Getting Back To The Basics Of How To Live
Has your heart ever felt so alone and cold that it was as if you were on planet Pluto by yourself? (That’s right, I’m old-school and still consider Pluto as a planet in our solar system consisting of nine planets. ^_^) Unfortunately, this is familiar territory as I’ve been here a few times before, and time and time again I thought I left it for good. I must have been holding onto something I promised to let go of. This may be the umteenth time that I go at it again but at least I think I may have figured it out out this time: it’s time to get back to the basics of living life - I’m not my own.
Dearest and most beloved Lover of my soul, I give it all to You - all of my most deeply cherished and longed-for desires, dreams, hopes, wants, and yearns - they’re all Yours. I give back to You what’s always been Yours. I’m letting go of it all, letting go of me, so take and mold the clay that I am into whatever You want me to be.
The last of my earthly desires consist of bringing a smile to Your face and to hear the words I long to hear when my time’s up and I’ve done all that You’ve asked of me, so won’t You take my hand and guide and lead me through each step that I take so that all that I do, say, and think bring glory to You and Your name? I’ll follow You to the ends of the earth, do what Your hands guide me through, and say and think the words and thoughts that You put in my mouth and plant in my mind. Just so long as You’re there with me, I’ll follow and obey You without hesitation and question. *Pinky promise* ^_^
