She wrote these beautiful lines
from the book kept in the table drawer-
O lord, you have searched me and known me. You know my siting down and my
rising up; you understand my thought afar off.
You comprehend my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my
ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, o lord, you know it
altogether. You have hedge me behind and before, and laid your hand upon me. Such
knowledge is too wonderful for me, it is high, I cannot attain it. Where can I go
from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend into
heaven, you are there, if I make my bed in hell, behold you are there. If I take
the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even
there your hand shall hold me. If I say surely the darkness shall not fall on
me, even the night shall be light on me. Indeed the darkness shall not hide
from you, but the night shines as the day, the darkness and the light both are
alike to you.
For you formed my inward parts, you covered me in my mother’s womb. I will
praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made, marvelous are your works
and that my soul knows very well. My frame
was not hidden from you, when I was made in secret and skilfully wrought in the
lowest parts of the earth.
A
nd listened these inspiring lines on TV - we had
to set our priorities. God is vine and we are his branches, we need pruning to
produce good yield and then we should offer God the first fruit not the
leftover. God should be part of our life in every sphere. If we do the things
that take us away from God and they take most of our energy and time then we
should keep them away by pruning. Our life should be organized and orderly with
right priorities set and we should be able to do first thing first. God is with
us and keeps doing pruning also but we keep the dead branches and cut branches
on our head unnecessarily making us heavy. We should be fresh tree of God’s
garden helping him in pruning our self. The good work which we start doing will
be performed by him and useless work will be taken away if we try to live in
God. When we are with God he takes care of deeds done by us. We should have
deep confidence in him. He makes us nice.
