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
your goodness
mercy
and kindness
faithful
even as the earth quakes
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?

1 Cor 15:1-8; Psalm 19:2-3,4-5; John 14:6-14

day pours out
the word to day
and night to night
imparting knowledge
to our minds
and heart
we see
the way
of Truth
and the light
of God’s love
and goodness
believing
we follow
asking in the name
of Truth
that healing
and peace
may come
to all the earth

Do you see the light of God’s goodness and love?
Do you experience God’s healing and peace?

Acts 11: 19-26; Psalm 87: 1-3, 4-5, 6-7; John 10: 22-30

hearing
God’s voice
we are filled with
the Holy Spirit
we see
the grace of God
and rejoice
encouraging
one another
to firmness
of heart
working
for love
justice
and mercy
in God’s name

Where do you see the grace of God?
How do you hear God’s voice

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
from the dead
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 the Holy Spirit
being touched
deeply
by God
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?

Acts 8: 26-40; Psalm 66:3-20; John 6: 44-51

seeking
an answer
I hear
a name
above all others
that calls
to me
from one
who gives
life to my soul
living bread
eternal vision
Jesus
He says
“follow”
baptized
in his living water
I follow
the Holy Spirit
given as my guide

How do you Understand?
How do we know what you are reading?
Who will instruct you?

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

Where do you experience God’s tremendous love?
Will you let your eyes and ears be opened?
