Speaking, doing, and living life is such a great gift from you Lord. I am so thankful. Please don't let me trash it. Amen.

Look Deep Inside
Lord help me to look deep inside.
I am afraid don't let me hide.
Shine your light of truth and justice in me.
Slay what is evil and set me free.
Cause my words to be full of truth and light.
Help them have value help them be right.
For I am an empty sounding gong,
when I speak with out love and sincerity I'm wrong.
Cause me deeds to be done in sincerity too.
I long to be loving, faithful and true.
Lord help me look deep inside.
I am afraid don't let me hide.
Let's look together I put my trust in you.
I know you will show me just what to do.

Full or Empty
Today I am checking to see which am I. Am I like a satisfing, nurishing meal, that sticks to the ribs and gets one through the day? Or am I like a meal that fills me for the moment and is not very nurishing? I need to listen and examine what I say in order to find out. Like when I say love. What do I really mean. What value does that word carry at that moment? All my life I have been quick to speak, but, I am beginning to think a lot of times my words were empty. I also need to take a look at my deeds. Do I do things just because I will be accepted, praised, or seen? Or do I do them because they are good, right and have value because I care about others? I pray that as I find the answers to theses questions. God will have mercy on me and help me set them to right. If I really care if  I really care if I am empty or full then, I can't just flip off an answer. I must take time and carefully look. One way I will check is to insert my name as I read: 1 corinthians 13.
To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
