Truly Open – v3

Only in Christ’s action

in His loving example

in the timing of God

only by the Spirit’s moving

are we truly open, ready,

for the message of God

His call upon our lives

All else clouded, murky

bound by human understanding

slogging through the miry clay

in the walk of our lives

needing God’s discernment

on which way to go

the Way He has planned for us

so long, long ago

Truly Open

http://raymondafoss.blogspot.com/2011/09/truly-open.html

Luke 24:45

“Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,” (KJV)

-----------------------

Coming to Christ on the Way to the Cross

Not on the Emmaus Road

Christ coming upon the disciples

the risen Christ, Easter morning

comforting their troubled souls

We are coming to Christ

joining him, walking with our master

choosing to follow the Christ

on the way to the cross

In this season of Lent

slowing our pace,

conformed to our savior

walking with the Christ

Where he will lead us

what we will learn on the way

trusting in our savior

through the narrow gate to God
