Not alone -

LORD, as I walk this life with YOU I find that my innermost circle has become tighter, smaller.

Really – just YOU and me.

The next circle is smaller than I ever thought it would be, too.

The next circle is a bit larger, filled with those who care – but mostly caring from a distance.

That’s been a hard lesson – to leave them where they are and stop trying so hard to draw them closer.

LORD, I want to be all YOURS.

All the time.

No matter where I am, what I am doing, or who I am with.

YOURS.

YOU are weaning me from being dependent on others.

The lesson of not holding space and time for others has been a struggle to learn and to live.

Still is, to be honest.

Thank YOU that walking with YOU, and for YOU, is not a tightrope.

But a wide space of freedom, Love, and Joy.

Takes a while to get my humanity accepting of that 😉

Just to know that YOU are always before me, beckoning me forward – that YOU have been there, that YOU are there!

And to know that YOU have my REAR GUARD.

Then to really realize that YOU are my Best Friend, and YOU are always with me.

Thank YOU GOD!!!!!

I love YOU GOD!!!!!
