rhythms of grace

matthew 11:28-30 (MSG)

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion?
Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life.
I'll show you how to take a real rest.
Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

on the surface they may seem meaningless

v.5
"Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him."

I would like my words to be a shield too.

I would like my words to be flawless.

I would like my words to bring life, to create beauty, to point to purpose, to unearth meaning and to seduce the deep emotions of the heart that we leave unsaid because of its depth.

How, Father, do I make my words like yours?
How can the words I write hold the same timeless power as yours?

v.6
"Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar."

I am not so ambitious.
I do not wish for my words to displace anything.

But I do want my words to hold truth in them, and I want them to hold wisdom, and understanding, and the spark that is your Holy Spirit.

Father, would you grant me that much?
Is that part of your plan for my glory?

I really hope...hope is too weak a word for the restlessness I feel on the inside.

But you understand don't you?

Father may I always honor your name.
