Because God is

Because God is unchanging LoveI am free to listen for His voice from aboveI am pure and perfect in His eyesI reflect truth, there are no lies

Aspiration

Wings,       pin feathers at first, and fluffy down,    then sturdy flight feathers         for lift off,       for soaring,         for spiraling                  up-upward;Moment by moment prayer—a listening,       catching the updraft,           circling from one good deed               to the next,       being borne on gratitude          and trust—                        those sturdy pinions.

God, I love You

God, I love YouYou’re always here.
