Your Staff Comforts Me
You.
What?!
You. Are amazing!
More of You. Worship, unceasing prayer, never letting go, everything sacred, discovering You and Your will, direction, confidence, self-sacrifice, no more horrible lukewarm tea, discipline, rejoicing, adoring, devotion, first, savoring, everything, consuming, deepening, intimate, whispered direction, centered, bright eyes, in love, moving inward, moving outward, unrushed time, writing, silenced by Your love, heart that breaks, compassion, peace in chaos, shalom, holding Your hand, delighting, renewal, rhythm, meditating, on my knees, in awe, enraptured, Your majesty, Shepherd, quiet streams, walking, abiding through the valley, never fearing, always with me, Home, dwelling, forever, You, my deepest Love.
Divinely-inspired encouragement.
Hebrews.
Expected bigger, greater things from You.
Expecting spiritual maturity and growth in me.
Becoming familiar again with Your voice.
Identifying and addressing things that distract me from loving You more deeply. Loving You more than anything else in the world. Learning to deepen my affections for You. Caring more about defending my relationship with You more than anything else. Knowing You are jealous for me.
Following hard after You. In everything. Life is too short to be comfortable and lazy for even a day. I will not waste a moment of it being busy about your business but forgetting Your love for me and my love for You. May my Sabbaths be reviving in You. And work of my hands be fruitful. Resting and laboring – all for Your glory.
Prioritizing what matters each day in work, in the West Side, in life, in a week, in a month, in five years, in thirty with eternal perspective. Making wise decisions without forgetting who really matters, how I am nothing without You, how I am even able to live and move and breath.
Bring this stupid sheep Home, my Shepherd.
