Isaiah 57:11-18 "Whom have you so dreaded and feared that you have been false to me, and have neither remembered me nor pondered this in your hearts? Is it not because I have long been silent that you do not fear me? I will expose your righteousness and your works, and they will not benefit you. When you cry out for help, let your collection of idols save you! The wind will carry all of them off, a mere breath will blow them away. BUT THE MAN WHO MAKES ME HIS REFUGE will inherit the land and possess my holy mountain. And it will be said: 'Build up, build up, prepare the road! Remove the obstacles out of the way of my people.' For this is what the HIGH AND LOFTY One says - he who lives forever, whose name is holy: 'I live in a high and holy place, but also with him who is CONTRITE AND LOWLY in spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite. I will not accuse forever, nor will I always be angry, for then the spirit of man will grow faint before me- the breath of man that I have created. I was enraged by his sinful greed. I punished him , and hid my face in anger, yet he kept on in his willful was. I have seen his ways, but I will heal him: I will GUIDE HIM and RESTORE comfort to him."
Oh Jesus - take me there! I want my spirit within to reflect what you want for me in everything. May it be 'all that I am devoted to YOU'
