Scripture: Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. —Psalm 139:23-24 Devotional: A truth is, we are all searching. We each, at some point, are questioning and it is my hope that we all just want to live this life, in ways that honor God. Day by day, we must find in us what is most loving, most equitable, most like Jesus. This text opens us up to be at fault. This text names our vulnerability. This text puts nothing past our humanity, and asks God to search us. We should live lives of repentance as unto growth, betterment, maturity. God knows us. There is no shame, there is no condemnation. Because of God's understanding of us, we can unveil what the Divine already sees, in order to access in us what will contribute positively to our growth. Prayer/Reflection: As I've stated before, introspection is a pivotal part of growth and life. I believe God's desire is to heal and make us better. Healing takes some vulnerability on our behalf. Take this mantra with you today. Allow the repetition to help heal you. Speak into the universe what you desire, and live into the transformation. Mantra: Heal me God, make me better.
