Lent 2009: Day 33

Lenten Journey through the Spiritual Alphabet
Psalm 119, Sustainable Love

Pe (part 1)
Wonderful are your decrees;
therefore I observe them.
The revelation of your words sheds light,
gives understanding to the simple.
I sigh with open mouth,
yearning for your commands.
Turn to me and be gracious,
your edict for lovers of your name.

*****

"I revealed your name to those whom you gave me out of the world.
They belonged to you, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word.

Now they know that everything you gave me is from you,
because the words you gave to me I have given to them, and they accepted them and truly understood that I came from you, and they have believed that you sent me.

I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for the ones you have given me, because they are yours,
and everything of mine is yours and everything of yours is mine, and I have been glorified in them."

(excerpt John 17)
***
Dear Heavenly Word as in Jesus:
Let me be your Divine Lover
out of the box
Let me be simple, plain, empty
open the bottom as well as the top
so Everything I Am be You
