Ez 36:23-28; Psalm 51:12-19; Matthew 22:1-14

our vision
cleared
we regain
our sight
and hearts
of stone
become
hearts
of flesh
love
returns
as the Spirit
dressed
in Truth
guides
our completion
no longer
subject
to cruelty
we live
in the Presence
of compassion

Do you have a heart of compassion?

Ezekiel 34:1-11; Psalm 23:1-6; Matthew 20:1-16

there is
no partiality
in God
as we labor
in God’s field
each
receiving
All
in a generosity
that bears
God’s goodness
we shall want
for nothing
as we see
each spiritual gift
unfold
before us
and shepherd us
home

Do you experience God’s generosity?

Ezekiel 28:1-10; Dt 32:26-30; 35-36; Matthew 19:23-30

leaving
all attachment
images
and possessions
we pass
unburdened
through
the eye of the needle
impossible
on our own
we enter
the possibilities
of God
where each moment
turns
toward
of light
of knowing
beholding
the transforming
beauty
and glory
of God

Can you let go of all you think you need?

Revelation 11:19:12:1-6,10; Psalm 45:10-12,16; Luke 1:39-56

clothed
in the sun
the moon
under
her feet
twelve stars
crown her head
we dream
of the mother
of heaven
giving birth
to an age
of peace
we embrace
all in her
that gives life
leaving
behind
the dragons
that would destroy
we give
her “yes”
to the world

Do you dream of peace?

Jeremiah 38:4-6, 8-10; Psalms 40:2-4; Hebrews 12:1-4;, 18; Luke 12:49-53

eyes fixed
on Jesus
we are
ignited
fires
of Spirit
we know
who we are
standing in
Truth
we are one
inspired
perfected
letting go
of all that is
untrue
raised
from clay
hunger
and thirst
a song
of mercy
is placed
within us
we endure
with Him
and do not
grow
despondent
nor abandon
the struggle
eyes fixed
on His light

Are your eyes fixed on the Light of His Presence?
What is the divisiveness he causes?
How are we reconciled?

Ezekiel 18:1-19,13B,30-32; Psalm 51:12-18; Matthew 19:13-15

our hearts
cleared
our spirit
renewed
our joy
returns
and a willing
spirit
sustains us
with the innocence
of a child
we return
to wonder
no longer
preying
upon one another
but living
in peace

Has peace found you?

Ezekiel 16:1-15, 60-63; Psalm 12:2-6; Matthew 19:3-12

losing
the source
and ground
of our being
we forget
who we are
fashioned
with our own pride
we become
blind
to others
breaking
sacred vows
forsaken
by our self
but not God
who always
remembers
His love

Do you remember who you are?

Ez 12:1-12; Psalm 78:56-62; Matthew 18:21-19:1

in performance
we see
who we are
exiled
from the God
of love
and forgiveness
called
to return
we seek
what is lost
and share
what is found
with one another

Do you feel exiled from the God of love?
Do you seek love and forgiveness?

2Cor 9:6-10; Psalm 112; John 12:24-26

losing
our life
into God’s
abundant
grace
we turn
scarcity
into generosity
and each one
has all
she needs
sharing
into God’s
justice

Do you live in God’s abundant grace?

Ezekiel 2:8-3:4; Psalm 119:14,24,72,103,111,131; Matthew 18:1-5,10-14

child of God
we see
our precious life
and taste
God’s precious
word
we speak
the love
that has been shared
with us
to all
that can hear
returned to wonder
we see
heaven
in all
things

Do you see with the eyes of wonder?
