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 21 - The Ministry of the Unnoticed

Lord,
The things You love about me
Are the things I try to hide.
The weakness of my own will
Makes me strong for You inside.

You have a way of using
What I feel is commonplace,
The holes in my character
Are cradles for Your grace.

Lord, help me nurture poverty
In my will, my heart, my soul,
Trusting that Your loveliness
Is my everlasting goal.

I definitely have to empty my heart of the consciousness of me so God can fill it with Himself.
