Something I wrote last year:
The hard, heavy metal chafed my wrists, digging into my skin as if into the flesh of my soul. It hung on my neck so that my head hung with it, and the blazing sun glinted cruelly from it, flashing and glittering in mockery. Why could I not be free? It was market day today, and my soul was on the line.
The sweat ran down my face as I dragged my feet through the dust, the dust I had always hated to touch. Poor men, even beggars, I saw here and there as I passed; they were free and I was not.
I could end this, market day called out to me; I could lay down the heavy, golden bracelets of my wrists, sparkling with jewels, I could take off the necklaces of golden chain from my neck. I could lay them down and receive my soul, and in exchange I could walk in freedom with the Son of God; or I could hold my chains close. The sweat of hesitation and doubt slid down my body like serpents and blinded my eyes. Why could I not be free?
I left that day; the hot flashes of sun glared from the riches that clothed me, presaging a hotter doom. I clung stubbornly to the hand of my glittering demon, never minding where it led me. On market day I left my soul behind in exchange for gold, and damnation.

Thought for Today: Sunday January 06:
Let YHVH’s Love enfold you in the radiance of His Glory today. Be still in the Light of His Presence and receive His Peace. These quiet moments with Him transcend time, accomplishing far more than you can imagine. Bring YHVH the sacrifice of your time and watch to see how abundantly He bless you and your loved ones. Through the intimacy of your relationship with YHVH, you are being transformed from the inside out. As you keep your focus on YHVH, He form you into the one He desire you to be. Your part is to yield to His Creative work in you, neither resisting it nor trying to speed it up. Enjoy the tempo of a Holy Spirit-Breathed life by letting YHVH set the pace. Hold His hand today in a childlike trust and the way before you will open up step by step.
Shalom Shalom family ?
Proverbs 2:6-8
For YHVH gives wisdom. From His mouth come knowledge and understanding. He stores up sound wisdom for the upright. YHVH is a shield to those who walk uprightly. He guards the paths of justice, and preserves the way of His righteous.
Isaiah 55:11
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
Our Heavenly Father and Creator of all, thank You for shielding and protecting us throughout the night. Thank for preserving us, giving us Your Amazing Grace and love. Thank You for our daily bread and forgiveness of sins. Please bless our family members and friends. Please fill us with a smile, gratitude and joy. Refresh us and give us renewed strength to walk in faith. Let Thy Kingdom come and will be done on earth as in heaven. Amein
