Thou that hast given so much to me,
Give one thing more- a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me
As if Thy blessings had spare days;
But such a heart, whose pulse may be
Thy praise.
-George Herbert
Far too often I find myself to be demanding and ungrateful. It disgusts me. I want so much to be broken of my hard hearted, entitled attitude toward God. I am nothing but useless to God and a burden to others. All dejectedness in my life is my fault, I will learn to seek God, not his answers, to obey the things he has placed in front of me today, and to recognize the work he is doing in everyday events.
Lord, make my soul
To mirror Thee,
Thyself alone
To shine in me,
That men may see
Thy love, Thy grace,
Nor note the glass
That shows Thy Face.
-Blanche Mary Kelly
