The Grace to be Gracious...

Uuuhhhmmmmmuururrggghhh Sigh...

That is me introspectively looking inside of me, and feeling I don't have love or grace in me to be gracious, yet that is what my names mean and what he gives me all the time Grace...grace despite my mistakes, shortcomings...So why can't I be gracious to others and is it not maybe that some of the grace he is giving me is to be gracious to others...

*frustration from not understanding...

...

Ek het jou nodig, hier by my heeldag, die wêreld oorbodig.
Ons twee 'n taakmag, niks kan ons keer.
Hy's in beheer, Hy's ons Weerman, Stuurman, Leidsman.


Holy Spirit,
Rest Upon me
Make all that is not of you flee
As Your anointing breaks yokes.

Conundrums.

I press into you,
You press into me
Discernment is heightened
All muck is revealed.

The world is insensitive.
or if I euphamize it, street smart.
things outside seem volatile
far from the peace in my heart

Yet as I respond to your beckoning
you trully are my safe place
For this grace I am grateful
Now allow myself in your embrace
