The Majesty of the Moon

Suspended in the sky ‘or head 

I look at you and wonder how you float effortlessly among the clouds. 

Making gravity a laughable offense. 

Suddenly I envy your freedom and independence from the wiles of this world. You are beyond what is and above us all. Your majesty beckons me to think and dream of what I do not know

As you hover majestically among the clouds. 

Refine Me

Pockets of pain left hidden

Once discovered I inflict on others

The process though painful as it may seem, will leave a lasting legacy

I am destined for eternity 

Yet living in a world of fragility 

My dreams seemingly too big for me

My faith hinging on what I cannot see

But the master of the universe isn’t finished yet

I must lay hold and stand firm in His promises. 

Though circumstances may say that I am wasting away, I must stay

Jesus, You love the whole of me

Even the dirty parts you see

My impurities you wash clean 

With a love that is intoxicating

You will never leave me

This truth is both comforting and unsettling

I push you away, tell you to come back another day

Yet you are relentless in your pursuit of me

Always able to break through to me

If only I would learn to trust you

To live fully alive in your love

Knowing full well whose I am, and who I belong to

Who are my mothers? 

Who are my brothers? 

They are the ones standing right next to me

I must love them the same way you love me

Teach me to see

Again to see the fullness of your love, let your Spirit surround me
