Knower Of All
show me
me
give me a glimpse
of my heart
my greatest need
show me the dunghill
against which I lean
the sin
I call good
my own understanding
show me
the wormholes
of my polished coffin
my deep lack
of knowing Your will
Your wisdom
You.
Knower of all
show me
You
give me a glimpse
of Your glory
my greatest good
show me The Cross
upon which You bled
the Son
You call good
Your own perfect wisdom
show me
the gaping hole
of His empty tomb
my new life
of believing Your word
Your promise
You.
Petra O. Hefner
Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24

Isn't this just what we do? "The deceitfulness of sin" it is indeed. Just when we think we've sufficiently humbled ourselves, He reveals our own folly in even that pitiful endeavor. Oh Lord, if you should count iniquity who would stand?
Love you Petra.
(And what does "O" stand for? Olivia perhaps?
I adore those kitty bookmarks! :)
