Monday Missive #12

A Poem: In the Midst of Knowing

In the midst of knowing,
Yet not knowing
All I should know.
In the midst of being,
Yet not being
All I could be;
I wait!
I wait upon the
All-knowing One
Who is all-in-all.
I wait for,
His knowledge,
His wisdom,
His power,
To be.

Waiting is hard!
Depending is hard!
I think,
I desire,
To know,
To be,
What I want.
Because I am…

Yet, He is the only I AM!
He is the only all-knowing.
He is the only all-wise!
He is God
I am not.
So, I wait.

A Prayer: Living My Imago Dei

Oh, gracious and loving God,
Creator of my soul,
Who made me in your image.
As I live this day in your presence,
Recreate in me your likeness,
Of goodness,
Of truth,
Of beauty,
Of love.
That I may not disappoint you
By falling short of the glory
For which you created me; 
That I may reflect your majesty
To all those I encounter today.
That I might bless you,
With every thought,
Every word,
Every action.

A Passage: For Reflection This Week

Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 
See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. 
(Psalm 139:23-24 NIV)
