I have appreciated over the years my friend, Randall Friesen’s, meditations that populate his blog and other writings. The flowing words and concise thoughts just arouse worship.
And so, this Sunday morning, here are some of my thoughts:
God, you have been the harvester of souls – constant in love and compassion, willing to forgive and to restore the years that have seen waste and needless want.
You have sown in our hearts the desire for more – more sense of you, more presence in this creation, and more love for others. These urges cause us to seek greater heights. You water those desires, provide the nutrients for growth and fill in the fruit of a life lived in harmony with you.
This is the day that you have made – we can examine the moments and contemplate eternity. Joy spills from the trickles of momentary miracles and the enormity of abundant salvation you provide.
I awaken to this Sunday, reminded that you rested from your creative work and just enjoyed the day. I wonder that you watch me today, and crave for me to experience your rest.
May I live life to the full this day – resting in you.
