I don’t have any concrete thoughts on anything going on at the moment, external or internal to my little piece of this great big world.
And maybe that’s ok.
Maybe that’s good even so I don’t rush through the discernment of it all.
But I did find I wanted to talk to God about my attitude lately and hear what God had to say. The only way I know how to do that is to write. So, here’s what came. Helpful or not, I don’t know… but hopefully it’ll reach who it needs to… myself included.
REMIND ME, LORD
Every day
I come up with
at least 100 ways
I could
(and should)
be better.
And every day
You remind me
of the moment
You breathed me into life
and declared me
(with no strings attached)
LOVED.
Every day
I come up with
at least 100 ways
the world
(and the people in it)
could be better.
And every day
You remind me
of the moment
You looked down
at the world You created
(and the people in it)
and declared it all
GOOD.
Could I,
could we,
could the world,
improve?
Of course.
But will I,
will we,
will the world,
ever lose your love
and belief in our inherent
GOODNESS?
Of course not.
Don’t stop, Lord,
reminding me that we
BELONG to each other.
Keep hoping, Lord,
that one day I’ll understand.
Keep hoping, Lord,
that one day we all will.
