It all comes down to this....

Blessed are those who come into the knowledge that it is by
setting our hearts on blessing the Lord that we ourselves will be blessed.

Out of my desire to bless You this morning, Jesus, I find myself blessed as I sit in the sweet realization, once  again, that You are my heart’s truest desire and my soul’s greatest delight.

Sweet, sweet is the love of my God and the love we share with each other.

* * *

You hear the cry of my heart, Lord.

More than ever, my desire is for You.
I want You…and I want You to have me.
More and more of me, all of me...
for whatever purpose You desire,
that Your great heart will be blessed.

I have no other desire, no other goal.

It all comes down to this.

What every soul knows....

Bless the Lord, O my soul.

My soul bows before its Maker...
still and solemn,
quiet and undisturbed...
knowing what every soul knows
when we let the knowledge of God rise up within us.

We are created to know Him.
He is the desire of every longing heart.

Wake up, dear souls.
Don't be robbed of this wonderful truth.
Be still... and know your God.
