It is inexcusable that I let my tank run so low when He is always "standing at the door and knocking..."
I have decided to do everything that I can to make it happen.
I am a worshipper by nature. I feel like a fish out of water when I do not plunge into worship fairly regularly.
I guess there's no better way to say it, I just NEED Jesus!
Obvious. Simple. Attainable.
My best moments lately with Him have come during my morning shower. He calls me gently to His feet. He speaks soft words of affirmation.
He allows me to wash His feet. I feel so alive. I feel purposeful.
My breath is meaningless without the underlying current of praise to Him Who has breathed into my soul and made me live.
So with each breath I take, Lord Jesus, please let me be filled with an aroma of worship for You.
I have fallen from a regular pattern of mindfulness of Your place in my life.
I need Your gentle nudge as I begin anew with a worshipful heart.
I don't want to wade ankle deep in Your stream. I don't want to take a gulp only once I become parched. I want a steady flow - which is always accessible - So much that what spills off of me drenches those around in an atmosphere of most holy worship.
Let Praises of Your people encircle Your Throne.
Let the majesty within Your creation remind me of that for which I was created.
Each time I see something wonderful that You have made, I will choose to praise You for it.
When I see the innocent love in my children's eyes, Lord let me emulate it.
With each passing moment that I am given to worship You, Father, I yearn to soak the hem of Your garment with my unashamed tears.
Let the words of my mouth be Yours - wise and edifying.
Let the deeds of my hands be directed in honesty and humility.
Let the thoughts in my mind be Yours - pure and holy.
All things that are not from You, Lord, I ask that those things be purged far from Your dwelling place.
I am Your servant. A vessel molded to pour Your love through. I want to rise to that potential in You. I live to earnestly adore You. Amen.
This is the type of post I would not normally post but I need a certain level of accountability.
I need to honor my pledge. So I have to put it out there.

I am honored, as well as He, that you post your pledge for the world to see. What a blessing you are to Him and me that you are poured out as a fragrant offering to Him. You always inspire me and all who know you. I love you dearly.

praying for you..
you have such a sweet heart. you're so aware of the constant presence of Jesus and you remind others of it.
it's most refreshing.
Beautiful! There is a song I love - "I'll Worship Only At The Feet Of Jesus". It blesses my soul through and through!
Love you my girl!
I love your heart.
"...a broken and contrite heart, oh God, you will not despise..." Psalm 51:17
I love YOU!!!
