gospel promises, the comfort of all my afflictions, the vigour of my love, thankfulness, graces, the very essence of my religion; And by it give me that rest without rest, the rest of ceaseless praise.
I pray that not only during the Easter season but during every season that my heart would aline in such a way that my entire being, my trails, my victories, all of my life would be a clear picture of God's faithfulness.
