Say so!

Psalms 107:2

Valentina Lear Jackson

Today
I tear through the veils of hesitation, compromise, and excuse
to declare my discovery of the universal God.
I choose, this day, this path;
and, as one redeemed, I say so.

It's clear now.
I have been scared and smug and silent too long.
Love's full brightness is here,
my purpose sure, my path well marked.

Today,
speaking and sharing effectively with others
the Life that liberates me,
I am one with zest,
one in peace,
one redeemed ...
saying so.
