rejoice

My story is already written, and the lines have fallen in pleasant places. To me You have given promises untold which are soon to arrive; new levels of rejoicing and revelation. Show me the purpose of my days and reveal the joy of Your work. Open doors that can't be closed. Close doors that shouldn't be opened. Teach me Your mind. My times are in Your hands. I treasure and long for no one else more than You. I will not fear the uncertainty of the future, but will rejoice in the magnitude of Your power to save, deliver and capture the hearts of Your people.

I thirst for You. I long for Your rule. Let Your dominion reign. Let joy reign. Let peace prevail in me. I will not be afraid. Purify me to receive all that You have for me. I thirst for You more than I thirst for earthly love.

Happy Birthday, Ann!
