On a run home from work the other day I found myself praying for these posts. While I use this blog as a searchable database for myself and a repository of quotes and thoughts I want to be able to easily catalog and call upon by search bar in the future, I also hope that my children and others may find value in them as well to the advancement of God's glory and my neighbor's good as it has been an exercise of personal growth in developing a regular habit of processing thoughts and putting words to them for me.
The phrase I stumbled upon in my prayer was, "please Lord, don't let the delight die with me." Sometimes I am so ravished in delight by the thoughts and meditations God grants me to marinate in and I want others to have that delight. I want my children to find themselves periodically enraptured by the thought of God's grace in the Gospel of Christ. I have found such delight and joy in mulling over God's wisdom and don't want all of that satisfaction to end selfishly with me. So I strive to put into words what God is teaching me, showing me, revealing to me, etc... I do it to document His goodness and to leave bread crumbs back to the Source for others. My goal in doing so is that others would find these crumbs adequate guides to get them to the Person of Jesus and the unending, ever-satisfying joy only He can provide.
These words I write on this blog are my attempt to put down the delight I experience in my thought life and lay rails for others to run on back to where I found it.
