Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light for my path. (Psalm 119)
Acts 13:22-26 Abraham, Isaiah, David, Mother Mary, John the Baptist – all were found by God to be people ‘living after God’s own heart’. Like these prophets and saints before me, being a woman after God’s own heart implies that all that I do, say and think are lively expressions of who I am designed by God to be. Made in the image of God, who is Light, Truth and Love, I am designed within the scope of creation to be (both silently and vocally) Light-bearing, Truth-wise, and Love-doing. Today will I be acting as my ‘own person’ or as a woman [man] after God’s on heart, living into the Creator’s idea of me? Lord God, help me be a woman after your own heart. I am honoured in the sight of the Lord, and my God has become my strength. (Isaiah 49:5b) Grace is not part of consciousness; it is the amount of light in our souls, not knowledge nor reason.
