His peace is beyond comprehension, His love beyond definition

Monday's Message

The summer wind
It has no end
Barely there
Blowing heat
So discreet
Forcing me
To face this reality
I am no good for me
Or so it seems
Beating up
Tearing down
Every inch of light
Left in this town
This home I call my heart
With no ignition
No push to start
& I dart
Running away from the day
That my body refuses to face
Pick me up
Put me in place
Lord, this isn’t my race
Yet, here I am running
Away from your grace
Trying to keep pace
With who?
I do not know
But I get dressed for the show
The show & tell
We all know too well
The state of this enigma
The stories we feed
To match our reality
Or is it a dream?
A dream to be something
Bigger than you
Bigger than me
A dream to not just be standing on my own two feet
But to slow down
and embrace our God-given peace
A peace “which surpasses all comprehension”
A love beyond definition
 
“And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus…The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you” – Philippians 4:7 & 9
