Holy

Accept Me.
Love Me.
Let Me
work
in your
life.


Accept them.
Love them.
Let Me
(through you)
work
in their
lives.

Talk to Me.
Be honest.
Let Me
hear
your heart.

Talk to them.
Be honest.
Listen
to
their hearts.

Do these things
for
I AM
holy.
And
please believe it
My precious one -
you are too.

Amen.

Follow Me

Follow Me
with your cross.
And I don’t understand why,
but you can hang your baggage
from it
if you want.

Follow Me
with your empty purse.
And
No, I won’t sign
a waiver of liability.

Follow Me
and you can fish for people.
“So, we’re angling for souls.”
Oh, you’re so funny.

Follow Me
after you sell everything you have
and
pay off your credit cards.

Follow Me.
You hear
and recognize My voice.
No, friending Me on Facebook
Ain’t gonna cut it.

Follow Me.
I don't apologize
that
I love you.
I am sorry,
That's the way I am.

Follow Me.
And until you do,
there is no
Amen.

The Right Stuff

A meditation on Matthew 7:7-8


7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

Seek the right stuff,
I AM your map.

Ask for the right stuff,
I AM your man.

And if I,
the Easter One,
requests your presence,
(with all your stuff.)
Don’t knock.
I AM home.
Come on in.

Amen.

Our Little Secret

Meditation on Matthew 6:1-18

When (not if) you give,
Let your charity be hidden.
It will be our little secret.

When (not if) we have a dialogue,
Let your prayer be private and simple.
It will be our little secret.

When (not if) you fast,
Refrain from telling all from what you abstained.
It will be our little secret.

Give.
Pray.
Fast.

It will be our little secret.
So the world will know who I AM.

Bread and Water

I hunger for this daily bread.
Not the loaves that Satan wanted from stones.
Not the piece that Judas dipped in Your cup.
Not the grease soaked ones that I had for lunch.
I hunger for the Bread of Life.

I thirst for this living water
Not from where the pigs cliff dived to their death.
Not from the basin where Pilate washed his hands.
Not from the sugar filled can that I had for lunch.
I thirst for Your living water.

Amen.
