Welcome!



I finally decided to do an in-depth study of Oswald Chambers’ “My Utmost for His Highest” because my husband recommended it without reservation. My husband is very intelligent and well read and, while I am no slouch in those departments, I usually prefer lighter fare. “My Utmost for His Highest” is anything but light, so as I read each daily devotional, I process it through my poetry. The purpose of the book is to help people to get closer to God and I really want that closer relationship. I want to share my unique perspective on each day’s selection plus some of my other poems and insights.

August 16 – Does He Know Me. . .?

Lord, I have the doctrine.
I know it in my sleep
But without a touch from You,
It isn’t worth a peep.

You know when I am stubborn
And sad, riddled with doubt.
You don’t pull away from me,
My Lord, You just reach out.

Lord, I’ve denied Your power
To make myself seem strong
But You look beyond my words,
You love me all along.

You know me, Lord, so very well
My weaknesses and flaws
But You still love me ceaselessly.
I know it’s just because.

This is a very good chapter to read as I anticipate my surgery tomorrow (which is today as I am writing Monday's entry on Sunday night).  It's always good to think about how well God knows us.  I know He loves me and is in control of whatever happens in the operating room.   I am in good hands.  God Bless You.
