HEART NOTE TO GOD Father, the common grackle has been called an “avian misfit,” too loud, too boisterous, too demanding, too much. *sigh* Sometimes I feel like that. I can’t seem to keep from putting my whole self out there. God, will you give me your eyes so I can see myself as you do? Let my heart beat in sync with yours, reflecting your love through my over-the-top-ness. Help me be at peace with my design, leaning into it with generosity, integrity and kindness, even when I am too much for some. Position me for success without compromising who I am. Place me where my outgoing presence is valued and appreciated, where I can honor you with the totality of my person. I like me, God, and I’m not a misfit. I fit perfectly in the spaces you carved just for me.
