I am reading, actually I am savoring, "A Heart Exposed - Talking to God with Nothing to Hide - A Book of Prayers" by Steven James. My Carolann friend has gotten me hooked on this author. At random aka God ordained times one of his books will show up in my mailbox - from the River to the Court with lots of love!
This is not a book you rush through. This book is delicious. This is a book that stays propped up by your Bible and your journal for maybe forever and does not live on the bookshelf with the other J's. This is a book whose margins are filled with hearts, smileys, !!!, ???, people's names, YES!, etc. This book will not get any money from McKays someday when my kids are shoveling out my house.
Listen............
"you loved me so much that you put skin on your story,
and then poured your story into my skin."
See?!
20 words and two punctuation marks later and you have Advent, Christmas, Incarnation, Salvation.
One more and then time for bed.....enjoy....
"You have your own brand of love.
It's a far-reaching, far-ranging love
that invites me to climb over the fence
and step into the wide-open fields
of your grace."
Everyone has the same 26 letters to work with - thankful for the writers who use them to point me to the Author in fresh, wonderful ways!
