Reasoned Existence

Lord you are so gracious.  That you would love me as much as you do, daunts me.

There is no room between us, for I too have forgotten yesterday’s sin and know this that I cannot stand anything that brings distance to our love.  I am truly the oddball, finding no common place of belonging except with you by my side in discipleship.  I am under no false understanding that it is only me looking out for growth of the kingdom.  I am certain there are passionate believers by the millions discouraged by this failing world, buoyed in the knowledge that your return must be imminent.  It is time isn’t it Lord.  Time to determine the last scenes of this grand human history.  I am curious to my role in these tragic episodes and how I might inject your hope, Love and encouragement to empower those who feel helpless, alone, forgotten.

Father, once again, I commit my all to you.  Let no other entities occupy the space between us, reserve my heart for you.  I love these people Lord, I understand that they have fallen pray to the ungodly, the powers and principalities and lies of a world gone astray.  Forgive them Lord, let me never anger for what they obviously cannot control.  Let me speak your hopeful written word to their hearts that they might be comforted, restored and healed.  Let me be the tool of your salvation in bringing them to a spot where they might know you and confess their sins for eternity.  Let all of my talents, supply, will and strength be solely dedicated to the great work in which you have allowed us few to participate.  Let me encourage my Brothers and Sisters in their work as well, building them up to be effective for you.

None of this matters, in fact, even I may be forgotten if in so doing it brings about your glory.  For I need not be remembered Lord except by you and in so doing hold tight to the knowledge of that day where I might look into your eyes and know that I have reached home.  I see that you have sent the tests to which I must measure.  Give me courage and strength to stand in the knowledge of you Almighty God.
