What Am I "Eating" ?

       What "food" am I "eating"? What is my daily "diet" in my soul? Do I seek the bread of circumstance; setting the eyes of my heart and mind on what I literally see? Do I take, and chew on, limited provisions that can change if not good? What is my daily "portion" for my soul? Hopelessness, fear, shame, selfishness, bitterness, unhealthy appetites of my fallen nature that Jesus has redeemed me from? 


        I am no longer slave to these bad habits. I am redeemed, free to follow Jesus! I am human, free to be me in Jesus; for He restores, and His power is made perfect and my weakness! I am redeemed! Let this be my "daily diet" ! Let this truth, promise, encourage me and Jesus! Let this restore the broken parts in me! 


Inspired by Daniel chapter 1

I Saw

          I saw the child before me, showing joy and innocence, present in the present and fully embracing jubilation even in the everyday. I witnessed the fun still evident in the fundamental responsibilities of daily living as the aging youth went about their day. I saw dancing, then the timid pulling back of a child-like nature. "Dance! Have fun! Don't be afraid of that!", I spoke unashamed to the child still evident within such a one, where a child-like nature dared to emerge from life "growing up".              I passed through and beheld the invitation to join in the fun of a day, innocent moments of pure childhood fun and the call to live beyond simply "getting stuff done". I saw, recognized it, and accepted fully, tooting the horn of "I see you, and I'll join in such welcoming time of play", allowing my inner child to "come out and play" for a while.
