Time for Refreshment

I thought this might bless you. It's from Graham Cooke.

"I place all that I hope to become, all the dreams of my future into Your hands. I can live a life of celebration knowing that you are powerful, faithful and wonderful on my behalf. I give you my heart again today. I put my life into your safe keeping. I love You and I trust You-all that You are and do. I want Your plans and purposes not just my own. Take mine and correct them. Change them so that my life is aligned with Your desire. I want to dance my way through life, hearing the music that comes from the rhythm of Your own passion for me. I trust You, I love you, I celebrate You. I want to walk in

unbroken fellowship with You. Play my heart like a violin. Let me resonate with the sound of Your heart. Thank you that sorrow and sighing are fleeing away. My life will be marked by laughter. Restore to me the joy of your salvation. Let my joy be full as I drink in Your words. I choose to be present future with you. I step away from my past and embrace the joy of a new day, a new time; a fresh season of Your grace and laughter. I see the smile on Your Face. Lift up your smile and let Your quiet joy radiate down onto my life, bringing an abundance of laughter. Lift my heart by your smile. And in the atmosphere of your happy heart, my joy will be unbounded. The joy of the Lord is set before me. How can I be sad?

This is no longer a time of sadness. Grief must leave early. Sadness must run to escape the radiance of Your smile. I choose this place.

The brightness of Your smiling, the beauty of Your grin, the power of Your laughter."
