Shifting Shadows

While she was fearing the shadows -that in her sight loomed larger than life,she held her back to the truth,not knowing the shadows were lies. While she was dealing in shadows - she wondered why all that she sold and bought, never appeared to sustain or fulfil her,but...

Longing I Come

Longing I come. Not to be sated of my thirst. But to find the deeper yearning, that lies underneath. To be understood. To be fully accepted. To be affirmed. To know a deeper connection. Than this world offers,with its temporary relief. To know what it is to no longer...

Peace

Let me go. Let go of me. Let me run far from here. To a place where I am not necessary. Where I can be alone, without expectations; Without the frustrations, of being here. Of being everything to all of you, of being continually emptied. Let me go. Let me go, to a...

In the Mirror

“You say I surprise you with My gifts. Encouragement at the moment it’s needed, insight to your heart’s deepest thoughts, comfort laid directly on the hurting parts. ‘How did you know?’, I feel you say, ‘how did you know God that I was caught? Caught up in the web of...

God is in a Stone

God is often found in a book But is not the source of Him Sometimes the words are insufficient And we are only left wanting… Sometimes God is found in a storm And sometimes in a brilliant blue sky But often when we look, He’s not what we seek And we turn and pass him...
