For My Friend
Ah, YHVH, you pour out Your Grace: never ending upon the lost and found.
You restore the found to The Shelter of the Most High: Yourself.
You lift up the tired with Joy unspeakable: they dance and sing with new Energy!
Ah, Bless You Holy Spirit for Your love! Ah, Your Grace!
Your mercies are beautiful! They resound of Your Holy Characteristics!
You call the prodigals Home; finding them in the darkness they once called "light."
But, the "call" is forever: the evidence of our humility and surrender to Your Control!
Let my "will" be crushed by Your perfect Will: the ending if ego in self: You are my Way!
Oh hear with spiritual ears my Creations, says the Lord: I delight in you!
See what I call you! Hear of it! Look at My Son, says the Lord!
Look only at Me, even if just for awhile: Oh Rest In Me... even just now!
The silence is loud with my Presence, says the Lord!
Find me! Seek me and you will find Me! I have promised this!
I hold onto my confessions, dear Lord, in all Heaven and Earth:
I am Your child, "I believe in You," your love for Me is great through Your Son:
You erase my iniquity and shame each morning!
Oh! Son rise on me! Hear my laments and praises of honor to You!
What can "separate us" from one another?
The Light did arrive, has arrived, and is here now: forever more!
Never absent: the Father of Lights!
Abba, Father, hear our cries for Your Love: nothing can truly satisfy like Your warming Presence!
Rescue us from our human distresses in the weakness of the corrupt flesh: it's ego.
We cry at how we have rebelled: Knowing and unknowing.
We return by Your sorrow! Ah to repent is Holy Bliss!
You see us and understand us... even before we were borne by wings of Grace to You!
For not even an atom goes unnoticed by Your careful attention.
Oh be Light to us: We need you more than we can ever know!
I will rejoice in the Lord, my Salvation!
Sing "Holy, Holy, Holy! None is like the Lord!"
Welcome the tears of His Presence: these are evidence of a Visitation by His Son:
".... Do you not know Jesus is in you?"
Barukh atah Adonai
In Jesus Name, Amen
