Glimpses of God

Basking

in amazement

Your glory . . .

infused in Your Word,

surrounds us

in the Sanctuary,

echoes in our testimonies . . .

answers

to a brief casual thought -

a hope

not yet prayed -

yet acknowledged.

You were there.

I’d forgotten

just how utterly close

You are.

You

are

with me . . .

Today,

the burden is light

Your yoke

is better -

just heavy enough

to exercise spiritual muscles,

not too heavy

to cause injury.

You only break

what is already broken -

mending

poorly.

I’ll take Your beauty

for any ashes,

Your grace

for what is not good.

I can

go the distance,

this side of Heaven,

as long as

You are here,

d a z z l i n g

me . . .

with these

s t u n n i n g

glimpses

of

Y o u.
