Again, I am reminded of Proverbs 19:21.
"Many are the plans in a man's heart,
but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails."
As I abide in him, he teaches me to hold things loosely.
A lesson I must learn over and over again.
But he is all I need!
It is in the stillness
and quiet
when I am face to face
with my thoughts.
Solitary drives in the dark
blasting music until my throat is scratchy and raw
with emotion
or sitting in silence -
the hum of the motor and rush of the wind
my only physical companions
Words, words, words.
Re-opening scars I thought
were healed long ago.
Purge me of the scar tissue, Lord!
My plans never happen the way I expect.
Purge me of my desires, Lord!
You provide what I need
and I try to want
what you want.
For I know to whom I belong
"Abide in me, abide in me"
his eternal chorus.
Draw me closer to you, Lord.
For I am yours
and yours first.
