...I had just started making coffee this morning and was opening the
kitchen shade when I looked up to our cherry tree and saw a little downy
woodpecker, hopping around and pecking away. Then his wife (or brother
or whoever) flew in. I never get to see those little guys in our yard,
so I was thinking how much of a treat that was. Then I was thinking
how if I hadn't been looking for anything in the cherry tree, I wouldn't
have even seen them. I would have missed that little gift this
morning. And so I was encouraged to continue to seek the Lord's face
and then to look for His blessings and gifts and answers.
I love Him today...
God, I'm thankful for You, for your faithfulness, for your mercies
that are brand new every morning. Thank you for meeting my biggest and
main need in giving Jesus to save me, to offer forgiveness, to make me
friends with you once again. Thank you for your love that envelops me
and sweeps over me like a sweet fragrant meadow wind. Please fill me
with your essence, so whatever I do today, wherever I go, whoever I
see, I am spreading your essence, that sweet fragrance of Christ.
Please overwhelm me with yourself that I might lovingly and
persistently share you with others. Keep me near Jesus today...amen.
