Yes

Right now, I am supposed to be reflecting quietly.  Reflecting on this theme of "Yes."  I am thinking back to all the times I have said "no" instead.  For whatever reason, I cannot think of the times I have said yes, but I can remember the times I have said "No."  Probably not a good thing.

Or maybe I say yes often, too?  I don't know.  I do know that I want to say "yes" to the Lord more.  Daily I want to say yes to my death and yes to the resurrection through Jesus.  I have a sick heart.  I know it.  I know when people are well.  I can see it.  When people are just full of life.  There is something fresh about them, something that reeks of life.  They have died.  They have been resurrected.  Its such a joyful thing to see...to have.  I long for that resurrection.  I long for that death.

Renew me, Lord.  Kill the sin in me.  Save the sinner I am.

Amen.
