Diet # 434

If I think the same Expect the same React the same Say the same Do the same Resent the same Hate the same I will feel the same. Nothing changes if Nothing changes This 'thing' is too big for me. Today I can choose to cry out for help, to pray for a willing heart a courageous heart that will rise from misty low living into the abundant life purchased for me. I may not 'have it' on how to end a destructive cycle but I know who does....when we are weak He shows Himself strong on my behalf. It is a very good thing to know you are weak.....when we finally come to the end of doing or trying to do in our own strength we are enabled in the grace that knows no measure...love that has no bounds.

Poem: Three Dollars Worth of God

I would like to buy $3 worth of God, please. Not enough to explode my soul or disturb my sleep, but just enough to equal a cup of warm milk or a snooze in the sunshine. I don’t want enough of God to make me love a black man or pick beets with a migrant. I want ecstasy, not transformation. I want warmth of the womb, not a new birth. I want a pound of the Eternal in a paper sack. I would like to buy $3 worth of God, please. — Wilbur Rees
