a secret thing placed
something of God
planted within us
like wind chimes singing
together alive
something undefinable
invisible, in private
in our innermost being
igniting another
a secret thing placed there
by the potter, creator
a spark, a kernel
a bit of our God
placed within us
to quicken, enliven
to be shared with others
their spark afire
our fire growing
strengthened for the journey
the struggles, the sorrows
the sparks aglow
within each heart

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.
