Why is the shepherd running ahead?
Does He not care?
Where are my caring friends?
Again,
nobody wants me!
“My child.
I Am ahead of you preparing the way!”
They quietly discussed His purpose,
though the child wondered.
Hearing and seeing many behind the two,
she asked the Lord
“What are they doing?”
“My child, they are fasting while providing prayer support!”
She knelt at His feet.

If I was passed a glass of poison to drink, I would destroy it – not drink it. God would urge me to. He loves me.
Oh, the hug He gives!
Why then, when anxiety plagues me in so many painful ways, do I hold onto it and make myself sick? Lose my joy? Perhaps cause others to follow this wrong path with me?
Turn to Him, ask for help, turn it over!
DO NOT PICK IT BACK UP!

What is that glow
which lies beyond the gate?
Two steps away,
it beckons.
Dare I enter?

Thunderous applause
reaches me from above.
Some call it a storm
but I call it joy
Hidden wonders yet to come!

This body,
Full of flaws,
Has become the sanctuary of the Most High
Simply because
I gave all of me
To Him.

The story with no ending
and chapters I hunger to forget.
My soul stirs in wonder . . .
Could this be the day?
Trust comes hard for me.
But I need it for it holds the map!
Finally I study it and gasp!
In big letters, You wrote to me!
“Fear not!
I am with you!”

The voice of change,
of peace,
of growth,
of renewal
comes in a whisper.
We must make the choice to listen.
