contrite spirits

lessons this week, have run deep

openness and brokenness

religion versus relationship

repentance

mixed with sessions of practical work

serving, cleaning, humble

bringing any haughty spirit low

no room for pride here

learning to love cross culturally

offering all of myself

as my spiritual act of worship

less of me and more of You, Lord

the cry of my heart

My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;
    a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise

Psalm 51:17 NIV

Going through the motions doesn't please you,
    a flawless performance is nothing to you.
I learned God-worship
    when my pride was shattered.
Heart-shattered lives ready for love
    don’t for a moment escape God’s notice.
Psalm 51:17 The Message
