Life and Grace Collide

Your grace still amazes me, waves of mercy washing over me. My transgressions shoved to the ocean floor,setting me free. Free to live my life. But now it's about pleasing you...... doing the things you want me to do. As I appreciate the gift of grace more and more each day, and allow you to show me your ways, I realize I see things differently. Like the morning fog being "burned off" by the sun's rays, there is no longer such a haze. It's now into your face I long to gaze, to witness your glory ablaze. But in the meantime, help me Lord, help me not to fail you. Help me instead to come along side you and complete the tasks you have set aside from the beginning of time for me to do. Make my hearts vision clearer Lord, able to see and take advantage of the multitude of opportunities you continue to create for me. Opportunities to speak a word of encouragement, smile at a stranger passing by, converse with the broken-hearted and forlorn, play a game with a youngster and them wonder why. For this is what life is really all about. Thanks for satisfaction in You and your plans. Thanks for contentment in the Truth. Thanks for your mercy and grace for the many times I've failed and will fail you.
