THE FRAGRANT BEADS
A TOUCH OF GRACE
(Interior Locutions)
I consider myself the littlest , as this is how I see myself:
Humble, with a little heart, with a little gift.
When my fingers touch the keyboard,
I do not know what I'm about to write.
The thoughts begin, and words flow
to compose a message of the heart.
These thoughts and feelings are sometimes strong.
Some are powerful; Some are nudges.
They speak on different levels. Some are faint—
they built onto each other; They come in bits and pieces.
I am humbled that this gift inspires those on my path.
I ask for more; I thirst for this dialogue.
My heart is like a sponge: Absorbing all that floats about me,
tuning in, refining, ingesting words of the Spirit.
Some thoughts are profound. Others are helpers
to built the Ark, to fill its content.
I have COMPLETE trust in the Lord.
What do You want from me? Say it, and I will do it.
It is Yours. I will fill Your pages.
Let your Grace fall upon this poor soul of mine.
Rest in me. I am Your servant.
Melt the boundaries that confront me.
Pierce the hearts that I touch.
Open closed doors that resist your Presence.
Of the little I have done,
let there be more work to do.
I have little, but much to give. What more could I ask of You?
You know my name, my heart, likewise.
Pour Your grace out to me, for I will be Your Hands
that unfold out to the least of my brothers.
I am weak in my education, but strong with Your Words.
You have given me a treasure which I cannot keep.
