Exodus 21 & 22; Psalm 12; Acts 4; Jeremiah 2

Did an exercise this morning where we were to imagine Jesus sitting next to us and ask Him...'what do you think of me'....wish I could tell you it was this amazing experience and yet I can't....
soft and yearning to ask, to hear and yet afraid...

comes from discovering a new bit of wetness...I THINK I KNOW TRUTH....and realizing all I really know is what I KNOW or assume or think I know...

desiring to be the turtle w/o her shell...asking for that kind of stuff makes this kind of stuff come more readily.....

and then...this comes across Twitter: MaxLucado Humility doesn’t mean you think less of yourself but that you think of yourself less.
I know I am loved....I know this, that through nothing of who I am or what I have done You love me....and today praying to find more wetness and swim free in YOUR TRUTH.

Acts 4: 31 After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly....

I speak my words, thought they were yours and yet in the delivery it's always me.....to be filled with the Holy Spirit....I long to be curious w/Your Spirit....to ask and invite w/no agenda or knowing or feeling entitled to an outcome.....I long to move in that...so some TRUTHS to swim around in today...:)


Jer. 2: 32 Does a maiden forget her jewelry,
a bride her wedding ornaments?
Yet my people have forgotten me,
days without number.

Jer. 2: 13 "My people have committed two sins:
They have forsaken me,
the spring of living water,
and have dug their own cisterns,
broken cisterns that cannot hold water.

Acts 4: 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: "Rulers and elders of the people! 9If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a cripple and are asked how he was healed, 10then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. 11 He is " 'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone. 12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."
