Ephesians 1:15-23; Psalm 8:2-7; Luke 12:8-12

with
the Holy Spirit
provider
of love
and forgiveness
I am freed
from my anger
resentments
ignorance
and disregard
of Truth-
beholding 
creation
in the moon
and stars
the eyes
of my heart
are opened
to see 
God’s wisdom
and love
of All

What revelation brings the dawn of God’s love of all to your mind and heart?
How do you acknowledge the Holy Spirit in all you do and say?

Eph 1:11-14; Psalm 33:1-13; Luke 12:1-7

harboring
difficult
thoughts
we create
the leaven
of hypocrisy
letting go
of our fear
we open
to God’s presence
and receive
the purifying
light
saving us
from their destructive
power

Of what should we fear?
How do we let go of our fear?

Eph 1:1-10; Psalm 98:1-6; Luke 11:47-54

the song
we sing
is not our own–
written
by the hand
of another
for our hearts
we are touched
by God’s love–
coming
alive
with the Joy
of new life
as we see
a Glory given
a Wisdom
received
as insight
into
the Mystery
of God’s will–
this love
that becomes
our saving
grace

What song do you sing?
What is your saving grace?

Gal:5:18-25; Psalm 1:1-6; Luke 11:42-46

there is no law
when guided by Holy Spirit
whose fruits are
love
joy
peace
patience
kindness
generosity
faithfulness
and self-control
guided away
from hateful
destructive
passions
we are like
a tree
planted
near running water
yielding
our fruit
in due season
turning toward
His Light

Do you live in the freedom of the Holy Spirit?

1Gal 5:1-6; Psalm 119:41-48; Luke 11:37-41

meditating
on God’s law
and commands
the light
of mercy
shines through
we give alms
from a heart
set free
by a faith
working
through love
and experience
God’s living
word
acting
upon the world

How can your heart be set free in faith?
How does your faith in Christ work in the world?

Gal 4:22-27, 31-5:1; Psalm 113:1-7; Luke 11:29-32

insecure
in our faith
we demand
a sign
turning
ourselves
into slaves
rejecting
the wisdom
of repentance
and the sign of Jonah
condemning
ourselves
to judgement
until we hear
His voice
of freedom
singing
in our soul

What sign do you demand?
What voice do you hear to guide your life?

Psalm 23

letting go of want
I rest beside
still waters
refreshing my soul
guided by His presence
to right paths
even as I walk in
dark valleys of death
I do not fear
for His courage
is with me
as goodness
and kindness
follow me
all the days
of my life

How do you let go of want?
Do you rest in God’s presence?
Do you experience the goodness, kindness and love of God?

Gal:31:22-29; Psalm 105:2-7; Luke 11:27-28

hearing
God’s word
we observe it
and act on it
in our lives
rejoicing
in our faith
in the One
who call all
to return
to their Oneness
in God
Holy Spirit
that sees All
as loved
even in our differences
welcoming
and promising
a home
for our heart

Do you feel the embrace of God’s oneness?

Luke 11:15-26

a kingdom
divided
will not stand
so we live
in the undivided heart
singular
in our devotion
to the One
who brings us
Truth
Goodness
and Love
giving thanks
each moment
for the protection
God brings
from our doubts
and conflicts
temptation
and fear
with one sweeping gesture
His Light
of clarity
dawns
and we are free

Do you live with an undivided heart? How do you love your enemies?

Luke 11:5-14

asking
we receive
seeking
we find
all that we need
from God’s Holy Spirit
given
freely
for our benefit
and the good
of all
persistent
in prayer
we see
a way
for peace
and love
healing
and forgiveness
in a desperate
world

Do you ask?
Do you seek?
Do you find?
