Acts 6: 1-7; Psalm 33; 1 Peter 2: 4-9; John 14: 1-12

knowing
believing
hearing
His word
living
His word
we become
the living stones
built into
a spiritual home
we are one
of many rooms
home to Him
home in Him
we rejoice
in God’s steadfast love
we breathe
His spirit
and wisdom
we walk
the earth
full of His love
and justice
becoming His melody
easing
the world’s famine
we are fed
set free
saved
from death

Are you filled with His spirit and wisdom?
Where is your spiritual home?
How does He set you free?

Acts 12:44-52; Psalm 98: 1-4; John 14:7-14

looking into
the eternal moment
we see
God’s love
and goodness
unyielding
and persistent
feeding
mercy and forgiveness
answering
our prayers
for compassion
kindness
and generosity
in each heart
freed Spirit
the seed of Christ
becomes
the tree of life
we rejoice
in a new song
of Love

What do you see in the eternal moment?

Acts 13:26-33; Psalm 2:6-11; John 14: 1-6

do not
let your heart
be troubled
you who know
and serve God
who in humbleness
see the path
set before you
by the one
who came
to save
there
is your
dwelling place
your home
in goodness
and loving-kindness

By what is your heart troubled?
Do you see the path set before you?
Where do you find your dwelling place?

Acts 13: 13-25; Psalms 89: 2-3, 21-22; 25-27; John 13: 16-20

as morning light
dawns
we sing of
God’s goodness
mercy
and kindness
faithful
even as the earth quakes
and disease and wars ravage
for we know you
and you know us
a presence
among us
calling us
to vigilance
guiding us
to the path
of life
and love
that we seek
heeding your warnings
of betrayal
we stay
with you

Of what goodness do you sing?

Acts 12:24-13:5; Psalm 67:2-8; John 12:44-50

responding to
the world’s longing
for peace
and light
and love
we are sent forth
by the Holy Spirit
spreading
and growing
God’s love
and compassion
across the earth
to those
who are ready
for a way
out of the darkness
of war
and deceit
by placing
our trust in God
and Truth

How do you spread God’s love and compassion?

Acts 11:19-26; Psalm 87:1-7; John 10:22-30

with firmness
of heart
we put all
of our faith
in God
trusting in
the love
that is calling us
we welcome
every moment
as God’s grace
and let go
of our own programs
for happiness
and listen to
His voice

What are your programs for happiness?
What are God’s?

Acts 11:1-18; Psalm 42:2-4; John 10:11-18

dreams
and visions
open our minds
to all that is
of God
nothing created
is profane
but ill intent–
with our soul
in longing
we hear His voice
and open our lives
to a love
that endures
laid down
and taken up
we enter
the joy
of the living God

Do you listen to your dreams?
Do you hear Gods’ voice?

Acts 2: 14: 36-41; Psalm 23: 1-6; 1 Peter 2: 20-25; John 10: 1-10

we hear
his voice
we turn
and know
the way
guardian
of our souls
we follow
paths to life
safe
from those
that would
steal our life
we are given
safe passage
verdant pasture
restful waters
even in darkness
we have no fear
for courage
guides us
goodness
and kindness
follow us
passing through
the open gate
we leave
behind
all that is called sin
and enter
God’s will
that is love

Do you hear and know his voice?
Do you follow?

Acts 9:31-42; Psalm 116:12-17; John 6:60-69

raised up
from all
that is dead in us
by the Spirit
of Life
we embrace
the goodness
of God
and share
what we have been given
being occupied
with good deeds
from God’s
deep source
of love
and abundance

How does the Spirit bring you Life?

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

stopped
in the bright light
of awareness
our life
is questioned
in every possible way
our searching
our relationship
to others
ourselves
to Spirit
being touched
deeply
by the Other
by our Being
it is as though
scales fall from our eyes
and we awaken
from a dream
no longer alone
or apart
but a part
of a living
loving
whole

Have you experienced a bright light of awareness of your place in God?
