This is a re-post of when I was the other thingy. I thought it was really appropriate for now. I am earth. You take a rib, then You form me out of the dust. I am clay. You mould me, You shape me into the form You desire me to be. I am unrefined gold. You heat me, You temper me, until I resemble a near perfect work of art. I am woman. I am Your bride. I am Your queen. I am Your friend. I am Your personal witness. I am Your servant. I am Your sister. I am Your temple. I am Your living stone. I am Your chosen. I am Your desire. I am Your lover. I am Your daughter. I am Your child. There is nowhere I can run from You. You see me everywhere. You find me in the darkness and You shine Your light on me. No matter how much I run from You, turn from You, You pursue me. You are relentless. You strip me bare of my pride. You expose the ugliness in me. You see me for what I am, then You make me see what I am, then You show me what I am to You. You love me. You comfort me. You tenderly hold me. You hide me under the cover of Your wing. You whisper words of love to me. You caress my very soul. I ask You....why? why me? Sometimes I get so angry coz this road to You is so painful and long. Why does it have to hurt so much? Why do You pick on me so! Why do You lead me to this place? Why do You lead me to that place? What is Your purpose? What is Your plan? Just once, can't I have an easy path? just once? Why do You tell me to turn the other cheek? It hurts to turn the other cheek. Why do You tell me to love those who do me wrong? Why do You allow people to hurt Your child? Why do You give me riches and then take them away? Why do You bless me and then curse me? Why do You abandon me when I need You most? Why do You take me into the desert? Why do You lead me through the valley of the shadow? Why do You beat me? Why do You put me in the furnace? And God says.......BECAUSE I LOVE YOU. BECAUSE I CHOSE YOU. BECAUSE I BOUGHT YOU AT A PRICE. THE PRICE WAS MY BODY, MY BLOOD. I OWN YOU. YOU ARE MINE. And so I follow You. Because I know there is no other way for me. Because even when life is at its worst, You are there, holding me, comforting me. Because I am weak. I can't walk this life without You. I would be hopelessly lost. Because I don't trust myself....but I trust You. Because I have nothing else to put my hope in. You are my hope. Without You I have no joy. Without You I have no purpose. Because You are my King, my Lord, my Saviour, my God, my Redeemer, my Lord, my Everything, my All. Because You are my Beautiful Jesus. I will worship You. I will praise You. I will exalt Your name where ever I go. I will bow down before You. I will lay my life down for You. I will sacrifice everything...my hopes, my dreams, my ambtions. Take my selfishness, take my pride, take my ugliness...Your will Lord, not mine. This life is not my own....it belongs to You. I AM YOURS Penelope Captive of Hope

. . . Saying I am sorry is WORTHLESS without real repentance. True or FALSE ? Without a personal and intimate relationship with God, how can you ever realize the true identity and person of God? Continue to be faithful, deliverance is near, obedience must be seen, be an unconditional blessing as He continues to bless you. This time is short, serve Him well, serving all. Without exception. Know ? Yes ? ? .

Sounds nice there. It is very much fall here. Had a wind storm last night, but at least, thankfully the lights didn't go out. This morning the sunshine is very welcome. Have a super day and God bless.

Great post...it depicts well the fact that God is never afraid of our hard questions...in fact I believe He wants us to ask them; but then we quiet our souls, knowing He has heard us, and trusting that He will give us what we need, when we need it. He takes the agonizing away and brings peace. Very well said. He is no fool if he should choose to lose the things he cannot keep to gain what he can never lose.....Jim Elliott Deena
