Keep Your Eyes Glued to God

Tonight I watched a concert,
And I marveled at how the musicians each played their individual instruments
As they gazed intently at their scrolls.

What really amazed me about this is that they did not need to look at each other to be in perfect harmony.
As long as each one kept his eyes glued to his own piece,
He played his part in perfection,
And the whole orchestra resonated with surpassing harmony and beauty.

It is like this that the world functions;
Keep your eyes glued to God
And play your piece.

Make Me the Evidence

Yesterday I thought a mundane thought,
And God's answer to my need caused me to pray one of my sweetest prayers.
Let me explain:

During the day I was thinking, I'm hungry but where I am going to eat dinner, I do not know what can possibly satisfy me...
I don't eat meat, but I need something substantial to fill me on these cold winter days.

When I arrived at the restaurant my friend had chosen, and ate the dish she recommended,
I was more than satisfied!

I knew that God was in the conception of the meal.
It seems to be a small thing,
But the miracle is, 
Before I even knew what I wanted or needed He was preparing it for me!

What a Great God we have.

I thought, if this one meal could fill my heart with faith,
If this bit of food could be such an evidence for You,
How much more could I be?

And I prayed one of the best prayers of my life:
God, make me a clear proof
Of your wonderful providence to people,
Let their faith be bolstered when they see me,
In my actions, and in my words let the people see evidence of Grace,
Such that their hearts bow down in love to You.

Dimensions of Grace

I just got up to check the potatoes.
I knew that if I started writing poetry tonight,
I could be transferred into a dimension of grace,
Where I forget all earthly things
And the food might burn.

A Good Reputation

I was going to make big plans for my life,
But I've decided to trust the Greatest Planner,
He has a good reputation after all.

Divine Nature and Capacities

I feel God's love now like a drug,
It floods my being and makes me forget everything else.

I know on some level that I am holding it at bay,
This love,
Because if I let it penetrate into deeper parts of my heart
I may lose normal human nature and capacities.

What am I worried about though?  
I will then inherit Divine nature and capacities.

Two Kinds of Thoughts

There are thoughts that focus on God and grace,
I call those fasting thoughts,
And then there are the other thoughts.

I try to reside in the former more than the latter as much as possible.

God's Character

God's character is a promise
Enough to bring us peace,
For life, death and everything in between.

He knows my destiny and will make me happier than I could ever make myself.
