glimpses

As a part of my life, a part of my heart, is being stripped away, day by day....Lord, draw me close.  Fill that empty spot.  Repair me, fill me with your everlasting wholeness and healthiness of spirit and heart.  The places where I latched on mistakenly to something that did not help my healing or growth, but only hindered it and shadowed my  view of my everlasting Father, Healer, Protector...cleanse me of those, Jesus.  Rush in with the power of your spirit to renew and empower me to walk humbly in the paths you have laid out for me to follow.  A path that is bathed in your warm sunlight, delighting in new life and the fullness of a healthy heart.  Thank you, Jesus, for these glimpses of good things to come.

"For now we see through a glass, darkly, but then face to face."
1 Cor. 13:12

"For I have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear, but I have received the spirit of adoption by whom I cry out, "Abba, Father'."  Rom. 8:15

"Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides you.  My flesh and my heart fail; but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."   Ps. 73:25, 26

"Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.  So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen.  For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."  2 Cor. 4:16-18
