While wondering if I was holding onto a memory and the one I loved was already gone... this is All I have:


If i could give the world to you,
            who will never see it again;
if i could give you eyes to see,
            a voice to sing and feet to dance away
                        this life that’s slowly fading;
if i had words enough to calm your fear
            then maybe you would be free.

but there’s nothing I can give
            to let you live again.
All i have are tears –
            tears for your pain,
            tears for your beauty, which

this world cannot see.



And now, a year later, this is what I know:


Perfect Love –
            you see
            you sing
            you dance
- into Life.
            fear is conquered.
            tears are dried.
and Beauty.
            your beauty shines like the morning sun

for the Glory of the Holy One
is reflected perfectly
In you.

Holy Discontent

Moses couldn't stand for his people being suppressed. God met his frustration by appointing Moses to lead his people out of slavery.
Nehemiah couldn't stand to see his people in Jerusalem suffering. God met his frustration by appointing him to rebuild Jerusalem.
The early church in Acts couldn't stand to see the widows' needs unmet. God met their complaint by appointing 7 of them as leaders.

May your heart ache for what God's heart aches for.

What can't you stand?
