Ponder This

Rumi wrote: "What have I ever lost by dying?"

So I ask myself why is it so hard to die to the things I am wanting, wanting, wanting? Perhaps if I die to those things I will find true life and fulfillment and that more abundantly?

Remember how the Giving Tree gave everything she had?

 

Might we also Yield all of ourselves to the Author and Giver of Life?

Rumi also wrote,  "When you do things from your soul, the river itself moves through you. Freshness and a deep joy are sign of the current."

Imagine Watermark's idea of "living water swallow me."

Living Water swallow me
Deepest River wash me clean
And Jesus, Savior more of Thee
Jesus, more of Thee

Come and ruin me with Your love
So no other is enough
And come and leave Your mark on me
Jesus, more of Thee
Jesus, more of Thee

Deep is the stain inside of me
Deeper the River that washes me clean
I've been the one who cries in the night
You've been the Friend of my life

Living Water swallow me
Deepest River wash me clean
Jesus, Savior more of Thee
Jesus, more of Thee

Help me, Lord, to let go of the things I try to grasp and simply cling to You. I yield to You.
