Pure, like orange juice.

"Wonder and awe surround you, Oh Lord

Glory and fire light your way

Day after day the Heavens proclaim

the Beauty of the Holy One.

We will respond,

With joy in our song!

There is none so High and Holy

King of Kings, the One and Only

You are adored, You are the Lord of all.

Mysteries unknown are known to You,

All wisdom is Yours to reveal

You hold in Your hand, the days of all men

All life and breath is Yours to give

Your enemies, rise, Your enemies fall

Your fire consumes them all

We adore you, Lord. We love you.

Let our hearts be pure, Oh Lord."

Father, help us to behold the Man of Jesus. 100% Pure orange juice means 100% one thing. Purity means all of one thing. It means without additives. I try to add so many things to Jesus. Jesus + others' approval. Jesus + caring about my appearance. Jesus + my Haley-ways of doing things. Jesus + trying to be good enough.

Purity means all of one thing. Dear Precious and High and Holy King. Please make me pure and defined by my identity in you. May I let go of the "plusses" I try to add to you. You are enough. Focus my eyes. Change my perspective. Take me high, fill me, replace my world perspective of longing to be loved with your great love. Let your love flood through me, transforming me and bringing life to the people I meet. Please be a refreshing joy, peace, and comfort through me. I want to be like Jesus. Father, I pray that you will make me pure, 100% of the Spirit's character that you put inside me through grace.

"The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, because the Lord has appointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted and to to announce that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed." Isaiah 61:1
