Lent 2009: Day 13

Lenten Journey through the Spiritual Alphabet
Psalm 119, Sustainable Love

Zayin, (part 1)
Remember your word to your servant
by which you give me hope.
This is my comfort in affliction,
your promise that gives me life.
Though the arrogant utterly scorn me,
I do not turn from your teaching.
When I recite your edicts of old
I am comforted, LORD.
*****

Hello God! it is Monday, and as usual,
I would rather be playing.

Remember?
You promised…
Love to appease my soul when I have to accede to other’s demands.
Love for when people’s expectations of life and happy and work,
aren’t exactly the same as mine.

…life’s tough in the west

I won’t run away, as much as I may want to.
I recite your Word by heart.
