a bit of the divine
something of the creator
planted within us
entwined with our clay
a spark, a kernel, a gem,
more than that
not a seeds, a crystal
something we can touch
a particle of wonder
a piece of the creator
something of God
planted deep within
the vine abiding
the Spirit indwelling
growing within us
with each new breath

Habakkuk 3:17-19
(NIV)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Habakkuk+3%3A17-19&version=NIV
17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
17 Though the fig tree does not bud
and there are no grapes on the vines,
though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no food,
though there are no sheep in the pen
and no cattle in the stalls,
18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord,
I will be joyful in God my Savior.
19 The
Sovereign Lord is my
strength;
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.”
he makes my feet like the feet of a deer,
he enables me to tread on the heights.”
&
Habakkuk 3:17-19
(rewritten by me)
17 Though the
mills may be shuttered
and the forests
are empty,
though the fields
do not provide
their bounty,
their harvest,
though the young
are departing
for greener
pastures,
18 yet I rejoice
in my God
I will be joyful
in Christ my Savior.
19 The Creator of
the universe is my rock
I am like the
deer, its hooves
steady on the
Mountain.
