I've let the fears
rise to the surface
again,
and wash over me
like a rampant wave,
drowning the joy
and peace that are
Your gifts to me.

I would hope by now,
the lesson I'd have
learned.
I know it well,
yet,
that's why I need You so,
to remind me.

~The Lesson~
I am exactly where I'm
suppose to be.
Exactly,
who I am, as I am,
in this precious
moment in time.

Everything is exactly
as it should be,
for Your Grace
is
exactly in the here
and now,
in this moment,
is Your abiding Love.

ellie,
  I can not imagine you being anything except, "exactly" the sweet spirit that you shower everyone with, everyone!! I admire you so much. You are sweet and gentle, kind and loving. Your love shines bright, lighting the way for many, inspiring all. You exemply everything Jesus teaches us to be. I wish I had more of your traits. From my heart, not just from my lips. marcy

You hit the nail on the head--exactly.
It is good that you can be so trusting and confident--it sure beat worried & running scare.  (Prov. 3:5-6) I know you know what this one says-keep reading it--keep believing it.  God bless you,  David

that have never been touched.
There are places inside our hearts ...
that need to be loved this much.
