Valley Shadows

Valley shadows
dark tangling
chasing my life
Long and thin grey
stretching out
Past patches
tendrils of decisions
shifting with the sun
reaching out to trip
bring me down
on my knees,
And in that position
I am ready to give up…

Give up to
God the highest praise,
Look up, 
for God is good in every
Place
Circumstance 
for God is glorious in every
Valley
Moment.

Only this God
the resurrection Son Jesus  
Can, Has restored time
for me to be fully me,
for you to be fully you,
I rise up smiling
Sunlight dancing
across my eyes
Sunshine dancing
in my soul.

Starting Thoughts:
Can we find the God who is good in both the valleys and the mountain top experiences in our lives? If the love nature of God never changes, if the grace of Christ is forever, can we walk the journey in the Spirit drawing closer to God?

Honour

Honour 
Shakes self
Opens self 
Sees others
Acknowledges truly - others 
Places others
Sees hopes
Brings favour to all.

Honour today.

Father in heaven 
Honoured is your name
Honoured with my life
Honoured - worthy is the King.

Starting Thoughts:
Learning to bring out the gold in others, being able to freely honour them, is a way we can bless both the body of Christ and those yet to know Christ. If God is the good in this world, and we acknowledge the good in others, are we in fact honouring Christ?

Hope

Do we
cling to vague human hopes,
puffs of imagination,
dreams that float
on crisp helium balloons
and rupture,
leaving only hearts
that leak and hurt
staining black
the dimming world
with a darkness that voids us.

Where is the heart floating?
Has it burst?
Questions of destiny and fear
drift in dust.

There on the same
edges of reality and death,
edges of earth and heaven,
in that space
we could desire
something different,
we could stand knowing
the stinging hope of eternity
from God,
a hope for the now
and beyond,
a hope that cuts
through collapsing confusions
calling a clearness
into today’s moments,

a hope based
in a vast powerful
intimate transforming love.

Choose now.

Lift your faith
speak to your spirit
the words of life and love
Choose the hope
of Christ
becoming the People of the Messiah,
the deeply desired
the completely known
the radically redeemed.

Christ's hope
Will infuse your steps
you will walk God's path
leaving behind anointed footprints
of everything done with God,
kingdom possibilities made real
kingdom treasures
that will stand and remain forever.

All things turned for good.

So choose
Believe in expectation.
The Jesus hope.
