Jude 17, 20B-25; Psalm 63:2-6; Mark 11:27-33

by what
authority
do these words
of Love
come
through
the silence
of prayer
to our hearts
and live
in flesh
embodied
exchanged
manifesting
a will
and intent
of God
supreme
Being
of Love
bringing forth
a sound
of joy
in song
and praise

How do we know what we know?

1Peter 4:7-13; Psalm 96:10-13; Mark 11:11-26

not surprised
by a trial
by fire
we are cleansed
forgiving all
that we
may be forgiven
driving out
any currency
but Love
we offer
our gifts
freely
to one another
believing
that all
 we ask for
in prayer
will be received
through God’s love

Do you offer your gifts freely?

1Peter2:2-5,9-12; Psalm 100:2-5; Mark 10:46-52

called out
of darkness
into
His wonderful
light
building
Trust
from a Love
that lasts
receiving
an unbearable
mercy
that we claim
in hope
and faith
we come
with joy
into
the Presence
of God
restored
to sight

Do you trust in God’s Presence?

1Peter 1:18-25; Psalm 147:12-20; Mark 10:32-45

born
from the imperishable
seed
we love
one another
intensely
from a pure heart
serving
one another
from the Life
that loved
and saved us

Do you know what you are asking to follow Christ?

1Peter 1:10-16; Psalm 98:1-4; Mark 10:28-31

set your mind
in hope
upon the grace
of God
revealed
through
the Holy Spirit
in Christ
and see
what the angels
longed to see
love
embodied
singing
its new song
to the earth
a justice
alive
in kindness
reaching
beyond one life
one family
into All

Have you set your mind into God’s love?

1Peter1:3-9; Psalm 111:1-2,5-6,9-10; Mark 10:17-27

no money
can buy
the indescribable
and glorious joy
attained
by faith
in God’s saving
power
a love
springing forth
from our poverty
bearing fruit
from His guiding commands
alive
in the promise
of His covenant
we give thanks
always
with all
of our heart
for all things
are possible
in God

Do you experience God’s love springing forth from your poverty?

Prov 8:22-31; Psalm 8: 4-9; Romans 5:1-5; John 16:12-15

before all
she was there
wisdom
first born
of His ways
pouring forth
in creation
we are in awe
and delight
even in our affliction
her wisdom
brings endurance
to virtue
in our life
of hope
we live
in her peace
and we will not
be disappointed
Spirit of Truth
poured out
into our hearts
more and more
we see the love
of God
foundation
of all that is
and here
we shall live
with God
forever

Do you let Wisdom reveal herself to you?
Have you opened your hearts to Truth?
Do you live in Her?

James 5:9-12; Psalm 103:1-12; Mark 10:1-12

drawn
into
the love
of the One
we are healed
and redeemed
by compassion
and kindness
seeing
no other
we live
in faithfulness
to Truth
where yes
means yes
and no
means no
and there
is no other need

Have you been embraced by the One True Love?

James 5:1-6; Psalm 49:14-20; Mark 9:41-50

our wealth
is nothing
in the eyes
of one
who only
sees
our love
and goodness
trusting in
our possessions
we lose our way
trusting
in God
we find it
and give
ourselves
to Life
to our children
and to those
in need

Do you give yourself to Love?

James 4:13-17; Psalm 49:2-3,6-11; Mark 9:38-40

this one
moment
a gift
that no money
can buy
or redeem
given
for love
of God
and one
another
we give thanks
and cherish
all
doing
what is right
in His name

Do you experience the gift of this moment?
