Section 5: Does the Saint Ever Truly Fulfill that which He/She Best Intended? (How now to better fulfill our best intentions)

Give ear to my words.

Most times actions speak loader than words. (Faithfulness/Sincerity/Humility/Correctablility/Perseverance)

Am I giving HIM reason to give an ear? or just more of the same? (mercy not deserved/the attempt is appreciated)

Am I going in from the start to first hear HIS words?

Am I speaking from the heart or just my lips?

Consider my meditation.

My thought life as it lately has been... should it really be considered?

Have my fears and doubts and business, selfish blindness and temper and lusts clouded my thought processes?

Hearken unto the voice of my cry,

My King? (To what exent?)

My God? (Supreme/Sovereign)

Intend to do what God intends for you to do... Intend to be what all God intends for you to do!

Stay close by His side and He will lead you by His stength and lovingkindness all the way there!
