I Am YOURS!

                                              LORD,

                                                     I  am  YOURS!

                                             I yield myself - entirely - to Your will.

                                      Work in me all the good pleasure of Your will,

                                                 and I will trust YOU --

                                                        Completely!

I found words to this effect during my Quiet Time this morning (by Hannah Whithall Smith). It was suggested one say them daily, many times a day, until you are living them.  I have since printed this on cards to place in areas of the home where I will often see them. I put one in my purse, one in my "work-bag," others in my area for Quiet Time, by my computer, where I read for pleasure, in the kitchen, etc. Just thought you might like to give yourself as well.

I Will Not Be Silent

 

I Will Not Be Silent, Praying the Psalms

 

I still love this cover!  That brave single bloom, coming out into the grass of the world, announcing to all that I Will NOT Be Silent!   I WILL bloom where I am.

That's what I hope & pray that I am doing. I have been planted here, and I will announce to the world my love for God! He is the One who planted me. He is the One who has nurtured me. He is the One who developed my love of words. He is the One who pours out His blessings on me, day after day after day!

During my morning Quiet Time, while reading my Bible, meditating, and praying, He shows me "interesting snippets." Then it is His Spirit that will take those snippets and develop them into full-blown devotional poetry. Nothing that I do is my own. He who created me also created my abilities. He opens my heart and mind, and pours the words through my pen. I can but thank and praise Him for all He has allowed me to do!
