Be Loved

Striving
   Trying
      Pushing
Crashing

Logic
   Routine
      Discipline
Failure

Pray
   Read
      Decide
Not enough

Good intentions
   Nice try
      Looking good
How did I get here, a.gain?!

Must
   Be
     Different
         Way

Deep breath
   Shoulders back
      Wait
         Let go

Open heart
   Accusation silenced
      An invitation
         Rest

Walls down
   New eyes
      Joy renewing
         Beauty

There is love that came for me
   Before I was, He Is
      No earning or winning
         Just love

My part?
   Accept
      Believe
         Receive

Be loved
   Live loved
      Quit hiding
         Walk on

So with me
   Will you
      Live loved
         Be loved?

  1. Just this morning I have been thinking about Jesus' admonition to "take My yoke upon you... learn... I am gentle... you will find rest." How interesting that He doesn't say: "work, pull hard, watch how much we can get done together..."
    Good food for thought!
