The only Master who truly has full and complete knowledge of me is Christ.  I hope to be transformed by the renewing of the mind on a moment to moment basis.  Who do you get your worth from?  What are the sources of the voices in your head about what is reality, about what is important, about what is essential and about what is crucial? I have to always keep my mind on guard for sources that cannot really fulfill my purposes and will never know my essense.  The voices from the past and present that say you need this, you can be that, you can't do that, whatever they may be.  Remember, who you belong to and what He has done for you.  Take a new look at all those you encounter and know that have unsurpassable worth and love them for it.  (even when we don't want to)

Good Morning, Today is the day the Lord has made and let us rejoice and be glad in it.  I will be quick and to the point about what the Lord has laid on my heart this morning.  The mystery of being a Christ follower is deep and wide.  I marvel at the wonders of His love and the intricacies of this existence that he has created through the will of the Father.  I may never know all that I desire about how this is and what I need to do with this.  I will make tremendous  mistakes in this journey that we are on. I understand  this and always welcome a sharpening and a new revelation on how this is to be lived out. That said, I want to say that we must guard against becoming like the Pharisees and the early Jewish Christians who take stands to know what the 'true' way of being a follower of the eternal God. ( YHWH ) I believe that the Holy Spirit has prompted me to say let us remember that we need to do everything in the will of the Father and that means that we are not the judge
