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 22 - "I indeed . . . But He"

Lord,
I'm totally unworthy
That You should live in me.
Especially since the part You want
Is the last place You should be.

You find where I've been hurting
Or where my sins reside.
You fill those places lovingly
And peacefully abide.

You avoid where I am satisfied,
Where I feel I'm doing fine
And anyplace I need Your help,
You make that place divine.

As you can see, I am a few days behind again.  My recuperation took a little setback but my new hip is fine and I am feeling better and better. 

God truly works through our  weakness and surrender.  What a good way to demonstrate His power - using and building on our flaws for His glory.
