The Wonder of the Cross – Day 24 – Needing You
….mostly, when I sit tending the scratches on my ego after yet another encounter in the briar patch of my life, I realise that I am the only one who can do anything about this.

Let Your blood cover me
Wash me white and set me free
Let Your blood make me clean
Today….
Is it true that we, particularly if we are one of the Abrahamic Faiths committed to Shalom, Salaam, Peace are the reason for so much mayhem, murder and massacre?
Do you ever find yourself in places like this? Hiding from love for fear of revealing our fear or for shame of showing our shame? I do.
Yes, I like the idea of a life of riding peacefully at anchor
Yes, I look forward to, like the weaned child of Psalm 131, having a soul at peace.
No, I’m not at all sure I want our Beloved to be in complete control of my life!
Whether it is rain or sunshine for us today, let us begin our song with thanksgiving.
… joy of joys we discover, along with Vicky, that sometimes what we thought was broken was beautiful all along. And this has been so since our beloved breathed the Breath of Life into us.
Love, thou didst enter very softly in
To hold this heart of mine.
No sound, no stir, no sign!
How couldst thou cross my threshold all unseen?
‘Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
More than all in Thee I find:’
I love these moments, these Trysting Places, with Our Beloved. With Vicky (and Whitney – see below) I must learn to go there not only when I am in a good place but also when all I want to do is hide in the bushes.
