for the singles of The One Body of Christ in Midland~

Father!
Abba of all of us!
we believe You are hearing our cries
for The One Body of Yours,
so thank You!
thank You!
thank You, Sir,
for Your lovingkindness
extended
again and again
to us,
Yours.

but forgive, O God,
our pretenciousness,
haughtiness
and the vanity of prides
of various sorts,
built up in self-defense,
over time,
to compensate for the insecurities inside
of not being "enough".

i am glad we are not enough,
for would we then need You?
so we rejoice in the coming revelations
that no, no, no.
we are NOT enough,
are laodecian,
and in need of obedience to Your kind revelations
in these last days.

o God!
let us dip down to knees
and bend,
bend to The Waters
and wash our eyes
from culture's webs
and blink again
to "see" clearly
what we have missed.

let us not waste our singleness
one day more!
for it is a grace.
a gift
few understand the value of;
for it means the gift of more time,
if we do not mispend,
more time with You
down here,
where we need You the most.

God!
let even this weekend
that so many look forward to,
wasting the week,
let these two days
bring hundreds to revelation
that they chase fog
and illusions
that mask dark and long roads
no one wants to travel.

may they turn.
turn in their dusty tears
from what has distracted too long
to The Satisfier of their souls.
