Shhh! Angels afoot!

I get it! I shouted,Telling the world,Telling a friend,Telling myself,So noisily, I almost missed the next God messageWhich came on angel wings—Peace, be still!A rustle, a whisper, pointing out the Way,In daily, hourly, by-the-moment steps,Forever leading upward.

Think of the wonder

Think of the wonder in their eyesThose shepherds taken by surpriseAnd told to go to Bethlehem!Silently they left their sheepThis most sacred trust to keep—Followed, scarcely knowing why,The star that beckoned from the sky.

The humblest heartWill soonest knowThe love and will of God.

Love's freedom

I love to demonstrateYour freedom, Lord,and witness to Your peace.

How beautiful the moonlight!I rise to know a radiance sourced in Soul.

During my study today I discoveredhealing truths for the troubles of others.
