"A Great Price"

3/1/2021

 
by Mrs. Lori B.
from Virtuous Daughters, June 2015~Volume 15, Number 3

I sit and ponder~
how to teach~
how to be....
that mother who has (or is) an
Ornament of a meek and quiet spirit
~which is in the sight of God
of great price.
I long,
O, how I long,
to be that, have that, do that....
And then, I fail, again...
And again....
seemingly never to ‘get it’...
I seek His face, His holy Word,
I grow, little by little,
I see glimpses, now and again,
and know that,
He loves me~
as I am.
He wants this for me~
Meekness and Quietness
in my spirit~
I want it, too, I do.
I pray for His Holy Spirit
to fill me up with His gifts....
His fruit....
to help me be
the Mother I am supposed to be.
Imperfect as I am,
yet wholly and completely HIS.
Forgiven....
I am sold out to Him
for REAL.
I want to be
not just hidden in my heart
But there, for REAL,
for my children,
my daughters
to see daily,
how God values this~
This ornament of
Meekness and Quietness.
It is of Great Price
to Him
....and to me.
And, Lord willing,
~to them.
