Not there but on the way

Here's where I cling;

Forgiveness instead of bitterness

Peace instead of turmoil

Love instead of fear

Sacrifice instead of selfishness

Openness instead of shutting down

Satisfied instead of anxious

The Plan instead of my plan

Ok so i wish I could say I truly cling to those things, mmmm whats the word, maybe that I strive for those things; I pray for and claim. Yeah that's more like it. That sounds familiar too...

"Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."

Oh, right.

I remember how important scriptures were growing up. All the memorization and application to every life circumstance. Too bad they don't teach that in seminaries. Sad actually.

Writing that list of swirls in my head I felt a common theme of being assured in the Plan of the Lord. I'm thankful that my spirit is drawing upon the Word for answers. Where is the Plan?

"Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

Oh, there is it. Right where it belongs.

And through grace I'll be where I belong too.
