Peace that flows inside out
Cascading into my heart
A Love that creates vulnerability
Sees my flawless
beyond my flaws,
A Love with the unending
persistent
effervescent flow
of heaven,
intimate Love from an
lover who creates destiny,

I am a child of God
I Know it!
I Love it!
I Live it!

What was the reason
you were made?

Starting Thoughts: The love that sees us as flawless, that goes beyond forgiving to see us reborn!

Early dawn’s golden light
seeps through Galilee hills
night's shadows washing
colour into bushes,
Lake washes
gentle to the white stoned shore,
morning embers
dance red on cloud's edges,
morning embers
glow red
in the fire
surrounded by stones,
fish cooking,
disciples relaxing,
in wonderment of
encountering Jesus.

"Peter, Come walk with me”
Jesus unlimbers
from the fire companionship
walking with Peter
across the beach
stones and sand
into a personal experience
deep and tough,
Jesus stops
looking into Peter’s eyes
lifting his hand to Peter's shoulder
asking the past into Peter’s mind

“Do you love me?”
“Do you love me?”
“Do you love me?”

and years of discipleship
three cock crows
hiding in the dark
fears of past weeks
joy of the last minutes
with Jesus lakeside;
All collapse swirling in Peter’s mind.

And in dawn’s warmth
the beach pebbles smile
and turn their faces
to the sun,
even they cry out ‘God',
and Peter’s soul
Softens, releases
the same chord
of love in his heart,
a love covering all times
a love permeating all of him
soaking passion into Peter’s mind,

“Jesus, you know I love you."

Starting Thoughts: From betrayal to love, from darkness to sunrise, from feeling a failure to becoming a rock that faith will spread and be built on. Peter responds to the question on the shore of Lake Galillee.

The love question and response in Spoken Word form of Peter and Jesus by Lake Galilee

In the Eyes

I firmly shut the
internal garage door;
deliberately,
The noise ricochets over
the tiles
through the next door
into the lounge,
My wife glances up
from the couch,
already speaking
Passing the ball
tag team style
from her day as Nana,
I'm loving our relationship,
"Who is this?
It's Poppa.
Here he comes"
I slow down
Peeking through the glass
top half of the lounge door
my gaze angle slanted
towards the open
blue carpet of the floor.
Already looking,
Anticipating
are my grandson's brown eyes,
He sees me,
Looks, intently
a part second,
And he sees me, real...
and grins widely,
moving immediately
standing in a wobble,
Lurching forward
as I open the door,
"Here is my Arthur,
look at you.
It is great to see you"
I stop
Standing over him,
we are both
smiling broadly
with looks locked,
heartbeats of
seeing the other,
Capturing the memory moment
alongside all similar ones that
have occurred,
His arms lift up
and I bend
Scooping him into
a hug,
Ready to play,
found...
home.

How much more
is God's love?
Deeper, vast,
more freeing,
For the restless
for the searchers
for the lost
for the orphans
for the fatherless
for the motherless
for the unplaced
for the no life
for the fake
for the don't need.

Hear His voice
Lift up your head
For the King
is here,
The God Son
sees you,
and calls you,
Opens His arms
shifts you
on the inside,
You are not alone,
You were never alone,
Loved and wanted.

With the heart
of a child,
Given in trust,
His love
rests peace in you.
You will now see with
His love...

Prompt
How are you seen in a child's eyes? Where does our identity come from? Who really sees us?
