From This to That

Some days the sky is regal blue and the seas are glassy still,
Walking in sun drenched paths hands clasped,
Moulding reality from hope-filled dreams,
Peace at last…

Is shattered by process,
Shards cutting tender skin,
Splinters pierce, torpedoed deep,
These days the darkening storm stirs the waters into chaos.

This raging ocean within my mind is hard to swim against.
Clumsy powers choking out the rediscovered joy of life.
Yet He comes walking the waters of my mind,
Leading me from this to that.

Storms stilling,
Grace leads me,
From this to that,
Resting in the King.

Keep on keeping on

Honestly lockdown is tough. Different for everyone, but I have found it tough. The reason I choose to keep going, keep on loving and looking out for people, keep on focused on making a little bit of a difference, is not because I am strong, but because I have an unlimited power source.

Jesus does not grow tired or weary.

So to keep on keeping on, I simply have to wait on him.

Every moment is the opportunity to change your mind, to choose life.

Too often we are weighted down by the guilt and shame of the past or held up by the wall of fear in front of us. But this moment is not defined by the past or the future. What defines this moment is the invitation of Jesus to change our minds. As we make this simple choice, and stand again as forgiven people, we are filled by this Holy Spirit and start to have our minds renewed so we have the mind of Christ.
