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 8 - Prayer in the Father's Honor

When I was born again
Those many years ago,
I had so much to learn,
So many things to know.

Now like a child I am amazed
By Your divine simplicity,
Jesus, how could You desire
To be born again in me?

The world I live in hates You.
They'd re-kill You if they could
They fill their lives with emptiness
To avoid embracing good.

Lord, live in me abundantly.
Fill every empty space.
I pray that through You, Jesus,
I will see Your Father's face.

So many people don't want God in their lives at all until they need Him.  Illness. Death. Loneliness.  These are the things that  make us seek God and there is nothing wrong with that.  But, how much richer would our lives be if we sought God in the happy, joyful times to share our triumphs.  Many people do this.  I know some of them as prayer warriors at church.  They are so comfortable with God, they take care of all His children and treasure their prayer concerns always.  God is instantly accessible to them.  We need to remember that God is instantly accessible to all of us.
