Master

I know Your touch.
I hear Your voice.
I recognize the work of Your hands.
My Lord, my Love,
My Life, and my Light.
My most exalted purpose
is to bring praise to Your name,
Either from my own lips,
or when others see You in me.
I have learned the shape
and texture of True Love,
How it feels to
receive that tenderness,
that campassionate response,
to my expectant vulnerability.

Kingly Works: A Meditation

For such a one as me, who wonders how You accomplish such overwhelming good from such seeming evil, You have offered a key to understanding of the way You choose to work. The concept is embodied in the word "redemption." It means to buy back what was lost. The price, no matter the cost, has been met. My right to the inheritance You have determined for me is infinitely secure in You. No violence can move me: Hatred has no power over me. I am free to emmulate You. I have been redeemed for Your use. This is how You choose to express Your omnipotence. It is why, no matter how extreme seems the pain, that YOU HAVE THE VICTORY and Your name is GLORIOUS, ALMIGHTY, VICTORIOUS.
