Bring it down to now, then abide there. Have no worries about the future, no regrets about the past. Just do what needs doing. Do it now.
“Be where you are.” Ecc.9 Conversations Within” ts Sep 26, 2026
Just me trying to be honest with God.
“What God desires is here [points to head] and here [points to heart] and what you decide to do every day, you will be a good man - or not.” Hospitaller (Kingdom of Heaven)
God’s kingdom is discovered, not only where God’s will is desired, but lived out in attitude and actions. And what is God’s will? Transferring our trust from self to Jesus of course. The good news is that believing in Him is very good news for us.
“For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.” Jesus Conversations Within” ts
“To wake up each morning is a precious privilege—to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.” Marcus Aurelius
The threads of my life began in the Weaver's mind before I was conceived in my mother’s womb. How precious His works, how precious is life. Every thread, every moment, of my life is not only known to Him, but purposefully designed so that I might experience His glory--His infinite value.
“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Ps.113 Conversations Within” ts
Save your fork!
We use the expression “Save your fork” at the dinner table to announce that “something good is yet to come.” When we sit “God’s right hand” we sit in His favor where blessings abound, and dessert is always served at His table.
“You have made known to me the path of life and at Your right hand are pleasures forever.” Ps.
”It would seem that our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us. C. S. Lewis
I want my desires for lasting joy to remain center stage when I choose. I often trade it away for lesser pleasures only to find that what I get in return doesn’t satisfy. I know the grace is there, and why I do not use it baffles me. What is there to do but to start again.
“You have made known to me the path of life and at Your right hand are pleasures forever.” Ps. 16
