Heavenly Braille

Monday Missive #94

A Poem: Heavenly Braille

What heavenly braille
Has the Creator
Etched in your heart,
For you to read?
What love songs
Have you heard
Him singing
To your soul?
When has he walked by
And gently said,
“Follow me?”
When has he whispered
Your precious name?
How has he left
Fingerprints on your life?

When you did not noticed?
Living in your tiny bubble,
You call life?
Or did you simply ignore
His soft, gentle voice?
Thinking there will be
Another day,
To say, “Yes.”

A Prayer: In the Darkness of this Moment

In the darkness of this moment,
I wait for you, Lord.
In the quietness of this hour,
I listen for your voice;
Wanting to hear your presence,
As real as my thoughts;
Wanting to hear your voice,
As real as my breath.
Speak to me, Father;
Reveal your heart,
That I might know
Who I am to be;
Reveal your mind,
That I might know
How I am to live.
In this darkness,
In this quietness,
Let me know
You are forever there.

A Passage: For Reflection

"But this is the new covenant I will make with the people of Israel after those days," says the LORD. "I will put my instructions deep within them, and I will write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.”
-- Jeremiah 31:33 NLT
