LETTERS OF ENCOURAGEMENT - In the Spirit

2.8.93

Father,
I listen
to the radio.
I hear
“YOUR WORDS”.
I hear
our expressions
of YOU.
What You mean to us.
What You do in our lives.

It gives me
so much comfort.
Just hearing sounds
of other people
sharing You.

My heart opens,
and I know
You are here…
alive in me…
giving my very existence
some sort of meaning.
You seem
to GROW,
and GROW…
stronger,
and more vibrant.
My heart
overflows…
And I love
being with You!

2.8.93

Father…
we look for Words
to express You.
We call You
KING!
We use extraordinary words –
magnificent, exult, supreme,
radiant, splendour…
Superlatives –
The Highest, The Greatest,
The Kindest, The Most Compassionate!
We search
our meagre vocabulary
and find inadequate words
to truly describe
YOU!

Our World,
our vision,
is so small
compared
to ALL of You.

We become so
insignificant!
And yet,
You want
each and every
one of us!

2.8.93

Everlasting Love!
What does it mean?

Our Mortal Love
pales by comparison.

How can we ever imagine
what it is like
to be loved
FOREVER
by YOU?
