A Love Without End

Awake with Awareness
November 20, 2011
I don’t want to change the world
I want to be changed by You
The darkness in me is great
Your light exposes
When I see Your face
And I know that You see mine
Your love cuts through me
My shame and guilt are removed
I’m overwhelmed by Your love
As long as I’m in the flesh
I awake with awareness
My humanity can rule
If I allow it
I have a choice to be loved
To accept his forgiveness
To face the truth about me
The truth about God
I am changed by His story
His teachings have saved my life
I want to know Your love more
Live by Your Spirit
Looking back I see failure
My ignorance grieves my soul
To begin each day with love
Is my only hope
I will look forward
Eyes fixed on the Beloved
Hungry to know Him better
Eager to obey
The one who loves without end
My friend, my Savior, my Lord
I come this morning
Purify my heart, dear Lord
Open my eyes to see You
I cannot fathom
How near and dear Your love is
the other side of Darkness

sweetness to the soul

There is something sweet
A gift to all who will ask
It is called wisdom
It is sweetness to the soul
It connects knowledge with life
It gives timing and rhythm
To relationships
Another word for wisdom
Is “insight” into your soul
Understanding is the key
Respect for yourself
I cannot give to others
What I do not have in me
I will seek to gain knowledge
How to live in peace
When I look to other
To find that peace and resting
I find it always eludes
They are just like me
Each looking to get
Something they do not have
Looking for the other one
To give them that love
Both discover emptiness
Disillusioned and hurting
You do have a gift
A treasure that’s within you
Rise up and seek it
You must take courage
Find the fire that’s within you
Do not make friends with your pain
You decide to live
Be responsible for you
And give with no strings attached
You are bigger than your pain
It’s a mystery I know
I lived in desperation
Found peace in the pain
I have learned that honesty
With myself and all others
Gives a transparency and
Good conversation
These reflections came out of my response to ancient Proverbs 24. Over the years, I have found myself in “conversation” with King Solomon, the author of the book of Proverbs.
“Know also that wisdom is sweet to your soul; and your hope will not be cut off.”
“An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.”

Internal Freedom

Liberty has come
Our country celebrates
Our freedom today
Finding this freedom
We think that it’s external
Let’s give it some thought
It’s more important
What I do in private space
Than in the public
I train to listen
To the inner voice of hope
Not trusting feelings
Feelings come and go
Controlled by circumstances
My life is bigger
Awareness and space
Are secret keys to my life
Gifts I give to me
When I do not choose
And act without thinking
I find I suffer
And those around me, also
Suffer in ways that are sad
Our forefathers suffered here
Inwardly they sought freedom
They searched their soul for answers
That rose from within
They followed their dream
We stand today in freedom
Because they had the courage
To give up their lives
