In your confusion
be still
and listen
for the whisper of comfort
stop fighting
against the bringer of peace
your resistance
will only rattle you apart
dividing you from the source
but if you submit
you will be made whole
in love
MADE WHOLE

When I cried out
you heard me
before I uttered a sound
you knew my heart
filling the broken places
with love
your light
shone through the darkness
beckoning me
to salvation
at the end of my life
my life in Christ began

Anger is a flame
that burns whomever holds it
but anger is also a gift
for every time
we are moved from our center
displaced from peace
and separated from love
by anger
we are given the opportunity
to practice forgiveness
and through every act
of forgiveness
our wounds are healed
by the love
that moves through us

The world
may reject you
deny you
abandon and foresake you
but from before you knew yourself
God chose you
and He is never
not choosing you
in and through every moment
He is calling you
to also choose Him
CHOOSING YOU

In God’s image
we are created
in love
for the essence of God
is love
and from this love
we are commanded
to love God
and one another
as ourselves
for not one of us
being born of love
and purposed to love
is undeserving
of love
just as we
have the divine right
to be loved
CREATED IN LOVE
