APPLE OF YOUR EYE

A meditation based upon Psalm 17

The apple of your eye

That’s what I’d like to be

Your favorite

I’d like to think I’m your favorite because of

all the great things I’ve done for you

because I work hard at doing the right things

at being good

We just had Easter, or, better stated

Easter just had us,

And I was reminded that isn’t the way it works

How grateful I am for do-overs

that you are patient

always listening

full of lovingkindness

that you protect me

even from myself

Help me confront my own failings

Show me how to save my better self,

my true self, for You

Let me always seek Your face

and know that You are enough
