Sink Deep

Monday Missive #40

A Poem: Sink Deep

Sink deep into the Lover of Your Soul,
Master of all relationships.
Know His perfect love;
Beyond performance,
Beyond conditions,
Beyond boundaries.
Let Him love you as you are,
Let Him love you completely.
 
Sink deep into God Most High,
Creator of eternity,
Sustainer of all.
Depend upon His nourishment,
Depend upon His guidance.
Depend on His refreshing,
Let Him give life beyond breathing,
Let Him give life completely.
 
Sink deep into Mercy,
Sink deep into Grace.
Sink deep into Magnificence,
Sink deep into Majesty.

A Prayer: Settling into your Presence

Creator of all things,
Let me settle into your presence
Which surrounds me on every side;
For you are all in all.
There is no place in this world
Where you are not present.
Your majesty, truth, and beauty
Is everywhere;
For all to see.
Yet, you make yourself
Known to me!
Through the presence of
Your Spirit in my life.
Let me settle into that truth,
Let me settle into that beauty,
Let me settle into you.

A Passage: For Reflection

l keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful one see decay. You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand. (Psalm 16:8-11 NIV)
