Chap. 2 - The Beatitudes
"The sweetness of divine love flows from His very presence as the fragrance from a flower. "MB 6
Without even saying a word they sense the love that you have for them. There is no condemnation, no critical spirit, no anger or resentment in your heart, only love. The very atmosphere surrounding you was saturated with love, compassion and tenderness. Who wouldn't be drawn to that?
O Jesus,
I want to be like that. I want to be surrounded by your love. I want my own atmosphere to be surrounded with love and compassion. I want it to exude from every pore in my body.
"All feel instinctively that here is One who reads the secrets of the soul, yet who comes near to them with tender compassion." MB 6
Yikes! Out of one side of my mouth that scares me. Out of the other side of my mouth it is good news; especially since you love me anyway. Even though you see all of the ugliness and dirtiness of my heart you view me with "tender compassion". Wow! You love me ANYWAY!
Even though being in the presence of evil is painful for you, you still draw near. You amaze me! Your love is stronger than the repulsiveness of my sin. I don't understand that kind of love but I am so grateful.
Shoot! You see every stinking thought and attitude that I ever had and yet you still love me? You are amazing; cartwheels and spins amazing!
I want that kind of love. I need that kind of love. My heart is so full of myself, so full of my own ickiness.
Change my heart O God
Make it ever new
Change my heart O God
May I be like you.
You are the potter
I am the clay
Mold me and make me
That is what I pray.
Change my heart O God
Make it ever new
Change my heart O God
May I be like you.
