The Word of God..

---

Oh God, you give your Word to calm our hearts

from beating anxiously in fear and dread.

Your word to us by definition parts

from breath, though carried on it, from your head.

Or maybe we just lose perceptions we

might have of how your wind or breath can be

still there within a mind, where we can "see",

and spirit morphs to motive, hopes or dreams.

Your word fills in, and helps us know more than

is there before our eyes. We get to have

the mind of Christ, the only true hu-man,

& too to see the secret things and nav-

i-gate a world of knowledge higher than

the world of facts & figures, tick boxes.

We get to know as friend, this God in Man,

the Word of God is knocking. A knock says

"If you'll invite me, I will enter in."

It also says, "I've not knocked down your door".

I've given you capacity to sin,

when I made you my child. Now there is more.

If you will listen to the word of God,

and try to understand, in partnership

with me, your other hemisphere, that's got

Capacitiy to see, perceive, not flip. 

If I will keep the word of God in me

and live it out obediently from love,

and keep my word, as you do, we might see

more of the kind of life that's "from above".
