Seven Hundred Seventy Seven Words Our All In All

"Offer this to Me, your "everything" please child?" ... What? ... "Your "everything?" ... My "all" You mean? Well Lord this is going to take some doing, I've tried and have kept trying to apply myself apart from this? ... "Who other than Myself, can take this away from you?" ... Lord, honestly, I'm; not always willing to listen to You? I am cursed with a double mind that I have brought all upon myself, Lord; all through the many efforts that I have taken upon this practice? How can I offer you this? This is all that I know of a certain kind of love, my pleasure? "All" except for my pleasure far greater, I can only often hope, that I consistently, and continually, am finding in You. Yes, but I'm also finding, that with all that I apply myself towards (to remember, to find this pleasure in You) I still end up failing, You, Your idea, for myself, for all life, that You carry for Yourself? Yes, Lord, please, won't You carry this for me, so that I may be, pleasing within, Your Eyes? Hey, yes, Lord. because, just what do I know truly, if anything really, but everything more that I have to learn from You? ... "What do you think, believe, and feel that you know?" ... I am not worth the effort! Applying myself to my "all" has made me restless, lazy with disdain, for myself, others, and toward You. I get irritable with myself, as well as with this life. Then I take action upon my "all". This brings me pleasure, if but only; merely; temporarily. Then I'm left feeling discontented with this life, with myself all over again! I've desired a relationship with You, Lord, but my mind gets all caught up with "all " of this, considerable effort. ... "I accept this, as well as the very way that you are within you; not just everything that you offer yourself towards." "Child, I know, that your "all" offers you pleasure." "I see within you, working with Me, far, far more!" "Moreover, I can bring you far, far more of this in many other; form; of pleasure in Myself, infinitely!" ... I have nothing, why should I hold on to You Lord, I'll just misuse this power that You offer to me! I get greedy in my lust! I always have and will continue to do so, on into, and throughout our journey, into infinity, together? ... "No, child, the moment's infinite, just as I Am!" "Hang onto Me, child, we'll walk all throughout this time together!" "So offer this to Me, your "everything"; please?" .. Okay, Lord, You may have this effort but I always break my promises, unlike, You! I tend to lean on my "own" ideas within whatever continuation, of this; moment. Can you take them, as well as my shame for this sin, my pain from this right along with all of my "all" "please" "Lord?" ... "Now, child, this I can honestly do for you, but far, far more I will offer to you!" "I cannot, so no I will not be able to settle for anything other than your continuing offering of your shame, your ensuing pain, from this right along with the growth with Me away from just what was once, your "all?" "As you offer "all" of these continuing efforts, to Me, bit by bit, action by action to Me?" "Even your thoughts no matter how disturbing that they certainly aren't, for you at the moment of your release, but; just may not, or; just may; be for Me, okay?." "How does this sound to you, child?" ... Are You saying that You're offering myself a continuing evolution with You away from, my "all?" These very "intimate efforts" "all" took me so very long to perfect within me. So You're saying that You are willing to take this much time and more to perfect me walking with You, apart from these efforts? ... "Yes, child; I Am Willing to offer to you this much time, and; even when in those; just when times, and; infinitely, more Child!" ... Why am I so important to You? Why are our efforts today together, so direly important? ... "Child, you are not the only one with "all" problems, our work together will heal others the very same way!" "Just like your "all" in "all" means everything at this very moment to you, other's with their "all" in "all" problems, right along with yourself, are My "All" in "All" as well" ... Then, Lord, what else do I have to lose, but "all" of my "sin!" Yes, everything that I have not surrendered to You, to support me apart from? Okay, Lord; let's begin!

Thanks James. I love Our Lord with all that I am. Which, in the scheme of thing is not much, by my reasoning. One thing of which I am 100% certain is that My Lord, My Father, Papa, loves me with an unconditional love far beyond anything I could aspire to. As a Northerner of England I say He loves me, warts and all. Blessings. D.
