Lent 2009: Day 4

Lenten Journey through the Spiritual Alphabet
Psalm 119, Sustainable Love

Beth, (part 2)
With my lips I recite all the edicts you have spoken.
I find joy in the way of your decrees more than in all riches.
I will ponder your precepts and consider your paths.
In your laws I take delight; I will never forget your word.
***
When Your Word kisses my lips
and my lips shape the sounds You bring forth,
Your Spirit bursts forth in my heart!
I try hold it there in cautious wonder,
yet I have no choice but to follow its path!

The gift of the Word/Jesus is my vital elan, and yours.
It is free for all of us!

The Word can be taken from me, but cannot be taken out of me.
