Glowing White - v3 #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #Transfiguration #Matthew17

Christ ablaze in glory, shimmering,
His whole body was glowing white
the God of Mount Sinai,
Alive, in the flesh, with us,
Christ’s identity revealed,
With Moses and Elijah,
the Law and the Prophets,
before them on the mountain…
Son of God, Son of Man
God’s victory had come alive…
 
In a moment of heavenly power
the clarity of this revelation,
more than any other humans,
they saw Christ’s true nature…
Words spoken from the Most High
Christ’s body radiant, shimmering,
Glowing, perfect white…
Son of God, Son of Man,
Ablaze on the mountain
Beloved of the Father, oh God…

We must Believe – 2 – v2

We must Believe, in our spirits,
that God can Heal us,
We must have Faith
of even a Mustard Seed…
 
We must Walk in our calling,
by Faith each morning,
We must rise in Love,
to face the new day…
 
We must live out our dreams,
our Calling, our Purpose,
We must bow before God,
in humble, heartfelt Prayer…
 
We must Believe, in our spirits,
that we can move Mountains,
We must know God is with us,
every step of each day…

Faith as small as a mustard seed – v2

Like a grain of sand, so small,
and yet so powerful, truly,
Faith as small as a mustard seed,
can move mountains, can change,
the world, our future, our hope in God…
 
Faith as small as a mustard seed,
tiny in our palms, but alive, moving,
changing history, hope for a brighter future,
living into our calling, our purpose,
We will move mountains for God…
 
Like a single star in the heavens,
a candle burning across a dark room,
seemingly so small, so distant,
but alive in power, alight, in Faith,
even if we cannot perceive it…
 
Our Faith is as urgent, as real,
as a brush fire blazing, alive,
an ember growing, moving,
if we will kindle it, using that fire,
for God’s purposes in our lives…

Because of our Faith – v2

Because of our Faith,
we can see, we have vision,
because of our faith,
mountains will move,
even a mustard seed,
our faith so tiny,
because of our faith,
Miracles arise…
 
Because of our Faith,
no matter how small,
we are children, heirs,
with our Savior, our Lord,
because of our faith,
the waters parted,
the lame walked again,
and the blind will see…
 
Because of our Faith,
miracles happen,
nothing is impossible,
if we have faith in God,
in our risen Lord and Savior,
if we believe, if we listen,
to the Spirit indwelling within,
if we rise, if we step out in faith…

When you pass through the fires #prayer #Isaiah43

When you are lost, underwater,

When you pass through the fires,
God will be with you, you are not alone,
God is there with you keeping you,
Dry in the waters, safe in the fires,
In your times of trouble, of struggle,
In every step of your life.

We may plan, we may ponder,

but it is God who acts,
God orders our steps.

A germ of #faith #mustardseed

Just a germ of faith,
tiny, a mustard seed,
enough to move mountains,
If we will but believe…
 
A promise of our Savior,
while He walked here with us,
enough to change the world,
If we will but believe…

when Fall becomes Winter

a moment, separation

not on the calendar

but by the turning

a change self-evident

if we are looking, seeking

if we are truly present

when Fall becomes Winter

a moment, a demarcation

frost on the fallen leaves

snow in the grasses

frozen, breathtaking

in our throats

about a short story she wrote in college

that was lost
