You're Beautiful
I sing with the sunrise as I did when I was a child. "It's a beautiful day!" In the new day he has awakened my ear to listen like a child being taught the ways of heaven. I listen intently like a child so hungry for love.
The sun rises after a long night of weeping and struggling to find joy in tears. During the night watch I was running on dry, striving for any inkling of living water I could find. My neediness I was ashamed of, but yes, "Blessed are the poor in spirit...."
I have begun to read the Beatitudes like this:
Blessed are those whose kingdom is heaven
Blessed are those who are comforted
...etc.
Of course to get here, one must be poor in spirit, mourning, meek, hungry, ...etc.
Indeed, all noble things come with difficulty.
I have learned much more than I could write in just one blog post. But just wanted to say that the sun has risen and the Lord is faithful.
I came through with a fuller joy for life, a deeper neediness for God
And so utterly in Love with Him I cannot keep myself from dancing with these songs.
