Acts 9:1-20; Psalm 117:1-2; John 6:52-59

blinded
by the light’s
glory
all persecution
ends
as the love
of God
is revealed
and the Holy Spirit
fills
and changes
death
to life
inspiring
all our work
within
this precious life
nourishing
and healing
all

Do you see the preciousness of all life through God’s Light?

Acts 8:26-40; Psalm 66:8-9, 16-17,20; John 6:44-51

our daily bread
a gift given
life to our soul
that thrives
on love
and goodness
and kindness
we share
our life
and word
with one another
teaching
and encouraging
one another
to follow
God’s path
to joy

What is your daily bread?

Acts 8:1b-8; Psalm 66:1-7; John 6:35-40

fearing
what we do not
understand
we silence
and destroy
what would bring
love and healing
and nourish
our souls
until
our eyes
and ears
are opened
by God’s
tremendous
love

Will you let your eyes and ears be opened?

Acts 7:51-8:1; Psalm 31: 3-8,17,21; John 6:30-35

a stiff necked people
do not believe
closing
their minds
to the Holy Spirit
not believing in
God as love
or the nourishing Christ
yet to one
who sees
God’s Glory
the heavens open
here and now
and all is well

Do you see?
Do you believe?

Acts 6:8-15; Psalm 119:23-30; John 6:22-29

removed
from falsehood
we delight
in God’s law
of Love
come to us
through
Jesus
and the Holy Spirit
who guides
our ways
day to day
a light
that shines
on all
who would see
and choose
His way
of Truth

Do you meditate on God’s law of love each day?

Acts 5:27-32; 40-44; Psalm 30: 2-6, 11-13; Rev 5: 11-14; John 21: 1-19

beloved disciples
we know
His voice
raised from death
from curses
and hate-
alone
in darkness
catch but few
our nets casts forth
but in His light
and word
we are filled
and follow
unable to be silent
of the one who
has rescued us
loved us
we risk all
we give all
for it
better to obey God
than men-
by charcoal fires
we are fed
forgiven for denials
we love
and love
and love
feeding
tending
caring
even unto death
our mourning is
changed to dancing
while all creation
praises His love

Do you hear his voice in the stranger?
Do you forgive yourself and turn to love?
Do you praise Him at all times?

Acts 6:1-7; Psalm 33:1-2,4-5,18-19; John 6:16-21

calming
the storms
in our hearts
we relinquish
our fear
to trust
in God
singing
in praise
and making
our life
a prayer

Is your life a prayer?

Acts 5:34-42; Psalm 27:1-4,13-14; John 6:1-15

sharing
what we have
in part
is multiplied
to the whole
and hunger
is met
as impartial
light
gives itself
to the darkness
bring sight
we gaze
on the loveliness
of God
whose only desire
is love
He leaves
their desire
for King
and seeks
the solitude
of Truth

What do you share?

Acts 5:27-33; Psalm 34:2,9,17-20; John 3:31-36

unrationed Spirit
of God’s abundance
we are given
all we need
in a Love
close
to our broken-heartedness
and distress
binding
our wounds
and guiding us

spirit filled
we taste
and see
the goodness
of the Lord
and rejoice

Do you call upon the Holy Spirit?

Acts 5:17-26; Psalm 34:2-9; John 3:16-21

poor
you rescued us
with Truth
with Light
in our darkness
revealing
am imperishable
Glory
that lives
and breathes
within each
created thing
for any
and all
who have eyes
to see
yet even
the sight itself
a gift
we have no claim
only
to be

Can you see it?
