Prayer



+

This Gorgeous Communion...

Holy of Holies,
Most Secret of Secret Places,
Sacred Samaritan Well...

Here our hearts intermingle,
I draw from You
You draw from me...

We drink deeply and are drenched, 
soaked through,
slaked once again,

Word Beautifully Becoming
 flesh of my flesh,
bone of my bone,
Bread of Life,

The aroma of which
wafts out to a waking world,
and We become
for others

Communion

for His Love is better than wine."

God With Us


"As He is, so are we in this world."
1 John 4:17

+

Immerse yourself in The Fire
Be so consumed
By The Beloved
That you become
someone's Emmanuel,
their "God With Them"

Let it be said of your life
That when they were with you
They were warmed by The Flame
Illumined in Its Light

Let it be said
that they were,
Unmistakably,
with God.

"One thing is needed":
"Mary seated herself at The Lord's Feet, and continually Listened."

Begin Again



I AM with you
Through the breadths and the depths
Through the hells and the highs
Through the lengths you go to unravel this life

You feel stretched just now
On this taffy-pull of Time
-this illusory matrix that's turning-

You measure for meaning
When all method seems madness
To make sense of the senseless
and messes

I beg you, Look Up, from your microslice view
Trust My Eyes instead
Let Them guide you

Your existence is a piece
Of Eternity's puzzle
What seems to you prodigal
Is paramount

You are a precious Word
In the story of Time
My Word become bread
My Word become wine

Without your life 
Someone goes hungry
Without your hand
A lamb goes unfed
Without your Samaritan soul
Walking this sod
A broken heart 
is left for dead

You see the Big Picture
Of which you are part?
The High Calling it is
To be in this Art?

Relinquish now your "wisdom"
For My mysterious ways
This Life you've called a parody
I Created to be High Praise

Take the next step
Turn the next page
Rest all of you in Me

Relax your hold on what you think you know...

The Best Is Yet To Be
