Sharing my "moment of clarity"...

kingscowgirl · #1 08-11-2006, 12:17 PM

I am not sure if this is ok or not, so I apologize in advance if this is not the appropriate place to post this...I had a moment of clarity this morning that I wanted to share...the green writing is copied from an email I received (I get a daily thought each day). the italics is my "moment of clarity" put is words as best I could...I pray it blesses you as it blessed me...

Recovery Thought:
I begin each day with Christ and His prayer. At night as I lay off my clothes, I undress my soul too, and lay aside its sin. In the presence of God I lie down to rest, to waken a free man with a new life. -- Dr. William Osler

~ * ~ Psalm 71:2-3 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

+ Recovery Prayer + Father, Thank You that every night I can undress my soul and lay aside its sin. I can begin each day anew with assurance and serenity as I walk with Christ Amen.

We serve an amazing God. In this moment, as I read these thoughts, I am filled and overwhelmed by His goodness and grace in my life. How loving is this God who allows me to choose His grace over the daily sins I endure, and yes, sometimes even willingly commit. How powerful is this gift of grace that we can boldly step before His throne and discard that which is dirty rags and put on that which is rich and beautiful because of His glory. There are not words to express what is jumping around in my heart in this moment of clarity I am experiencing. I want to jump, to shout, to cry and sob with the wonder that is my God. My prayer this day is to never forget how I am feeling in this moment…to always carry with me this grace and love that is so freely given by my Lord, and which cost Him so much. I pray that in the moments I forget just how wonderful He is in my life, that He will gently remind me of this moment and that no matter how desperate the circumstance, He is always there, ready to carry me through. He is ever ready to wash me clean and clothe me in robes of His righteousness. I can live each day in the truth that I am fearfully and wonderfully made by the Creator of all. It is this truth that sets me free and washes me clean of the sins that have for so long held me captive in the prison of my wrong choices. I am filled with wonder at the Love of this Great King, and I am humbled that He sits on high and cares for me. Thank you, Lord Jesus.

Pami...Thank you so much, it was from the heart. Of course, please do share it...that is why I posted it. It is about His glory, and that is to be shared. I had to go back today and remind myself of it, because the enemy has been playing havoc at my house...I will post more on that in another forum later. Suffice it to say, he must be pretty ticked off and scared cuz he is trippin

Regardless, I will hold on tight to what is in my heart and move forward one step at a time.

Jan-Thanks so much for the support
