Authenticity
You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely (Psalm 139:1-4; NIV).
Father,
Thank you that I can approach you
Just as I am.
I don’t have to be strong,
Or knowledgeable,
Or clever,
Or wise,
Or good.
In fact,
I don’t need to be
Anything other
Than exactly who,
And what,
I am.
I only need to open my heart,
Whilst waiting patiently for you,
In stillness and in silence.
