THE ME TREE

LORD, THANK YOU FOR DELIVERING ME FROM THE "ME TREE."
FOR MAKING ME TO KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES OF PARTAKING OF THE FRUIT OF IT.  THE FRUIT OF SELF-CENTERED-NESS REASONING WITH MY OWN UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS GOOD AND EVIL, COMPROMISING AND PROCRASTINATING AGAINST THE TRUTH, PROJECTING AND MANIPULATING IT TO SUIT MYSELF, TO PROFIT SELF, TO EXCUSE SELF.  I TOOK LEAGUE WITH REBELLION AND DECEPTION.  AND IN MY PRIDE AND IGNORANCE I DID FALL.

YOU CAME AND PRESENTED TO ME YOUR GIFT OF LOVE.  YOU EXTENDED TO ME MERCY, GRACE AND FORGIVENESS.  YOU WASHED ME CLEAN AND SET ME ON A RIGHT PATH.  YOU BID ME TO FOLLOW IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS.  TO DRINK FROM YOUR WELL OF LIVING WATERS.  YOU FEED ME THE MEAT OF YOUR SPIRIT WORD, AND WINE TO MAKE MY HEART MERRY AND FULL OF REJOICING.

YOU ARE THE TREE OF LIFE, AND IN THE MISTS OF EONS PAST I HAD FORGOTTEN THE JOY OF THE FLOW OF LIFE IN MY VEINS.  THE ONENESS OF BEING A PART OF THE AL IN ALL OF YOUR BEING.

I THANK YOU LORD___I PRAISE YOU AND MAGNIFY YOUR NAME, ABOVE EVERY NAME.  LET THIS SIMPLE HANDMAID, MADE IN YOUR IMAGE, REFLECT THE LIFE AND LIGHT THAT NOW DWELLS IN ME,   LET THIS BRANCH OF THE TREE BEAR FRUIT AND NOURISH THOSE WHO PARTAKE OF IT.
