Convenience binds us

time is coveted

fear of being wasted

We linger not

But are

free to waste

longing

for peace

attaining

emptiness

so push more

drive further, faster, achieve…..

But the kingdom of God says

Knead the bread

wait for rising

Be present

awaken to the intoxicating story of

Christ ushering in the kingdom

Eavesdrop

on creation

as the trees and the wind and the stars with the cycles of light sing out

humanity’s song

Listen

Stop the busyness of convenience

and be

still

after journeying and sitting in Philippians I landed :

PHILIPPIANS : The Church in Philippi

 

Sophia entered

not knowing what she would experience

 

her own life complicated by decisions of men but a

longing grew out of a spark ignited by a glimpse into Love unknown

 

Community established followers of Jesus

they were bound in love, acceptance and gratitude

 

speaking a truth never yet heard by her ears,

seeing deep spirited friends putting

 

themselves second

always with genuine affection with thanksgiving.

 

She could taste the Hope she ached for

 

the fragrance of Peace flooded her heart

 

and Joy tickled her flesh

awakening desire

 

to accept Grace offered

 

Landing on her knees

she surrendered
