I Am Consumed


Lord, the eyes of my heart are consumed by the beauty of your character. Your matchless grace, your kindness Lord and your unfathomable love are the among the many life giving treasures I seek in your presence. Your peace, your purity and honesty renew me. Your goodness, your wise and just ways are the life path I seek to follow with passion. Lord, your love alone sustains me for you stand alone as the source of my provision. In truth, I am wholly dependent on you for all things as an infant is dependent on its mother.

Your compassion to the weak, the lonely, the forsaken and unworthy is the example of loving tenderness my heart craves to follow. For the indescribable glory and beauty of your heart is resoundingly proclaimed in the humility of your great and immeasurable majesty and power as the God to reach out to love the unlovable. Oh Lord God, there is no justice in the words of men to describe you!


You are indeed the beginning and the end of all things holy and good. You're the source and the well spring of all that men's hearts truly desire in raw need and bare honesty. There is no substance to any other thing sought to fill the unquenchable desire for you. You alone are the source of the bounty of true wealth that your spirit brings and that even unknowing hearts seek in desperation.


Lord God you are life in its purest perfection. You are the essence of all things truly desired and the substance of all things righteous, good and eternal that men could ever hope to enjoy. There is no replacement and no substitution for all that you are and all that your generosity chooses to share with the undeserving. None are worthy Lord, except by your grace.


To walk in your presence Lord, guided and held firmly by the hand of the almighty Lord God Himself is the ultimate dream of desire that any man could ever hope to imagine in the fancy of slumber. Yet, it's not a dream of desire, but the reality you offer to any who will accept in wakeful sincerity. Oh Lord God who is, your beauty is indescribable, yet I will spend the days of my eternity in endless search of its description only to bestow just honor upon your glorious heart. Lord God, you stand above all other things as the passion that consumes me!

This "Christ"mas...

"And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,  Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." Luke 2:8-14 (NKJ) As "Christ"mas approaches it usually finds me refreshing my knowledge and understanding of what I believe that it is that we as "Christ"ians should be celebrating in our observation of the event of Christ's birth. I do this in ...

An Observance And Observing True Reality...

As Easter approaches, I begin once again considering how our God sees our observance of an occasion as I always do and also what He might truly desire of us in observance above any of our trivial, man inspired traditions . What I come away with in firm conviction is the understanding that the most trivial of my sins, the least of my crimes against God, had the power to forever damn me in His judgment of me and send me into unending torment. And that knowing this one thing in truth and as reality, is key to my correct posture before God in honor of His purpose in the event. That key being the horror of knowing that the price of my very least sin was the shedding of my Christ Jesus' blood and His horrible suffering, because the reality of this brings the deep rending of my heart in awe and gratitude and it makes possible my true joy at the relief of my sentence because of what He has done. I believe this is a part of what God would desire from us in observance of Christ's death a...

The Real Power To Affect Change

I know that my position here may not be popular on it's face at first, but I think it could be most revealing of where some hearts are - even my own, by the response that it evokes... I think it's possible that we're all partly responsible for the chaos and darkness that is constantly swirling around in the digital tornado that is the constantly hammering news these days. While we may not have contributed to it directly by our own actions, it's a good bet that we may have contributed to it by our own inaction. Where does the true power to change things come from? And who is our best example to follow in this life? Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed." Mark 1:35 (NKJ) "Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God." Luke 6:12 (NKJ) "Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought ...
