Openings … Haven

 

Haven’t seen much of you lately in my life,

Seems like you have taken the summer off,

And let all these others disturb my peace.

Or has not noticing become my issue.

And you are there, forever, just waiting.

 

Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples,
“I have seen the Lord,”

Gospel of John

Openings … Willing Servant?

 

Sometimes we want to retreat into ourselves,

Not for peace, but because we are not brave.

when asked to lead, we wither as if a plant starved of water,

shriveling in a bright sun, “shouting don’t chose me”.

Reach deep today for that love God shows that you can lead others.

 

“Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh
and lead the children of Israel out of Egypt?”

Book of Exodus

Openings … The Day’s Beginning

Sometimes the day starts early, and seems your enemies even earlier.

However, fear not for your day or those

Who would destroy your peace.

They cannot fight the force of love,

Or your trust in God.

 

Our help is in the name of the Lord.

Psalm 124
