Lord, your words are sweet to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth. I love you, Lord, because you first love me; because you chose me; because you brought me to life when I was dead.  You stopped my decent into nothingness and muck. You lifted me up and placed me on solid ground; gave me hope and joy and peace. You have become my resting place, now and forever.

I delight in your presence in me. I sit at your feet and listen to your word. I enjoy your voice with me saying, “this is the way walk in it.”  I love your counsel to me now in this flesh and look forward to when you take me home.  I have seen you in the hundreds of “coincidences” in my life. You have brought me good; you were present in me and you are good. I have tasted your life and dwell in your light, and I know they are good, and I love that place and stand in your grace forever.
