Remembrance

I spoke-at once the words were gone
I formed and said them without thought
I wished that they could be withdrawn
I had not behaved as I ought
My words had not been trustworthy
I looked at myself in disgust
O Holy One who maketh me
Please remember I am dust
Can something still be called a lie
If it is one merely implied?
My feelings say it can and I
Desperately want to run and hide
From the sight of The One who saw it all
And how much I've come up short
O Holy One-don't let me fall
Remind me You are my support
I anticipate some punishment
Or some penance I must do
So I come with my head bent
And find nothing there but You
Your arms are tight about me
You strengthen me to start anew
O Holy One how can it be
I am so loved by You?
Most High Lord of all creation
You give Your blessings day by day
There is no guilt or condemnation
You wash all my sins away
With You I can face all I must
Because Your Spirit lives in me
O Holy One faithful and just
In You I now live righteously!

A poem inspired by Hebrews 1:1-2

Supplication

Jesus, Lord of my Beginning
Origin of all I see
Hear me as I cry to You
Come beside and comfort me
Tell me who I truly am
Remind me of the name I lost
Keep my heart anchored in Yours
Because on rough waves I am tossed.

Jesus, Lord of all my Wanderings
God of the Middle too
Upholding all things with Your Word
Nothing exists outside of You
Lead me through this present darkness
Illuminate me with Your Light
Hide me in Your Secret Place
Where there is found no more night.

Jesus, Lord of where I’m Ending
All Creation rests in You
Show me more than merest inkling
Tell me all that You will do
Speak words of Consuming Fire
That will cleanse and purify
Pull me close and keep me sheltered
As we live life eye to eye.

Show me who I’m meant to be
So You alone I glorify.

The calendar is about to switch to a New Year. It’s the time of resolutions and, while I am not someone who has ever made many resolutions, I have been thinking about the direction of my blog. I cannot see that anything will change in 2022. I long to know God better for myself and to share what I learn here. New posts will start again next week but, until then, enjoy this poem.

This poem is intended to give a sense of the relationship at the heart of God and how we Believers partake of that relationship.

Perichoresis

I wake and find

I am in the midst of the dance

Hand in hand

‘Round and ’round

Moving through

Spirit Sound

Thou the lead

Guiding me

Perfect step

Harmony

Don’t belong

In this place

Not dressed for

Spirit Space

In Love’s eyes

Clarity

Reflected

Renewed me

No more rags

But transformed

With bride clothes

Now adorned

Crown of Life

On my head

Symbol of

Thy blood shed

Love’s purpose

Thou in me

Culminates

I in Thee

Spirit Birthed

Unity

We will have this dance forever

Identity

I was thinking how often I say “I Am” and then say something negative about myself. By doing so, I am creating my own existence for “As a man (woman in this case) thinks in his (her) heart, so is he (she).” Proverbs 23:7. I am changing that habit and striving to say what My Heavenly Father says about me whenever the words “I Am” come out of my mouth. While trying to put my thoughts in order, I wrote the following poem:

Identity

A thousand voices call to me

Demanding that I hear

The words they speak into me

And I cannot but draw near-

I hear them clearly now I’m close

And their words make my heart sink

“We alone know what is true:

We will tell you what to think.”

A thousand voices seek for me

They call me left and right

Demanding I align with them

With what they say is right

I cannot escape from them

Though I’ve run so very far-

“You cannot know yourself,” they say

“We will show you who you are.”

One Voice cuts through all the noise

The pressures, the demands

Bringing silence, bringing peace

Assuring me He understands

The burdens I have carried

As I’ve struggled to define

Just who I am in this world-

His Voice says “You are mine.”

“I Am,” He says, “All that I Am,

I Am Always Ever Now

All that I Am is for you

Let me show you how

My life is lived inside of yours

I in you and you in Me

You dwell inside my light

I Am your identity.”
