after Psalm 40
Remember whose you are! Thus who you be.
And let that story help you then to see
the good that's strewn about you, often free.
Then lift your heart, and voice, in thanks, so we
might fully live, in this reality!
Know you are fully known, each hair on head,
by your creator, more than your Mummy!
So, right up to the time that you are dead,
work too, to join in his walks, and you'll see
things you could never otherwise begin
to notice, but he's got an eye for these.
Then pick your time, but choose to let folk in..
This is your own commitment to what's true.
To speak and act as True woman, or man!
Untrick, by opening the core of you,
to people whom you're given so you can.
And get to know the story, of your life.
(& since your life is Christ, himself, who gave
his to us, for us. (K)New us, though in strife,
will live this diff'rent story out, each day.
A story where we're saved from sin in truth,
not just the acts all done, and dusted, past,
but from the living sin within this youth,
to make a holy person at the last!
Who also is ourselves, Immanuel.
We would not choose another way less dim,
now "God is with us", we could go to hell
and back again, we live our lives "like him!*"
* "..just as Jesus is, so also are we in this world."1John3:16-4:17
^ Summarizing Ben's points (on Psalm 40), & our discussion:
Remember → practicing gratitude.
You are known → open yourself up, firstly to the God who knows you (already. So this is the easiest place to start. Then to his people, who might be tricked, but whom you can choose to "un-trick", by being open to them.)
Trust the story (so far) knowing it (is not itself God, but God will show himself to those who do, for it) is a WAY God has given us to "Tango" with God! → (as improbable as this may seem, "nothing shall be impossible with God", and he is calling us, with God himself, to) create the next chapter of the story - with God himself!
