This truth deserves full acceptance; I am devoted. I give myself totally. This cuts both ways; I can be devoted to good things, loving God, or have been devoted to bad things, drugs. But the truth is still there, I give myself totally, I want to, I am only satisfied if I am all in. This also limits me in that I reserve myself for these few devotions and accept I cannot for so many others. I am devoted to Christ. This is my greatest challenge in life. I am “prone to wander, Lord, I feel it.” daily, even at times moment by moment but by grace He keeps me. I am devoted to my lover. The ecstasy of this I alone know, but a hint, which has captivated me for several years is, the older her body becomes the more alluring I find her. I am devoted to my family, they being more valuable to me than my very life. I am devoted to the life of being an artist. This, only an artist will understand. Making art is the byproduct of being an artist. I am devoted to beauty. Beauty plays a significant role in all the others. Beauty is God’s cleft in the rock where He often hides me so that I might safely see Him. Beauty is in every line on my lover’s body, every mark, the parts as important as the lily of her whole. Beauty enfolds all mine. I can recognize the beauty of them being them, the beauty of who they are not what they look like. To these devotions, I have committed my life, nothing short of my whole life.
