As we journey together into a new decade, a new beginning, heart to heart, all in Christ, I offer this meditation to you from the Source as a source of nourishment, hope, encouragement and love.
This meditation speaks of God as Truth who, when I answer the call to return, will begin to bring me to an ever-deepening awareness of my chosenness and the gradual realization that I need no longer take my identity from the world, but rather from the Voice within who calls me Beloved. I belong to Him; I am His.
In the process of glimpsing the truth of Whose I am, my eyes are opened to who I am in an eternal sense. If Truth is calling me and loves me enough to reveal to me my false self, then Truth will enable me to do my work of detaching from the false self I have created to survive in the world and attaching more and more to my true self, my God-created self. Thus, Truth recreates and liberates me. Remember what Jesus said in John 8:32, “You will know the Truth and the Truth will set you free.” This is a promise, but as a covenant people, we must keep our part of the covenant. We must do our work.
Prayerfully the Holy Spirit will speak to your heart as you read these words and make them your own prayer. They come in obedience with the longing always that you might begin to taste the joy, the freedom, the peace of Jesus.
Oh God, gentle first Truth,
move in my heart.
Illuminate each dark corner
where webs of self still hide.
Show me Whose I am
that I might know who I am.
Then recreate me,
dress me in Yourself
whose virtue is love,
whose knowledge is truth,
whose beauty is creation.
Oh God, eternal first Truth,
You who created me in love
and longs to recreate me in mercy,
Bring me to the foot of the cross,
to the nailed feet, the gift of Your Son
And there, in His shadow
in unspeakable gratitude,
Enable me to live consistently
the endless dynamic
of knowledge and love
of gentle first Truth.
