Do I only worship Him for the purpose of giving Him what He’s due?
Knowing full well that He will indeed, do I have subtle wrong motives of manipulating Him? Luring His to me for the purpose of blessing a place, manifesting healing, making me feel good?
What is the purpose in my heart for coming to this place of gathering?
It is a good desire to be healed, blessed, encouraged –
But this must not be my motive as I worship..then it’s just manipulation for my purpose.
He is so loving, so in love with us, that He will allows me to do this.
So I will purpose to have this in my heart:
I worship You because You are the love of my life,
Because You are my God.
If you never do anything else in my life, it is of no consequence to my worship.
I just want to give you a drink and a place to rest.
I come seeking nothing.
I come only to give to YOU.
You do not need to tangibly manifest for me to continue to love You.
You do not need to speak, or to encourage or to bless the gatherings in any way..
The only thing I ask is that You please just receive my love please.

Pirates and Good Friday
Today is Good Friday. I think it should be called Dark Friday as a reminder that it was Dark when Jesus surrendered His life on the Christ and began His journey into hell so I would not have to go there. He fully paid my ransom so I could be free to chose a life in Heaven.
I don't dress pretty on Good Friday. Today I wear black, and I'm emotionally connecting to how expensive my freedom is...
The day remembered on Good Friday was a very long torturous agonizing horror of a day for my Lovely Jesus.
The only thing I ask in prayer for today is the freedom of the merchant ship captain who was taken hostage by Somali pirates. My father was a merchant mariner. He could have been on any of the ships the pirates have gone after. When I was 7 years old, he was on a ship that was stuck in Suez Canal because of war in the are. I didn't see him for a year and it was heartbreaking to me. A ransom is demanded to be paid to set this man free and release all his shipmates to go about their life. Jesus paid my ransom and yours. Today whatever it takes to end the wave of Somali pirates, I pray it will.
I can ask for nothing else today because Jesus has done enough. More than enough.
More than enough.
