God’s perfect love replaces all fear
Because He loves us
so truly
so deeply
so perfectly
Those times I glimpse
that perfect love
a wash of warm light
fills my soul
Some days I am grasping
struggling to reach out
to remember to trust Him
to let go of my own expectations
But when I do –
when I sit in His perfect love
I know why we are here
and I just want to know Him
Help me, Lord
to sit with you
today

Proverbs 3: 5-6
I understand
much of nothing
I trust
God to lead my life
I follow
the path He points to me
I rest
in His grace and love

Sometimes
I think I know what love is
Am I swept off my feet?
Is there magic in the air?
Butterflies in my belly?
Chemistry when we kiss?
But that spark is not love
when accompanied by disrespect
True Love always protects
True Love always enables trust
True Love always
cherishes, holds, supports, accepts
and I will settle for nothing less

Dear God, help me enjoy today without anticipating difficulty
without worrying that something will go wrong
that expectations will not be met
that something will happen
that something, anything, everything…
Help me stop.
Help me rest in you
Help me give it all over to you
and I will enjoy this day you have made

Please
don’t buy me anything
don’t get me a gift
so much turmoil surrounds it
it’s just not fun
Agonizing issues with gifts.
What if I don’t get you something?
What if mine’s not good enough?
What if I don’t really like it?
What if I disappoint you with my reaction?
what do you want in return?
only gratitude?
thing is,
I don’t really
believe that
I seem so ungrateful
Almost hateful
Undeserving
Unworthy
D I S T R U S T I N G.
I haven’t always been this way
I don’t have to be this way
I choose not to be this way
Can I let go of my issues with gifts?
Can I accept the greatest gift of all?
God’s grace
I am worthy.
I can trust.
And I thank you.
